Massachusetts Maritime Update
News continues to come from Massachusetts Maritime Academy. On Thursday, December 16th the Massachusetts Higher Board of Education reversed the firing of the president. On Friday John Linnon, a retired Coast Guard Admiral who was appointed to the MMA board in 1999, resigned from the Board of Trustees. Citing the poor handling of the entire affair, Linnon is leaving just as the Board of Higher Education is investigating whether or not the Trustees violated open meeting, and other laws during the firing.
