WV House keeps community colleges as is in West Virginia plan
West Virginia State and Fairmont State would remain community colleges indefinitely under a House Education Committee proposal to restructure higher education. The plan, similar to the Senate version, moves toward a single governing board with an eight member policy commission and a funding system based on peer-college comparisons rather than enrollment. A conference committee is expected midweek to reconcile differences.

Senate rejects statistical sampling in census
Virginia Senate along party lines voted 21 to 19 to redraw legislative and congressional districts using 2000 Census counts without statistical sampling. Democrats argued the method would undercount minorities and the poor. Republicans said it reflects traditional head counts.
