TO THE EDITOR:
On Tuesday, May 3, the North Carolina House of Representatives voted for a budget that cuts UNC’s funding by 17.4 percent and would be devastating to the academic integrity of our university.
A cut of this size means your classes will be bigger and you will have fewer courses to choose from. Furthermore, if you are currently receiving financial aid that could be jeopardized, many of the academic support programs you rely on will be significantly pared back. These cuts also affect the long-term viability of our institution and the value of your degree.
We cannot afford to let the budget pass with these proposed cuts. Student government is fighting for you, but we need your help.
unc.edu/studgov has information about how the Student Government Advocacy Team is mobilizing UNC students across the state to say NO to budget cuts that will rock this University to its very academic core. Join them.
Mary Cooper
Student Body President
