Iyer said he has never
worked with an ensemble like
this, or made art from a film.
Its been a hard time find-
ing a unity and finding a way to
harness the energy, Iyer said.
Florence said this perfor-
mance is not only about global-
izing The Rite of Spring but
also about giving context to
UNC celebrations of Holi by
working with Holi Moli UNC.
Sarah Barger, an executive
board member for Holi Moli
UNC, said the groups mission
this year is to help students rec-
ognize the cultural significance
of the event and to have fun.
We want to shift the per-
spective from an event that is
just people throwing powder
at each other to a cultural
experience with importance
in history and religion, she
said. The context is crucial.
However, Bhargava and
Iyer said inciting emotion
outweighs context.
The concept of The Rite
of Spring was to create this
attraction and repulsion and
stir up people, Bhargava said.
I hope people will come
and feel a little bit of winter as
theyre walking in and leave
feeling a little bit of spring.

From Page One Tuesday, March 26, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 7
required to appear in court
and testify.
While LoMonte said he
cannot speak for the UNC
case, he cited a sexual assault
case at Oklahoma State
University in which a male
student was charged with vio-
lating university sexual mis-
conduct policy. The student
did not attend his student
judiciary hearing.
In a proceeding like that,
if the student targeted by the
accuser chose not to put up a
defense then the panel has to
go with the evidence before
it, LoMonte said.
That doesnt mean that
the person who doesnt show
up loses; its still the burden
of the person bringing the
complaint to show that its
well-founded. Even in the
absence of defense, if the
accuser doesnt meet their
legal burden the case could
still be dismissed, he said.
The letter also harshly
criticizes UNC administra-
tors, claiming that the charge
brought against Gambill is
retaliation for speaking out
about how UNC handled her
sexual assault trial heard in
the spring of 2012.
Though the University has
repeatedly stated that it has
no hand in charging students
with Honor Code violations,
Turners letter said that is
simply not the case.
You, Chancellor Thorp,
have the authority and the
responsibility to immediately
dismiss this charge, Turner
said in the letter.
The letter cites the respon-
sibilities of the chancellor
defined by UNCs Instrument
of Student Judicial
Governance, which says that
the chancellor remains solely
responsible for all matters of
student discipline.
But the Instrument later
states the chancellor has in
the past granted the respon-
sibility of student conduct
policy to other parties.
The chancellor has typi-
cally and traditionally con-
ferred student discipline
to the student-led honor
system, said Undergraduate
Student Attorney General
Amanda Claire Grayson in a
previous interview.
Gambill has said in previ-
ous interviews that charging
her with an Honor Code vio-
lation is backlash for speaking
out about UNCs treatment
of sexual assault victims and
for filing complaints with two
offices in the U.S. Department
of Education the Office for
Civil Rights and the Clery Act

before the age of 16.
To receive a license, recipi-
ents in the program must
provide the same documents
as citizens proof of age
and identity, residency, Social
Security and liability insurance
as well as proof of legal pres-
ence by the U.S. government.
Program participants must
also take a road and written
exam and provide proof of
auto insurance.
Secretary of Transportation
Tony Tata said in the press
release that the license chang-
es will make the roads as safe
as possible.
Still, some immigration
groups say more needs to be
done.
Jose Torres-Don, who
works with the N.C. DREAM
Teams coordinating com-
mittee, said that though the
DMVs removal of the pink
stripe on the license was a
step in the right direction, the
alteration does not address
the larger problem of discrim-
ination toward immigrants.
We welcome the license
as an option that we did not
have before, Torres-Don said.
At the end of the day, we
are still subject to deportation
and harassment.
Ron Woodard, director of
N.C. Listen, an immigration
reform group, said the license
changes will not help curb
illegal immigration.
I certainly understand the
dilemma young people are in
because of their parents, but
what we should be consider-
ing are the consequences of
immigration changes.

LIcenses
from page 1
to thrive on Franklin Street.
Its largely the notion that
we do food really well, Funk
said.
In addition to restaurants,
downtown retail types with a
higher supply than demand
included office supply stores,
florists and book and music
stores.
The study identified sev-
eral business types downtown
lacks, including general mer-
chandise and grocery stores.
Other specialty stores such
as sporting goods, shoes and
jewelry stores were found to
be in low supply.
Kyle Vangel, a senior ana-
lyst at HR&A Advisors and
former UNC graduate student,
helped conduct the study.
He said diversifying down-
town business would draw
more customers into the area.
Vangel said this would aid
existing businesses by keep-
ing potential customers from
leaving downtown in search
of more retail options.
Glen Gordon, owner
of Tomato Jakes Pizzeria
at Southpoint and former
owner of the recently closed
Franklin Street location, said
diversifying the downtown
business market would foster
a larger consumer base.
If you want to attract
more, different people, you
have to attract different busi-
nesses, he said.
Dwight Bassett, economic
development officer for Chapel
Hill, said businesses downtown
do need to be more diverse.
But Bassett did not link
the lack of diversity with the
recent closures of a few iconic
Franklin Street restaurants.
Longtime Franklin Street
restaurant Peppers Pizza
closed its doors on March 4,
citing declining business. Jack
Sprat Cafe also unexpectedly
closed in October after eight
years on Franklin Street.
We have always had
turnover, we will always have
turnover, Bassett said. I
think what were seeing is
nothing more than part of
that (business) life cycle.
Competition from UNC
While a lack of retail diversi-
ty might be hurting downtown,
many Franklin Street business-
es attribute recent woes to their
biggest competitor for student
customers UNC.
Gordon said he had to sell
his Franklin Street location due
to a lack of revenue. He also
said an increase in the quality
of on-campus food services in
the past few years has played a
large role in the restaurant clo-
sures on Franklin Street.
We had to sell her because
we were losing money, he
said.
Hansel said competition to
bring in student customers is
increasingly difficult.
Yes, it is hard to compete
with other restaurants espe-
cially ones that are geared
towards a student population
because on Franklin Street,
you need to cater towards stu-
dents, he said.
Emily Hansel, a former
worker at Squids Restaurant,
and the wife of Spankys
General Manager Drew
Hansel, said the addition of
chain restaurants to on-cam-
pus dining has kept students
on campus for meals.
Kids are like, Oh, I eat at
that restaurant at home and
here is a little version of it
that I can eat of it at school,
she said.
Scott Myers, director of
food and vending for UNC,
said he does not believe
campus dining is negatively
affecting Franklin Street
restaurants. He said most
students live off campus and
on-campus residents are not
required to have a meal plan.
Everyone just wants to
serve their customers the best
they can, he said.

