TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you for publishing the article “As UNC-system President Margaret Spellings walks in, students walk out.”
It is important to become informed of the politics of the university they attend. Margaret Spellings held tenure in the Apollo Education Group, which is the parent company of the University of Phoenix — a for-profit university. She also holds an unacceptable stance on LGBT issues and board policies that would affect historically black colleges. These people and colleges are a part of our community and should be protected. I would like to call attention to the fact that in addition to us, six other campuses participated.
This shows the dedication and unification of a system of schools.
I urge everyone out there who is informed and disagrees with the appointment of Margaret Spellings to continue the efforts being made to oppose it, and I urge those who are not informed to quickly get informed, and take action. This is how we make change.
