This article summarizes recent developments at the University of Maine, including proposed academic program changes and the UMaine men’s hockey team's appearance in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.
The University of Maine System faces an $18 million budget shortfall, leading to proposed program eliminations and suspensions. A faculty senate voted to eliminate the Master of Arts in Teaching Spanish due to historically low enrollment (zero to three students per year in the past five years). They also voted to suspend the medical laboratory sciences bachelor’s degree for three years, with a review for possible elimination afterward. These changes require further approval from the University of Maine System Board of Trustees.
On the ice, the UMaine Black Bears lost 5-0 to Boston College in the Hockey East Quarterfinals. Boston College's James Hagens had a standout performance with two goals and an assist, while Louka Cloutier recorded a shutout for BC. The game was broadcast on NESN and ESPN+.
