Lottery: Grade inflation, non-traditionals, and stacking debated in Dem Caucus

Arkansas Dept of Higher Ed Director Jim Purcell took questions from House Democrats this morning, and topics ranged from grade inflation to determining how to allow home schoolers to take advantage of the proposed scholarships that would result from revenue generated by the lottery. Members are also receiving lots of feedback from the state's 2 yr institutions on the differential in scholarship amounts between two and four year institutions.
