University of Maine System Trustees will consider a proposal Monday to make the system’s campus in Machias part of UMaine, the Portland Press Herald reports. Under the plan, the Machias campus, which has struggled financially, “would become a college or branch campus of UMaine with a campus executive head/dean at Machias with administrative services and overall academic leadership provided from UMaine,” according to board materials posted online.
