Congressman Anthony G. Brown Rips Maryland Board of Regents, Says It "Failed" Jordan McNair

Congressman Anthony G. Brown (D, Md.) is calling for "meaningful change" at the University of Maryland after the Board of Regents recommended Tuesday that DJ Durkin would be reinstated, a move that was accepted by university president Wallace Loh.

Brown, a U.S. Representative for Maryland's fourth district, released a statement on Wednesday that ripped the regents for allowing Durkin to return as Maryland's football coach. The group also recommended on Tuesday that athletic director Damon Evans keep his job.

Brown called for the firing of both Durkin and Evans and for chairman James Brady's resignation from the board of regents.
