UNC trustees to ask legislature to increase student fees beyond what's allowed

UNC-Chapel Hill’s Board of Trustees is poised to ask the UNC System Board of Governors and state lawmakers for a special exception: to allow the school to increase student fees beyond the 3% increase that’s allowed each year. UNC plans to keep tuition flat at $7,230 for in-state undergraduates — and to once again increase out-of-state undergraduate tuition by 10%. That would bring out-of-state tuition to more than $52,200, thanks to repeated hikes UNC says are required to keep up with prices at its peer institutions. But it’s the university’s student fees that UNC is hoping to increase beyond what’s allowed under current policies. The effort to increase fees by nearly $450 was spearheaded by Jim Blaine, a well-connected conservative political operative in North Carolina who chairs UNC’s Budget, Finance, and Infrastructure Committee. UNC’s fees currently come to $1,851, according to the UNC System. This increase, if approved, would bring that to $2,299, matching NC State University’s current fees. UNC-Chapel Hill currently has the lowest fees across the UNC System. The board wants permission to increase its fees so it’s tied for lowest with NC State. That would generate $14.5 million in annual revenue and support $220 million in additional

Quick Thoughts on UNC football ahead of a showdown with Louisville

UNC handled UConn last Saturday. The defense flipped its usual script, surrendering an abnormally high number of explosive plays (nine) but also generating an abnormally high level of havoc: eight QB hurries, three sacks, four tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and a fumble recovery (with an assist from the officials). UNC’s offense, in its last six drives, produced five touchdowns and a single missed FG on a wet field. UNC simply made more plays than UConn on both sides of the ball in a comfortable win.

They Grow the Best Flowers and Strawberries in North Carolina

There’s a picture of America that never goes out of style. A farm stand at the edge of a gravel lot. A hand-lettered sign. Buckets of zinnias by the register, a flat of strawberries still warm from the field, and someone behind the table who can tell you exactly where it all came from.

Georgia not approaching UNC game in awe of blue blood program

It’s college basketball’s bluest of blue bloods against a program whose leading scorer is named Blue. Georgia and Blue Cain visit UNC Friday night for a nationally televised game on ESPN2 at the Dean Dome in the first matchup between the Bulldogs and Tar Heels in 28 years. Cain’s father played golf at North Carolina's arch-rival, Duke, and named his son for the Blue Devils. North Carolina has won six NCAA championships and played in 21 Final Fours--more than any other program--but is unranked under first-year coach Michael Malone in this matchup of 3-0 teams. Georgia , a program who plays in the shadow of its top tier football program, is seeking a third straight NCAA Tournament trip under coach Mike White. It doesn’t plan to be intimidated by the all banners hanging in the rafters in its first road game of the season. “They put their jersey on like we do,” Georgia senior guard Smurf Millender said. “They bleed how we bleed. It’s not nothing that we’re not prepared for that Coach White and the other coaches haven’t prepared us for since June.” Georgia is 5-13 all-time against the Tar Heels, but had perhaps the biggest win in program
