Got To Love Missouri
Here is part of the new MOHELA bill.
"Notwithstanding any provision of law or policy of a public institution of higher education to the contrary, no public college or university, as defined in section 173.355, shall reject an applicant for a faculty position based solely on the applicant having not earned a graduate degree, provided that the applicant has earned an undergraduate baccalaureate degree and has served for at least eight years in the general assembly."

This is truly strange. Depending upon one's expertise and appointed position, you do not need to have earned any degree to qualify as a university prof. Writers and artists in residence come to mind, as well as technical instructors with appropriate qualifications in lieu of college face time have always been able to serve in that position.
My brother got his community college electronics technical certificate the same night his electronics instructor got his associate's degree-- the instructor was a retired 20 year Navy electronics man/shipboard instructor, lest anyone think he was unqualified-- and my brother always claimed he was the best teacher he ever had, because the instructor knew his stuff by doing it everyday.
I wonder if this rider is to ensure that state legislators can get sinecures after they are term-limited out?
