(a) (1) The General Assembly hereby acknowledges that too often, persons enrolled in institutions of higher education do not appreciate the value of their postsecondary educational experience and, following a brief history of poor and failing grades, such persons decide to pursue other worldly pursuits outside the academic world. The General Assembly further finds that following a considerable passage of time, the appreciation for postsecondary educational opportunities increases in such persons to the point that they seek to return to the institution only to find that the grades they acquired during their earlier experience act as a barrier and hindrance to their academic progress.
(2) The purpose of this section is to provide a mechanism for institutions of higher education to disregard the records of such persons which prevent or impede their academic success.
(b) A student enrolled in an institution of higher education on April 8, 1991, shall be eligible for academic clemency.
