RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Public universities would be prohibited from giving preferential treatment in admissions to applicants who are related to alumni or donors under a bill that sailed out of the Virginia Senate on Tuesday.
The
measure, which passed 39-0, now goes to the House of Delegates, where an identical bill, sponsored by Democratic Del. Dan Helmer, is pending. That
bill has also seen strong support so far; it advanced from a subcommittee on a bipartisan 10-0 vote this month.
