SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Reporting of extended absences of students attending public institutions of higher education pursuant to student visas. Directs the governing board of each public two- and four-year institution of higher education in Virginia, pursuant to guidelines to be developed by the State Council of Higher Education, to develop and implement a procedure for reporting extended absences of students attending the relevant institution pursuant to a student visa granted by the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

The State Council is to develop the guidelines in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General to ensure the observance of any relevant individual civil and privacy rights. The guidelines must address, among other things, the timely reporting of absences by governing boards to the State Council, criteria for defining extended absences, and recommended mechanisms for recording such absences. The State Council must regularly report such recorded absences to the Immigration and Naturalization Service and relevant local law-enforcement authorities.
