What to watch at UNC and NC State boards of trustees meetings this week

Hello reader! Welcome to Higher Stakes , your source for North Carolina’s higher education news. I’m reporter Jane Winik Sartwell . It’s going to be a big week. Both the UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State trustees are meeting. The fallout from the disturbing Sigma Nu hazing investigation continues to unfold. St. Augustine’s , the historically Black university in Raleigh, faces a deadline to explain how it plans to exit bankruptcy. I’ll be focused all week on bringing you the latest on these stories. Stay tuned. For now, here’s a preview of what to expect at those trustees meetings. What to expect from UNC’s trustees Protocol for campus-wide centers and institutes could be changing. A proposed policy could expand the provost’s control over the launch of new centers, who sits on committees that handle their periodical reviews, and their discontinuation or reclassification. Earlier this year, the abrupt closure and consolidation of six centers focused on international studies brought this issue to the fore. Academic program review could now consider cost. A presentation on the Academic Program Review Refresh Project says that the initiative allows the university to tell whether “cost of instruction is aligned with student demand.” Trustee Marty Kotis previously

The nickname UNC basketball has for its bench players under Michael Malone

CHAPEL HILL — The moniker came from Angelo Brizzi and Isaiah Denis, according to Maximo Adams . Considering UNC basketball’s early-season production from its reserves, the nickname fits. In a 109-70 win over Wofford on Nov. 6, the Tar Heels got 58 points from their bench in just the second game of the Michael Malone era. The performance marked UNC’s best non-senior-day bench scoring output in seven years. “We call ourselves the bench mob,” Adams said with a laugh after posting his first double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds off the bench against the Terriers. “You just gotta come in with high energy. Whatever the starting five gives us, we gotta take it and we gotta amplify that even higher.” MAXIMO ENERGY: UNC's Maximo Adams shows 'relentless pursuit' in viral clip, double-double vs Wofford MALONE VIDEO: Michael Malone press conference video after UNC basketball win vs Wofford Entering its game against Wyoming (2-0) on Tuesday, Nov. 10 (7 p.m., ACC Network), UNC ranks 25th nationally in bench minutes at 42.2%, according to KenPom. The Heels were 66th last season at 36.2%. “I think it’s just confidence. We know that Coach (Malone) believes in us, our talents and our abilities,”

Why one of NC's newly elected lawmakers has no plans yet to pick a side

While the majority of registered voters in the state are unaffiliated with a major political party, it is uncommon for a candidate who doesn’t fall into Republican or Democratic molds to be elected to office. However, voters in Lee County chose April Montgomery, an unaffiliated candidate who campaigned on investing in public education and supporting small businesses, over a Republican candidate. Democrats took control of the state House in last week’s election. The party flipped so many seats that it is one seat away from a supermajority in the House, which could open up a role for Montgomery with Democrats who need one more vote to attain that dominant share. Montgomery told The News & Observer that she currently does not have plans to join either party’s strategy meetings. “We’ll figure out fairly early on in the season what the priorities are going to be and what best suits my district given those priorities and make decisions from there,” she said. Montgomery defeated Republican Charles Taylor, who serves as a Sanford City Council member. Republican Rep. John Sauls held the seat for seven terms over two tenures and did not seek reelection. Taylor filed a defamation lawsuit just before the

145. The Black Widow of North Carolina: Blanche Taylor Moore

In January 1986, Raymond Reid became extremely ill after eating a bowl of homemade potato soup. The soup came from Blanche Taylor Moore, the woman he'd been seeing since they met at the Kroger in Burlington, North Carolina, more than twenty years earlier. Ten months later, Raymond was dead. Doctors blamed a rare nerve disorder. But Raymond wasn't the first man in Blanche's life to die suddenly, and he wouldn't be the last to get sick.
