WHEREAS, Virginia's economic growth, prosperity, and quality of life are dependent upon the Commonwealth's ability to provide high-quality educational opportunities for its citizens; and

WHEREAS, Virginia voters will have the opportunity to build a better Virginia by approving a $900 million general obligation bond (GOB) referendum on November 5, 2002 that will pay for urgently needed upgrades, renovations, modernizations, and new construction on Virginia public college and university campuses, and necessary improvements at state museums, historic sites, and cultural attractions;

WHEREAS, its 2002-2004 system wide capital budget recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly, SCHEV recommended $970 million for major renovations and new construction projects at public college campuses; and

WHEREAS, by the end of this decade, SCHEV had identified that an additional 32,000 qualified high school graduates are expected to enroll at Virginia community colleges, public four-year colleges, and universities, whose existing facilities will not accommodate this enrollment growth; and

WHEREAS, SCHEV's recent Condition of Research at Virginia's Colleges and Universities found that the Commonwealth is not keeping pace with other states in this critical area that provides life-saving advances in medicine and scientific discovery, and contributes to job creation and economic competitiveness; and

WHEREAS, $200 million of the funding provided by the education bond referendum would support science, engineering, medical and other types of research activities; and

WHEREAS, $160 million in the bond package would help strengthen Virginia's community colleges, which provide essential workforce training and retraining required for high-tech, high-paying jobs in the information-age economy of the 21st Century; and

WHEREAS, every public four-year college, university, and community college in every region of Virginia will benefit from the 122 projects paid for by the education bond referendum: and

WHEREAS, passage of this bond package is projected to generate more than $1.5 billion in near-term economic activity by 2008, and create almost 14,000 new jobs; and

WHEREAS, passage of this referendum will not increase taxes, and will not affect Virginia's coveted "triple A" bond rating because passage will still leave the Commonwealth with ample capacity to repay debt;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia endorses the 900 million educational facilities bond issue
