BOSTON — Education Secretary James Peyser received a raucous reception at the University of Massachusetts Boston on Thursday, where his entreaties to spur growth outside campuses and cut dead wood within state higher education ran up against faculty demands for more funding.
Peyser told the audience at a convocation ceremony on the harbor-side campus that state higher education institutions should work more closely together, and cut programs that are not working.
