Subcommittee Urges Election for Regents' Council Rep
Charleston West Virginia the legislative subcommittee urged the Board of Regents Faculty Advisory Council to elect its first voting representative by Thursday. WVU professor Dr J D Peters said compliance unlikely before the end of the month due to a tied vote and scheduling. The law signed by Gov. Jay gives voting rights to faculty and student reps, prompting meetings in June and October to select chairs. The student body chose Buddy Watson as voting rep, while the faculty vote remained deadlocked. Nelson and Albright warned the council’s inaction undermines legislative intent and higher education policy.
