Budget figures show varying rises in 1969 across methods
Administration officials argue budget totals reflect slower spending growth under all-inclusive figures. The 1969 rise is 10.4 billion versus 17.2 billion in 1968 and 24 billion in 1967 with traditional and asset-sale adjusted bases yielding 10.2, 11.5, 8.9 and other year figures. Officials say the year’s economic impact will be far less than this year.
West Virginia Board of Regents Proposal Draws Opposition
Dr Harlow criticized the plan to create a separate Board of Regents arguing it would require more members to govern state learning institutions. He questioned whether the Regents would strip budget power from the current university and board of governors, suggesting administration would still present budget matters to the Regents and then to the legislature. He noted the Regents model is popular nationally but often consolidates control rather than adding separate college boards.
