The Senate Education Committee discussed opening a New River Community and Technical College in Beckley under Bluefield State College and ordered a study by September to save costs by trimming administration. A HEPC report urged merging Bluefield State and Concord College under one administrative organization, with a single board and shared consolidation plans, while downsizing facilities. Local opponents said mergers threaten community, economy, and separate missions.

Lawsuit reform debate pits lawyers against doctors
Jay Ambrose argues that malpractice litigation is driven by lawyers seeking huge awards and not solely by negligent doctors. He notes inflated pain and suffering damages, juror influence fears, and insurer premium pressures. He supports tort reform, including caps on non economic awards, with calls for federal intervention to curb abuse and protect patient access.
