Pierpont and other WV BOG degrees may be in danger

[DolceDolce]

There are some big scandals/conflicts brewing in West Virginia right now. The first is that some important people at some institutions (largely WVU, I think) have been found to have been chartering expensive single-person flights instead of driving 2 hours. This is wasting a lot of money. 

The second is that because these/this universities "have no money", they're shuttering a bunch of programs that "make no money". Students and staff are disputing that these programs don't earn money at all. They're pretty popular. 

This probably explains why Pierpont has decided to start charging students $130 for the BOG AAS. If it doesn't make money, these budgetary issues may mean that they have to shutter the whole program.

It could also be that they are reviewing budgets for next term or next year, and it was finally observed that the BOG Degree Program should rightfully encounter a new student fee - for consistency across all programs, as well as was a financial resource previously lacking for the BOG degree program, and perhaps can't be sustained any more, in part due to the popularity of the BOG Degree.
