Final word sought on Bluefield State bill in Charleston
West Virginia lawmakers sent SB448 to Gov. Wise for signing amid fears it could split Bluefield State College two year programs from four year degrees and move them to New River Community and Technical College. The bill passed both chambers, with an amendment granting university status to four colleges including Concord College. Local campaigns urge veto and Wise reserved judgment after the session.
