爱荷华州立法者提出法案,将80%的兽医学校名额保留给州内学生,优先安排农村、混合动物兽医。 Iowa lawmakers advance a bill to reserve 80% of vet school spots for in-state students, prioritizing rural, mixed-animal veterinarians.

爱荷华州立大学的一个小组委员会批准了一项法案,要求爱荷华州立大学80%的兽医计划录取为爱荷华居民,优先选择那些计划在农村地区工作并专门从事混合动物护理的人。 An Iowa House subcommittee approved a bill requiring 80% of Iowa State University’s veterinary medicine program admissions to be Iowa residents, with preference for those planning to work in rural areas and specialize in mixed animal care. 立法禁止使用CASPer等非认知性测试,并旨在解决农村兽医短缺问题。 The legislation bans use of noncognitive tests like CASPer and aims to address rural veterinarian shortages. 虽然该法案可以将州内入学人数增加到57%以上,但州官员指出,执行支助股目前接纳的州外学生比较合格。 While the bill could raise in-state admissions to over 57%, state officials note ISU currently admits out-of-state students who are more qualified. 爱荷华州执政官委员会支持这个目标,支持贷款豁免和早期接受方案作为替代方案。 The Iowa Board of Regents supports the goal and backs loan forgiveness and early acceptance programs as alternatives. 立法者四分五裂,有些立法者赞成免除贷款,作为较快的解决办法。 Lawmakers are divided, with some favoring loan forgiveness as a quicker fix. 该法案如获通过,将在5至10年内生效。 The bill, if passed, would take effect in five to ten years.
