<p>In the UVa forum GolfFather brought up the article in the WashPo that mentioned several schools inc W&M and UVa that appeared to be admitting more OOS students. Dean J, the UVa admissions representative, responded with the following (note, if quotes are used the links are lost):</p>
<p>The ratio is part of the charter agreement that involved UVa, Tech, W&M, and VCU. SCHEV makes sure we are all compliant. 2-3 state legislators introduce a bill about the ratios every year (often excepting a few of the state schools). In my recollection, the bills always get sent to and fail in appropriations.</p>
<p>You can search for the bills and track the new ones on Richmond Sunlight. You can also see how bills get revised throughout the session on that site. The session begins January 9th and some bills have already been filed.</p>
