The Washington Post reported on March 6 that Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has asked Virginia public colleges and universities to rescind anti-discrimination policies that include protection based on sexual orientation, because it is not covered by Virginia law. (The Virginia General Assembly has rejected such a change over the years, and again as recently as this month.) All of the largest Virginia schools have such policies which mainly relate to the hiring and admissions processes. Homosexual activist groups and some student groups have protested the change.
