From college to university?

[edit]

What year did it get university status? youngamerican (wtf?) 20:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In 2004, read the second sentence of the last paragraph of the History section. JDC808 (talk) 17:12, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. youngamerican (wtf?) 19:51, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Need more info

[edit]

I have checked the university's website and the state higher education website and both are not forthcoming with statistical information. The Department of Institutional Studies says they publish a booklet called "In Brief" every semester with facts. However, i can't find an online version.

Is the John W. Davis listed as president and graduate of Morehouse correct? The page for John W Davis that this links to appears to be an (extremely) incorrect match. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.171.207 (talk) 03:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

spelling and source issue

[edit]

The land on which WV State University stands belonged previously to Samuel I. Cabell--the name is misspelled in the entry. Also, the assertion that the land was originally Native American Mound Builder land is new to me--a citation for the source of this information would be welcome.

Land grant status

[edit]

The section about the university losing, then regaining, its land grant status could use some clarification. What exactly is land grant status? Exemption from property tax? --Saforrest (talk) 13:53, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
