Good 'Ole Boy McCrory will be ecstatic if the University of North Carolina bankrupts because of the lack of federal funding.

He and Pope don't want public universities and colleges anymore. They have cronies that need to be feed.

The University of North Carolina has provided invaluable people to the brain trust of the USA. All UNC has to do is note the importance of it's educational system as a national security issue to stand against the political paradigm in Raleigh that enforces religion over government, hence civil rights violations.

There are a lot of issues within the UNC system since McCrory took office. It is their favorite game.'

...In response to a series of questions, (click here) Fennebresque insisted that the decision was not about politics, at least not “to the best of my knowledge.” Few observers believed that there was not some political motivation. Ross, a former judge, once headed the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, a major funder of progressive causes in North Carolina. Since Republicans, many of them affiliated with the Tea Party movement, took over the North Carolina General Assembly in 2010, the board of governors has become a Republican redoubt. Ross, in an answer to one question, did allude to the elephant in the room, observing, “There’s been a dramatic change in the state’s leadership, in policymakers.”...

There has been a lot of administrative turbulence in most of the public universities.

It is called corruption of the public trust.

By Jesse Saffron  The Benedictine monks (click here) who founded Belmont Abbey College 138 years ago are better known for peacefulness than for trend-setting. But the Gaston County campus is the scene of a bold experiment watched by other private liberal-arts colleges in North Carolina. Belmont Abbey cut its annual tuition and required fees by a third in 2013 to $18,500 and didn’t raise the price this year, putting the college well below the $25,000 to $33,000 a year that many of its peers charge. William Peace University in Raleigh cut its tuition by nearly $2,000, to $23,700, in 2012. So far no other private or public university in the state has made a similar decision. Tuition at North Carolina’s public colleges is much lower, ranging from about $4,500 per year at Elizabeth City State University to $8,100 at N.C. State and UNC Chapel Hill. Belmont Abbey wants to make the school more accessible to students from low- and middle-income families and to narrow its academic focus, President William Thierfelder says. Along with the tuition cuts, Belmont Abbey eliminated 16 of 85 administrative employees in April, cutting $1 million from its $26 million annual budget. The lower costs should help push enrollment from almost 900 traditional students this year to 1,000 over the next few years, college spokesman Rolando Rivas says. (The school offers a separate program for older adults.)...

The McCrory administration is breeding hate because of their religious push in North Carolina. I blame that hubris that created attitudes that lead to the death of there Muslims students.

Was it a dispute (click here) lover a parking space or something more sinister that prompted the shooting death of three students in an apartment near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus?
Police said "an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking" might have been a factor in the shootings Tuesday evening but said they weren't dismissing the possibility of a hate crime.
The victims -- a newlywed couple and the bride's younger sister -- were shot in the head,sources told CNN affiliate WRAL.
Their families say the gunman had threatened the victims before, and they believe the shootings were a hate crime....

There are many reasons for UNC to stand up to Raleigh's Hate Culture that would destroy its educational excellence.
