TO THE EDITOR:
As budget cuts have made a significant impact on our school this year, making ends meet is an increasingly higher priority.
This is why — now more than ever — it is important to recognize that the UNC system is not closed and to realize the benefits UNC can offer the other UNC-system schools.
UNC UNCAs a result, it seems appropriate that UNC, as a flagship school, should do its best to bring in out-of-state revenue, thereby increasing the amount of money available to the relatively closed-off UNC system.
An increase in revenue for UNC means that it could afford to take less money from the state, allowing for more money for the other UNC-system schools — money to increase and enhance N.C. residents’ educations.
Current arguments implying that increasing out-of -state enrollment for UNC would betray North Carolina are false.
Increased out-of-state enrollment for UNC could mean more educational opportunities for N.C. residents in the UNC system, with a proper allocation of funds.
