BOSTON – A health-care innovation hub that will focus on developing digital technology for use in the delivery of medical services took its first turn in the spotlight Wednesday as Boston and state officials officially opened the center before an attentive throng at the Landmark Center near the Fens.
"This is where we work with the business community to move Boston innovation forward," Mayor Marty Walsh said at the event, according to posts on Twitter.
BOSTON — Bristling at a report that the University of Massachusetts sent more merit scholarship dollars to out-of-state students, university officials on Wednesday said no taxpayer money goes to out-of-state students and encouraged analysis of the positive tuition impacts involved with recruiting out-of-state students.
The Boston Globe on Sunday reported UMass awarded $22 million in merit scholarships to out-of-state students in 2015 compared to $9.9 million for in-state students. "Why should the taxpayers be paying to provide scholarships to out-of-state students?" Greg Sullivan, research director at the Pioneer Institute, asked the Globe.
