CLARKSDALE, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi university is transferring a former satellite campus to a community college.
College Board trustees on Thursday approved plans for Delta State to convey the Coahoma County Higher Education Center to Coahoma Community College.
The Clarksdale campus, which includes a historic mansion, was donated to Delta State by a foundation 2000. Delta State and Coahoma jointly offered classes there until last year, when Delta State ceased operations in Clarksdale. Delta State said at the time that state budget cuts meant it needed to cut operations to save money.
Coahoma has continued to manage and use the facility.
