TO THE EDITOR:
I would like to point out to Mr. Taylor Nipp that if he felt it necessary to include, “I mean no offense to my out-of-state colleagues,” in his letter to the editor on Monday, he has assuredly already offended one of us.
In his letter, Mr. Nipp wrongly assumed that allowing more out-of-staters at UNC would “dampen the protests of in-state students against steeply increasing in-state tuition.”
Did I miss something, Mr. Nipp, or did the Board of Governors not elect to raise out-of-state tuition as well in their decision a few weeks ago?
I am extremely offended that a fellow Tar Heel would assume that this problem only affects one portion of our student population.
I am from Florida, and I marched in solidarity with my classmates that day against tuition hikes for all students.
Do not assume that simply because I don’t call North Carolina home, I do not recognize this as an issue worthy of my attention.
If you honestly think that my presence at this school goes against our “values as a university,” I must have misunderstood what it meant to be part of the UNC family.
