looks like it wasn't even voted on. Senate votes involve funding and usually when no voting happens means there was not enough info on how funding from the state would work. Probably will get a closer look next year.

very smart on EKU's part. If the Appalachia Health Consortium endorses EKU and states that the region needs this program and the state comes back and says "No", it is a black eye for state basically saying they don't care about that region of people. Chess not checkers.

Couldn't agree more with this well informed response!

Apparently the Senate voted for and funded a feasibility study.

Feasibility study is expected back in the month of December. Very interested to see what they’ll find. This professional school would be so massive for our university.

DO school approved!!!! This is very very big for EKU. Enrollment, state funding, and budget will be see major changes.

Senate passed it today? I can find the House vote from Feb.

Never mind. Found the info.

Seems like the bill is for the next step to review the proposed program.
