SUMMARY: Senate Bill 2726 in Mississippi aims to close three institutions of higher learning by June 30, 2028. Policy and research analysts at Mississippi Votes have created a petition against the bill, garnering over 9,000 signatures. Some individuals, like Senator Derrick T. Simmons, believe that colleges and universities are important economic drivers and should be sustained rather than closed. On the other hand, some , like Ionimago Bey, are in favor of combining schools to maximize resources. The bill also allows for research institutes or laboratories to be relocated to another institution chosen by the Board of Trustees. Listening sessions are required before any decisions are finalized.
