BOSTON – Saddened and "shocked" to learn that his tourism chief had been indicted for extortion Thursday morning, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh praised the top city official, who he said would remain on paid leave.
"I think when you go out and ask people, anybody, they'll say great things about the man, about his job performance, and he's a workaholic, and again this is a very sad situation and an unfortunate situation," Walsh told reporters Thursday afternoon.
BOSTON – Rapid growth in enrollment and capital spending in the University of Massachusetts system may be coming at the expense of its mission to serve in-state students, according to a study released this week by the Pioneer Institute in Boston.
The study calls for tuition increase for out-of-state students. It also suggests that the university explore a cap on enrollment of non-Massachusetts resident students, who pay more than in-state students to attend the university.
