Colleges discuss merger plans for Bluefield State and Concord
HEPC minutes floated combining Bluefield State College and Concord College to gain economies and expand curricular offerings. A single board would run both, while preserving current missions and avoiding duplicate programs. Proposals urge downsizing underused facilities and funding, with BSC designated as admin body for a new New River Community and Technical College in Beckley.
