I hear the state of Mississippi wants to merge Jackson State, Alcorn State, and Mississippi Valley into one university to address a 400,000,000 dollar budget shortfall. What do you all think of that?

oh wow.....I personally don't like school mergers.....you lose all of the traditions and the memories of the past school and alumni really dont have anywhere to go back to.....thats why I feel bad for people who went to Smiley and Forestbrook
I dont think it will go through........BUT........JSU president has been talking with state reps to push it through and change the name to Jacobs State University. mascot would be the Phoenix. The proposal will be made Jan. 28th 2010. Like i said i dont think it will pass but if it did.......it would suck
More than likely the bill will die in the Senate. Just hypothetical speaking and if it did go through it would be a major backlash since they rather close an HBCU and not an community college plus they been speaking about these merger for years.
our prayers have been answered for now........the proposal was DOA because of the lack of support. Many people r angry with JSU prez. because he was pushing it hard. They are now going to raise tuition 9% at all the schools.
