House Bill 2805 calls for re-merging Pierpont Community and Technical College with Fairmont State University and making the CTC a division of the university.
The bill would also nullify a 2008 law that the West Virginia Legislature passed to force each state university to separate with the community and technical college they created in the early 1970s when community colleges were first created in the Mountain State.
If the bill passes, it also calls for turning over to Fairmont State all of the property that Pierpont currently owns. One of the bones of contention that grew out of the 2008 split involved some $30 million in bonds the two schools issued together to finance such facilities as residence halls and classrooms.
