wvu does get priority, but are making themselves more priority over everyone else. They are also disallowing other schools who may have a legitimate claim to something, not get any presence. Thats not only BS to do, but inherently wrong.
I expect nothing less from them though and on the grand scheme of it all, they are still laughed at and considered cousin screwing hillbillies by the rest of the forward thinking country.
But I digress.
WV has something like 30+ colleges its insane.
Considering the locations of MU and wvu, it'd make sense for wvu to have the northern areas and MU have the southern. Let MU and wvu have a satellite branch campus (MU has a northern one, wvu jas a southern one) at opposite ends just because...maybe MU gets Fairmont and wvu gets State.
Let UC remain but since its private, make them pay their own way.
Campuses would remain but they bear the name of wvu or MU and thus gain funding for them.
WV should consider these campuses to specialize in particulars for the areas they serve.
I do agree that a reduction and absorbtion wouldn't be a bad option. Allow the schools to remain but under a system...I know wvu already has one but MU should as well.
