Rector Helen Dragas is just one step away from keeping her seat on the University of Virginia Board of Visitors.
The House of Delegates Privileges & Elections Committee voted Friday to support her reappointment by Governor Bob McDonnell. Despite protest from a handful of committee members, including 25th District Del. Steve Landes, a voice vote sent her confirmation on to the full House.
Dragas could be officially confirmed by lawmakers as early as next week.
