Bill would c
universitie;
By Teresa K. Weaver
News Editor
The Senate Education Committee Wednesday
approved a bill that would make
appealing Commission on Higher Education
decisions more difficult.
The bill, which was approved by a 6-2
vote, would require any appeal of a commission
order to be approved by both the
House and Senate education committees.
Sfcnate Education Chairman Harry A.
Chapman Jr., D-Greenville, is sponsoring
the legislation, which he predicts will run
into some strong opposition in t he Senate.

CHAPMAN SAID the present system of
requiring only one legislative committee's
approval is unfair because the commission's
order is not given enough importance.
The burden of proof should be
shifted more to the schools making appeals,
he said.
The bill stems from USC's successful
