TO THE EDITOR:
Dear UNC Board of Governors,
The University exists in its purest form at the level of faculty members and students. The University exists when a student breaks down crying in a professor’s office hours. The University exists when a science major like myself can have access to geography, drama and other humanities courses.
You all have taken a top-down management strategy, where you assume the central role of the University and too much emphasis is placed on bottom lines and percentages. Contrary to what our president-elect thinks, we are not customers. We are not good at keeping our heads down and doing what we are told.
We, students and faculty members, are critical thinkers thanks to our great University, and that is what makes this place truly special.
If you choose to continue to ignore the voices of your students and faculty members who make up the heart of this University, it will be to the detriment of this great university system that you were chosen to serve.
