On this West Virginia Morning, as part of our continuing series on West Virginia’s workforce, we look at the demands for nurses, during the pandemic and now. Emily Rice brings us this story.

Also, in this show, West Virginia University’s Board of Governors met Tuesday to receive updates on the university’s proposed cuts to programs and faculty. Chris Schulz has more.

And, in at least 20 states, including West Virginia, there are laws banning transgender girls and women from competing on girls and women’s sports teams. On the next episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay looks at the battle over gender and sports.
