Higher Education Committee Chairman Gayle Kingery, R-Poplar Bluff, said the more he explored the issue, the more questions he found. Kingery said the committee planned to vote on the bill next week but bill provisions to appropriate based solely on the number of students enrolled would be eliminated.
But the calm lawmakers said they expected in a House Higher Education Committee hearing was broken by the testimony of MU student Greg Chase. Chase began his remarks by identifying himself as Higher Education Committee Chairman Rep. Gayle Kingery. He then asked the Popular Bluff Republican if he felt his name had been stolen; Chase also said committee members were not qualified to vote on the measure if they did not know all of its implications.
