The West Virginia Senate approved SB448 25 to 9 despite Finance Committee amendments that would have preserved Bluefield State College’s two year associate programs at Bluefield. The bill, already amended in both chambers, heads to the House where approval is anticipated before a potential signature by Gov. Wise. Supporters say the measure seeks changes to program placements amid tense dispute over BSC’s transfer of programs to New River Community College in Beckley.
