Higher education bill heads to governor's desk
The West Virginia Senate sent House Bill 2542 to the governor after a 27 to 7 vote, aiming to give higher education institutions greater HR flexibility amid declining state funding. The bill creates two employee tiers, removes mandatory non classified quotas, allows universities to pursue bespoke classifications, and preserves grievance rights while adding external reviews and public comment periods.
