From a recent email sent by a UNC system school to students:
"This past Tuesday, the North Carolina House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee for Education released its budget proposal for 2011-12. The proposed reductions to the UNC System are devastating—a cut totaling 17.4 percent of the University System budget—and, as a result, today I am in Raleigh meeting with the House and Senate Leadership. UNC System President Tom Ross has stated, “a cut of this magnitude is equivalent to the entire state appropriations for UNC Asheville, UNC Greensboro, UNC Wilmington, Western Carolina University and Winston-Salem State University combined.”
Anyone care to speculate what this might mean, if passed, for the as yet unreleased 2011-2012 budget/tuition?
