Montana House to Kill Bill Restructuring Six-Unit University
The House Education Committee, led by Rep. Oscar Kraasen, recommended adverse action on Senate Bill 17 at a closed session. The measure would place Eastern Montana College and Western Montana College under Montana State University Missoula control and have smaller campuses administered by Bozeman, with their presidents reduced to vice presidents. Strong opposition from Butte and Billings communities warns against reduced autonomy and potential closures.
