How Democratic control of NC House could change private school voucher program

North Carolina’s private school voucher program could undergo changes now that Democrats, who have long criticized the program, will be in partial control of the legislature. Last week’s election has given Democrats control of the state House and — if current results hold — left Republicans with only a one-seat majority in the state Senate. Ideas for potential changes being floated include a moratorium against issuing new Opportunity Scholarships, increasing reporting requirements for private schools, and reinstating income limits for voucher recipients. “With the election of so many strong public school supporters to the legislature, Public Schools First NC hopes to see an end to private school vouchers,” Heather Koons, a spokesperson for the advocacy group, said in a statement. “We encourage lawmakers to impose a moratorium as Governor Stein requested in his budget proposal last year and as the N.C. Department of Public Instruction proposed in last week’s legislative priorities presentation.” The families of the more than 100,000 voucher students are wary of the potential changes that could happen next year and beyond. “I would just urge the leaders to continue the current program because it is a program that’s working well for so many families across the state,”

Who owns the Sigma Nu house at NC State, and what will become of it?

Just one day after search warrants revealed details of evidence and allegations of hazing at NC State University’s Sigma Nu fraternity — which included cocaine use, hospitalizations, pledges being forced to eat vomit, and other disturbing details — the chapter was closed by the national fraternity. The fraternity cannot return to NC State for at least four years. At that point, a “return agreement” could be considered, according to the university . For now, a criminal investigation of the hazing and drug use at the fraternity is still underway . The brothers must move out by Tuesday afternoon. But of course, the imposing house once home to the university’s oldest fraternity still stands. You can even take a virtual 3D tour of its interior . But who owns the house, and what will become of it now that Sigma Nu is no longer operational at NC State? The house is owned by an alumni house corporation, according to Christopher Brenton, director of communications at the national Sigma Nu organization. Alumni house corporations are separate from both the local chapter and the national fraternity. They are operated by alumni from the university’s chapter, and act as landlords or property managers.

Here are NC State's plans to increase tuition - for the second straight year

For the second year in a row, NC State is planning to ask the UNC System to increase in-state and out-of-state undergraduate tuition by 3% for the 2027-28 school year. That would bring in-state undergraduate tuition to $6,933, and out-of-state undergraduate tuition to $33,418. If the proposal gets final approval, it would mark the second straight year of 3% tuition increases for NC State’s incoming students. In-state undergrads already enrolled keep their current rate. Chancellor Kevin Howell said this will generate $4.5 million in extra cash for the university. The school plans to use most of that to “improve the quality and accessibility of the NC State educational experience.” But it is saving $1.4 million of the pot to fund promotional salary increases for faculty. NC State won’t raise tuition across the board for graduate students — but certain graduate programs will likely get more expensive. The board is asking to increase tuition for the school’s masters-level physiology program by $1,000, and tuition for its graduate programs in biomanufacturing by $2,000. The school also wants to increase its student media fee, its fee that funds repairs and renovations for its student center, and its housing and dining fees. The UNC
