HCS HB 777 -- STATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION (Marsh)

This substitute renames Southwest Missouri State University as
Missouri State University.

It increases the number of members of the Missouri State
University's Board of Governors from eight to 10.  The substitute
also changes the name of Central Missouri State University to
University of Central Missouri.

The substitute specifies that the name change of any higher
education institution does not authorize the establishment of new
degree programs by procedures other than those established by
statute.  It also restricts Missouri State University from
duplicating the research, missions, professional doctoral
programs, and existing first professional programs of the
University of Missouri.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.
