President Ferguson Writes Op-Ed for BDN

President Paul Ferguson wrote an opinion piece for the Bangor Daily News titled “Why UMaine deserves your vote.” The president urged voters to support Question 2 on Nov. 5. He wrote the bond issue is designed to enhance educational and employment opportunities for Maine students and residents. If approved, the bond will provide $15.5 million to the University of Maine System — $5.5 million to UMaine — for renovations and improvements to existing laboratory and classroom facilities. The BDN also published an editorial titled “Yes on Question 2: Why $15.5 million in renovations at Maine’s universities is a smart investment.”
