West Virginia HB4587 prohibits state and local funds from supporting low-earning outcome postsecondary degree programs.

West Virginia HB4587 mandates the Higher Education Policy Council to adopt rules prohibiting state funds from being allocated or expended for low-earning degree programs. This includes various funding categories such as individual student financial aid, operational or instructional funding, and capital or facilities funding. The Council must also annually review federal determinations of low-earning outcome programs and report to the legislature on programs prohibited from receiving state aid, enforcement of such prohibitions, and the fiscal impact of these prohibitions.
