College Board
Judge OK's the teaching of casino management
July 6
At the University of
Southern Mississippi, the College Board has
the ability to approbate casino-management
classes, and it has done just that. Just in
time for the 4th of July weekend, the
verdict was announced on Friday.
For many online casino
players, this is one more step into the
mainstream. Considered to be a very positive
step in the right direction, many online
casino players now feel that if they want to
even work at a casino, this will be the
place to learn from.
Hinds County Chancellor
Patricia Wise stated in her ruling that even
though Mississippi state law stops public
institutions like colleges and universities
from teaching students such things as
dealing cards, the law allows management
courses.
The judge added that the
College Board was well within its
constitutional rights to allow the
curriculum brought-on by the University.
Yesterday, the
Commissioner of Higher Education also condoned
the judge's decision to move forward with
offering the casino management courses.
Back in April of last
year, the College Board OK'd the
University's notion to provide a bachelor's in
business administration with an attention
focused on casino resort management.
Then, the very next
month, an Attorney General imposed an opinion
that the College Board stepped outside it's
ability by authorizing the gaming classes at the
school. In response, the College Board filed a
lawsuit to fight the opinion.
