House Calls For Moratorium On Building New State Colleges
Oklahoma House adopts a 52 to 45 resolution by Rep. Cleta Deatherage calling for a moratorium on establishing new higher education institutions. The plan would bar regents from expanding programs such as extension centers without explicit legislative approval, citing financing concerns and quality. It also addresses harsher penalties for assaulting athletic officials in Senate action and edits to curriculum control via local boards.
