Moore names new Higher Education Commission secretary, last Cabinet pick

Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Wednesday announced that he has chosen Sanjay Rai to serve as acting secretary for the Maryland Higher Education Commission. It is the final Cabinet-level position to be filled in the new administration. Rai, senior vice president for academic affairs at Montgomery College, would need to be confirmed by the state Senate when the General Assembly reconvenes next January before losing the “acting” part of his title.
