HIGHER ED/SU BD SUPS: Requests that the Southern University Board of Supervisors take steps necessary to establish a medical school on the campus of Southern University at Baton Rouge

This resolution asks the Southern University Board of Supervisors to begin the process of creating a medical school on the university's Baton Rouge campus. The bill aims to address local workforce needs by training students for medical careers and increasing healthcare access for underrepresented communities in the region. It directs the university board to collaborate with the state Board of Regents, which holds the authority to approve new postsecondary institutions, to study the feasibility of this expansion.
