SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Longwood College. Changes the classification of Longwood College to Longwood University. The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) is not charged with responsibility for review and approval of a name change for a public institution of higher education; however, SCHEV is required, pursuant to § 23-9.6:1, to "study any proposed escalation of any public institution to a degree-granting level higher than that level to which it is presently restricted" and to review and approve any proposed modifications in institutional missions. Longwood's board of visitors unanimously approved changing the institutional status to "university" at its December 1, 2001, meeting. This bill is identical to SB 342.
