Arkansas State University branch campus bill may go to vote
A West Memphis state representative urged a vote today on a bill to permit Arkansas State University to run a branch campus in Crittenden County. Governor Pryor, after meeting Thursday, said he would study the measure, while signings on Southern State College branch at El Dorado already occurred. The House aimed to curb community colleges via a cap and authorizing elections to fund new campuses, amid debate over Union County’s potential tax votes and regional campus expansion.
