State of the University

Last week during West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin's State of the State address he told state universities and colleges not to raise tuition prices in 2010. It was his way of saving cash for higher education students in the Mountain State. Marshall University President Dr. Stephen Kopp admitted it's going to be tough.

Kopp said one way to keep the university making money without hiking costs is to bring in new students. He says Marshall will bring them in by bringing in new programs -- sports therapy and pharmacy. Both programs would be a value, as there is a serious need for professionals in those fields.

Kopp also addressed the Marshall's green initiative . He says by being more environmentally friendly, money will be saved. Kopp laid out how many resources have been saved since the program began.
