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.

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

I love that detail because it says a lot about how seriously North Carolina takes this fall snack. Some of these spots press their own cider right on the farm.

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
