Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour could be in for a fight next year over his proposal to merge that state’s three public historically black universities into one institution.
Barbour on Monday proposed merging Alcorn State University and Mississippi Valley State University into Jackson State University as part of his plan to deal with decreasing revenue and increasing government costs statewide. Each campus would continue to function, Barbour said in a prepared statement.
But lawmakers and leaders of the state’s HBCUs say the governor should come up with other ideas for cuts that don’t include merging the campuses.
