Comments
This bill gets introduced one or more times every year. Every year the public universities point out that they get a teeny-tiny percentage of their funding from the state (UVA, for instance, gets about 6% of their funding form the state), and that if the General Assembly wants to control their admissions practices, maybe they should fund them better. The universities also point out that they can charge out-of-state students a lot more, and they have to accept more out-of-state students as the legislature cuts their funding, because otherwise they wouldn't have enough money to pay their bills.
So, we're going to do that again now.
