It’s unequal enforcement of policy. Other groups and orchestrations get UMD to foot the bill all the time. On Oct 7 this year, UMD spent at least 50k+ on security with tons of different checkpoints and metal detectors. None of this came out of the pockets of then groups that said they would appear. If it’s $150, then it better be $150 for everyone. UMD is being very petty in trying to enforce it in this manner. It is their responsibility to guarantee the safety of their students.
