Q/A period. Question: Will Tuition remission for UMCP employees go away? Destler's Answer: We will protect tuition remission at all costs---but the real question is: Will that be used as an excuse for further cuts? The point is that we need to deliver the message that we cannot take any further cuts---tuition remission is covered by this more general message.
