West Virginia spent $3M on an ‘anti-woke’ college program. One student is enrolled
Just one student is reportedly enrolled at a new West Virginia University center designed to push back on “woke” ideology ahead of its opening this fall.
“I’m not happy about it,” Democratic state lawmaker John Williams told West Virginia Watch. “Now we’re in a position where we’ve allocated so much money towards this program, and only one person is taking advantage of it.”
The Independent has contacted the university for comment.
In 2025, Republican lawmakers mandated the creation of the hub, the Washington Center for Civics, Culture and Statesmanship, allocating $3 million in support.
At the time, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said the center would focus on classics and American civics “to push back on the woke ideology that has infected our schools and help return higher education to its true purpose.”
