This article discussed the University of Maine System (UMS) plan to “unite graduate programs for aspiring businesspeople, lawyers and public administrators under one roof” — in Portland. I got angry about this: because Maine citizens were only hearing about the plan when it was virtually a done deal — with the Board of Trustees to vote on it the very next day and the first phase of the project scheduled to begin in January 2017; because northern Maine was, once again, losing out to the more moneyed and influential south; and because the name of the proposed Center seemed to leave the door open for a continuation of the youth, money, and brain drain from the second district to the first.
