percent full-time faculty be established for the Virginia Community College
System. Consistent with higher education funding guidelines, it is expected
that the Virginia Community College System will utilize the funds provided for

the Virginia Community College System be reallocated to accommodate changes in
enrollment and other cost factors at each of the community colleges.
D. Tuition and fee revenues from out-of-state students taking
distance education courses through the Virginia Community College System must
exceed all direct and indirect costs of providing instruction to those
students. Tuition and fee rates to meet this requirement shall be established
by the State Board for Community Colleges.
