Requesting the higher education governing bodies to adopt a fee waiver policy for students involved in community service, including students providing assistance to other students with disabilities.

Whereas, The federal government has established a program to provide financial assistance to college students who are employed in community services; and

Whereas, Many college students with disabilities fight overwhelming odds to participate in college education programs; and
Whereas, Students who work as readers for the blind, peer monitors or in any other capacity which enables more students to benefit from a college education are performing a valuable community service; and
Whereas, Over forty thousand children in this State have been identified as having a disability; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the higher education governing bodies are hereby requested to adopt a fee waiver policy for students involved in community service, including students providing assistance to other students with disabilities; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates forward a copy of this resolution to each member of the Board of Directors of the State College System and to each member of the University of West Virginia Board of Trustees.
