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

Duke Foundation leader says rural NC needs more hospitals - Today in Triangle History

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 13 in past years. On this day in 1926 , The News & Observer published a story about the Duke Foundation chair advocating for having money collected by churches go not toward building new church buildings but building a hospital in Durham County. W.S. Rankin spoke at Trinity Methodist Church in Durham, sharing his concerns that the church was “becoming so absorbed in the formalities” that it was not creating resources to help physically ailing people. Rankin shared stories about visiting poor people on the county’s outskirts who couldn’t afford medical diagnoses and didn’t live near hospitals. He said although North Carolina churches had been building hospitals, there needed to be more in other regions. “They have built them in Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and other places where half of the beds are vacant the year round, while in other places the suffering continues without relief.” Charlotte Speedway manager considers yearly races Also in 1926, Charlotte Speedway manager C.W. Roberts announced that the facility was considering hosting events just once a year. A race held the day before had 7,500 attendees, numbers much smaller than the usual turnout. Roberts
