1-56.10. SOUTHERN VIRGINIA HIGHER EDUCATION CENTER (xxx)"


Explanation
(This amendment provides general funds in the second year to continue the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center (SVHEC). The SVHEC is located in South Boston and is presently governed under Longwood University. House Bill 2071 continues the SVHEC independent of Longwood University, as an educational institution charged to, among other things, encourage the expansion of higher education, including adult and continuing education, associate, undergraduate, and graduate degree programs in the Southside region of the Commonwealth, and foster partnerships between the public and private sectors to enhance higher education in the region. A companion amendment in Item 190 to transfer the existing funding for the SVHEC from Longwood University is included in this amendment.)
