More on the Mississippi Proposed Mergers

Continued discussions on the proposed university mergers in Mississippi reaffirm that the merger plan is "dead," and Jackson State University President Ronald Mason continues to take heat for his merger proposal.

In the meantime, the merger discussion has generated much more debate about problems and potential solutions at the Mississippi University for Women, "The W." Major issues at play include a potential name change, substantial tuition increases and cuts in jobs, degrees, course offerings and departments.
