This one comes in via Bryan Alexander, who keeps an eye on these things. "Virginia will eliminate degree requirements and preferences for nearly 90% of classified jobs — salaried positions subject to the Virginia Personnel Act — in line with a growing private sector trend that looks at experience and other training as well as degrees when hiring." Now there are two possibilities here - looking at experience and other training in addition to degrees (which is how the private sector trend seems to be described), or experience and other training instead of degree requirements, which is what the headline suggests. "The reform will give equal consideration to applicants who have an equivalent combination and level of training, knowledge, skills, certifications and experience as college graduates." As always with stuff like this, seeing (and only seeing) is believing.
