CHARLESTON — Gov. Patrick Morrisey hasn’t yet named a director of West Virginia University’s new Washington Center, an academic program mandated by Republican lawmakers for the campus. It’s required to teach “classical western history and culture.”

The new state law mandating the center gave Morrisey the task of appointing its director in consultation with the Senate and WVU’s Board of Governors. The appointed director must name a seven-member academic council for the center by Nov. 8, according to the legislation. The council can include only one university employee. kAm|@CC:D6J’D @77:46 5:5?’E C6DA@?5 E@ BF6DE:@?D 7@C E9:D DE@CJ] %96 #6AF3=:42? 8@G6C?@C AC6G:@FD=J k2 9C67lQ9EEADi^^H6DEG:C8:?:2H2E49]4@>^a_ad^_e^af^>@CC:D6J\H:==\2AA@:?E\5:C64E@C\@7\HGFD\?6H\C6BF:C65\4:G:4D\46?E6C\7@C\E
