Underwood lifts spending freeze easing higher education pressure
Gov. Cecil Underwood lifted a 3 percent state spending freeze after July revenue collections proved solid. WVU President David Hardesty said the move gives higher education breathing room as the state pursues a new governing plan. Marshall University leaders welcomed the decision, noting planned budgets but slower vacancy filling. Officials highlighted education’s vital role in economic development while monitoring revenue and expenditures to stay within projections.

Dalai Lama not invited to U.N. peace summit
More than 1,000 religious leaders invited to the Millennium World Peace Summit at the United Nations next month, but the Dalai Lama was not asked to attend due to fear of offending China. U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard cited China’s view of Tibet and potential controversy. Desmond Tutu protested the treatment, calling it bizarre, while Tutu attended only by invitation.
