West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore hinted that he will replace Board of Regents members and said he won’t accept their plan to close the state’s colleges and universities for a week to save $10.4 million. “That dog won’t hunt,” Moore said at a news conference. “We’re not going to go that route.” The regents voted to close the schools and furlough employees for five days in response to Moore’s demand that state agencies cut their budgets by 20%. The regents have to cut $10.4 million before the fiscal year ends June 30 to comply with that order.
