HB 2727 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Require at least one person of the WVU Board of Governors and of the West Virginia State University with a background in agriculture or agricultural field

HB 2727 requires that at least one member of both the West Virginia University (WVU) Board of Governors and the West Virginia State University (WVSU) Board of Governors must have a background in agriculture or an agricultural field. This bill amends existing law governing university board composition, adding a specific qualification requirement for these two boards. It directly affects WVU and WVSU governance by mandating this expertise in agricultural matters for one appointed board member. The change modifies current appointment rules without altering other board composition requirements.
