The governor said in a statement that he directed the Maryland Higher Education Commission and the University System of Maryland to expedite the admission process for any of the affected students for the fall semester. First day of classes for schools in the state system start next month. Kathy Hochul (D) said the state would provide affected Howard students an $800 credit, and she directed the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) to expedite the late admissions review process for those students. Moore said the $800 credit was meant to offset a nonrefundable deposit the students made to Howard. “The University System of Maryland is committed to helping these displaced students,” University System of Maryland Chancellor Jay Perman said in a statement.
