SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Consideration of domicile when awarding certain benefits. Provides that the public policy of the Commonwealth shall be that the public institutions of higher education shall not treat any student or applicant differently, on the basis of his status as a Virginia resident or domicile, in determining whether he receives any grant, scholarship, employment, housing or other benefit offered to students generally. This provision also prohibits the public institutions of higher education in Virginia from utilizing any criteria or methods of administration that have the effect of awarding such benefits solely to out-of-state students or applicants when determining the recipients of any grant, scholarship, employment, housing or other benefit. This section is not to be construed as prohibiting any special privileges that may be extended to, or otherwise favorable treatment of, a student or applicant by virtue of his status as a Virginia resident or domicile.
