JMU takes Sun Belt plan to General Assembly

“I think it’s a great opportunity for JMU,” said Delegate Betsy Carr.

Carr said JMU had to present the plan because of a law passed a few years ago.

Old Dominion University, which made the same move years ago, had to go through the same process. Their president spoke at the meeting, saying he fully supports JMU’s decision to pursue the transition.

The move will take a few years and will begin July 1, 2022.
