Summary
The purpose of this bill is to insure that closure or transfer of any publicly-funded higher education institution be preapproved by the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability (LOCEA); to require both an economic and educational study to be presented to the LOCEA before it may be closed or transferred; and to keep WVU-Tech in its current location in Montgomery. The bill makes clear that WVU-Tech may not be closed or transferred without LOCEA approval.
