"On Monday, Sen. Mamie Locke, D-Hampton, questioned if the risks against Virginia State have any connection to the institution not being funded to the same levels as Virginia Tech after the federal government estimated a year ago that VSU is owed over $277 million in state funding from 1987 to 2020.

Like Virginia Tech, the historically Black college in Petersburg is a land grant institution.

“It’s an HBCU and this state is known for not having funded HBCUs to the levels that they should be funded,” Locke said."

Virginia continues to underfund public schools.

Virginia State gets $18,991 per in-state FTE student in general fund appropriations (state revenues appropriated for the institution).  Virginia Tech gets $9,480 per in-state FTE.

Shhhh. Facts are not germane here.  It gets in the way of the emotional binky that VA is still a bastion of racism despite years of Democrat dominance.[/quote]

The fact is that VA did not fund HBCUs to the same level as white public universities for decades.
