A bill would close 3 of Mississippi’s 8 universities, but lawmakers say it’s likely to die
SUMMARY: A bill proposed in Mississippi would close three of the state's public universities by 2028, based on enrollment, federal aid, tuition rates, degree programs, and local economic impact. Lawmakers believe the bill is unlikely to pass, with concerns about lack of knowledge and opposition from both legislators and alumni groups. Previous attempts to reduce the number of universities in the state have failed due to lack of support. Some suggest that providing more state support to universities could help reverse enrollment declines. Republican Sen. Nicole Boyd is reviewing the legislation but has no immediate plans to bring it up for a vote.
