Marshall Students React To DEI Removal And Lawmakers Give Update On Budget Process, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, state and federal orders to repeal diversity, equity and inclusion programs have spurred organizational changes at Marshall University.  As Randy Yohe reports, these changes are being met with mixed reviews from students.

And the one thing delegates and senators are constitutionally required to do is pass a balanced state budget. News Director Eric Douglas spoke Wednesday with Sen. Jason Barrett, R-Berkeley, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Del. Clay Riley, R-Harrison, vice chairman of the House Finance Committee, to get their take on the budget process so far for The Legislature Today.
