And look_lookatme posted the following nugget as a reply to a post similar to yours. Quoting verbatim: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Of_Maryland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_Of_Maryland "However, in 1997 the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation allowing the University of Maryland, College Park to be known simply as the University of Maryland, recognizing the campus' role as the flagship institution of the University System of Maryland." No one of thinks "oh one of those Maryland universities with different faculties and different quality of education" when they hear University of Maryland. They think of College Park. It may be splitting hairs, but we shouldn't even be having this conversation, as it should be clear on the bio page.

That's just plain dishonesty. He should have mentioned the campus clearly on his resume. Dvorak screwed himself pretty badly. I wish Dvorak searched for the degree at UM University College rather than UM College Park.

Again, your information from Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Maryland Annotated Code, Title 12 of the Education Article, 12-101(b)7 informs that the definition of the University of Maryland includes all the colleges and universities as the University System of Maryland. And, you are making assumptions that everyone knows that University of Maryland implies College Park. It doesn't. As well as the fact that the University of Maryland, University College is locating directly on the College Park Campus in College Park, Maryland. As well as the fact that the University of Maryland College Park campus includes courses that are similiar in content at UMUC. If you doubt that this is the case, I would suggest you ask UMD-College Park to present their 2001 - 2009 Graduate School course listings for their software engineering Master's degree and compare it with UMUC's software engineering degree. You will find similiar courses between the two. Yes, you are splitting hairs and doesn't help your argument at all.
