SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Institute for Advanced Learning and Research. Creates the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research in Southside Virginia to be founded by Averett University, Danville Community College, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The Institute will seek to diversify the Dan River region's economy by acting as a catalyst for economic and community transformation, providing a site for the development of technology and a trained workforce, and expansion of access to higher education in Southside Virginia. The Institute will promote network-related educational initiatives and generally seek to stimulate the economic viability of the region through education. A nine-member board of trustees, consisting of institutional and citizen members, will govern the Institute that will have corporate powers and be authorized to enter into and administer agreements with institutions of higher education to deliver traditional and electronic education. The board may appoint an executive director, may seek additional staff support from its founding institutions, and may apply for, accept, and expend gifts, grants or donations from public or private sources. This measure is identical to HB 605.
