Introduced by: Frank W. Wagner | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Ratio of in-state and out-of-state students. Requires the governing bodies of public four-year institutions of higher education, beginning with the incoming freshman class of fall 2005, to maintain a ratio of the in-state and out-of-state student population in each incoming freshman class that is not less than 75 percent in-state students. Out-of-state students receiving full or partial athletic scholarships are not included in the calculation of out-of-state enrollments.

Institutions whose out-of-state enrollments within the incoming freshman class of fall 2004 exceeded 25 percent shall reduce such out-of-state enrollments by at least two percentage points annually to reach such required ratio.

The measure does not apply to Virginia Military Institute, Norfolk State University, and Virginia State University.

According to the State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) the percentage of out-of-state students in fall 2001 headcount enrollment (not just the incoming freshman class) at all four-year public institutions was 21.9 percent. Out-of-state students comprised 4.2 percent of fall 2001 headcount enrollment at Christopher Newport University; 37.7 percent at the College of William and Mary; 13.8 percent at George Mason University; 29.1 percent at James Madison University; 4.4 percent at Longwood University; 25.9 percent at Mary Washington College; 28.6 percent at Norfolk State University; 17 percent at Old Dominion University; 12.1 percent at Radford University; 33.6 percent at the University of Virginia; 5.9 percent at the University of Virginia's College at Wise; 49.4 percent at Virginia Military Institute; 31.7 percent at Virginia State University; and 30.7 percent at Virginia Tech.
