The Faculty Senate of the University of Virginia hereby resolves that:

"The University of Virginia Faculty Senate joins its colleagues in the Faculty Senate of Virginia, representing all the institutions of higher learning in the Commonwealth, to urge passage of the Higher Education Bond Issue in the November Election. This measure is a crucial step in helping to fund the pressing needs faced by all Virginia colleges and universities. These institutions face integrating an additional 32,000 students over the next eight years, in facilities that in many cases are already inadequate to meet needs. The bond issue will provide desperately needed funds for renovation and expansion. We urge all faculty to take an active role in promoting a positive vote on this measure."
