Educators urge branch colleges for West Virginia growth
A five member committee urged the State Board of Education to create two year branch colleges in West Virginia. They cited a 196 county gap with only 21.9 percent of graduates continuing to college in counties lacking a campus. The plan hinges on communities with about 30 000 population needing a two year program. The group warned against depriving the state of educated manpower.
