Comments
As a Virginia community college graduate who transfered into a Virginia state school you would think I would be in support of this bill. But, if someone from out of state wants to attend and is more qualified, should we not admit them to hit this 80% rule? I like the idea of bright people from out of state being able to transfer into our schools so I'm not sure I like this bill.
