Higher education recommendations approved

BATON ROUGE – Nov. 17, 2009 – A state higher education review panel Tuesday morning approved recommendations that could scale back the degree offerings at Louisiana’s regional universities.

The recommendations were submitted by commission members Jim Wharton, a former LSU chancellor, and state Senate Education Committee Chairman Ben Nevers, respectively.
