The partnership between UVa and the VCCS is a product of the Higher Education Restructuring Act, UVa spokeswoman Carol Wood said. Colleges taking advantage of restructuring are required to come up with agreements with local community colleges, agreements that are intended to make education available and affordable to state residents, Wood said.