Compliance Division.
Both complaints were
opened for investigation this
month after Gambill was
charged.
This charge is a flagrant
example of how UNC is will-
ing to treat survivors in order
to protect perpetrators,
Gambill said in February.
Thorp said in a March 2
statement that administrators
have no authority over Honor
Court charge decisions.
The accusation that the
University has retaliated
against a student for filing a
complaint is totally and com-
pletely false, Thorp said.
University spokeswoman
Karen Moon declined to com-
ment Monday.
John Gresham, an attorney
at Tin Fulton Walker & Owen
who represents Gambills
ex-boyfriend the man she
has repeatedly accused of
rape said UNC played no
role in the complaint filed by
Gambills ex-boyfriend.
(Administrators) didnt
seek him out to file a com-
plaint, Gresham said. They
had no contact with him. I
advised him to file the com-
plaint.
It would be my guess that
the University would have
hoped my client would not
file this charge, based on all
the attention since, he said.
LoMonte said the com-
position of university honor
courts determines to what
extent administrators have
an influence over proceed-
ings, adding that judiciaries
entirely made up of students
are likely to operate indepen-
dently.
If the university know-
ingly presses forward with
what they are certain is a
frivolous case, then they can
be at fault, he said. But if
it truly is something that is
insulated from administra-
tors involvement, at least at
the investigation, its hard to
attribute their behavior to
the administrators and to the
institution.
If a student organization
commits a wrongful act you
can hold that organization
responsible, but you cant typ-
ically attribute their behavior
to a college as a whole.
Contact the desk editor at
university@dailytarheel.com.
The retaliatory
charges against my
client are utterly
without merit.

Antivirus software change will save UNC $45,000
By Jordan Bailey
Staff Writer
The University will soon be
switching antivirus software
in an effort to save about
$45,000 a year.
To comply with the change,
students and faculty must
remove the current product
from their laptops before
August 1.
Stan Waddell, executive
director and information secu-
rity officer for Information
Technology Services, said
UNC pays licensing fees to
Symantec, the current antivi-
rus software provider, and is
making a change to Microsoft.
He said UNC will save
money by making this change
because licensing for the new
product is already covered by
the campus agreement with
Microsoft.
Although all University
computers will be switched
to the Microsoft antivirus,
according to the ITS email
sent to the community March
18 on how to comply, students
and faculty can choose to use
whichever antivirus product
they want for their personal
computers.
Ramon Padilla, associate
vice chancellor and deputy
chief information officer for
ITS, said the University is
changing antivirus vendors
because administrators were
unhappy with some of the
functions of the software.
Much of the feedback
that we have received has
been from the departmental
administrators that have
to administer the software
from their departments, and
Symantec is not always the
easiest product to use, he
said.
All products have issues,
but it had some issues that
were problematic for some
people.
Tim McGuire, director
of campus infrastructure
services, said that because
the University will no longer
be paying the licensing fee,
students and faculty will be
responsible for paying that fee
if Symantec becomes aware
that they are still using the
product after August 1.
He also said the Symantec
product will become less
effective, as students would
be running an antivirus soft-
ware that is unable to get
updates.
Padilla said another ben-
efit of the software is that
students and faculty will have
access to the Microsoft prod-
uct even after they have left
the University.
For the campus as a
whole, we end up with a tool
that we find, in our research
anyway so far, a stronger
piece of software in terms of
being able to catch viruses
and is easier to manage for us
as an institution.

Mossad prisoner may have
revealed informant IDs
JERUSALEM (MCT)
An Israeli secret agent whose
death in Israels highest secu-
rity prison was kept secret
for nearly two years may have
inadvertently revealed details
of one of Israels most impor-
tant intelligence-gathering
networks, according to new
accounts of the case pub-
lished Monday.
Why Mossad agent Ben
Zygier, who was known
until earlier this year only as
Prisoner X, was jailed had
been a lingering mystery of
the case. Zygier spent nearly
a year in solitary confinement
so intense that not even his
jailers knew his real name
before he died, allegedly a
suicide. Israeli officials added
to the mystery by banning
journalists from reporting
on the case after Zygier was
found dead in his cell in
December 2010.
A wide variety of theories
for his imprisonment had
been floated, including that
hed sold intelligence to Iran,
was preparing to publish a
tell-all about the Mossad or
had turned double agent for
a government in the Persian
Gulf.
But the new reports sug-
gest that Zygier was a desk-
bound agent who botched a
self-initiated effort to turn a
Hezbollah operative into an
Israeli agent, instead ending
up revealing the identities of
Israeli operatives in Lebanon.
According to Fairfax
Media, Australias largest
newspaper publisher, and
Germanys Der Spiegel maga-
zine, which conducted a joint
investigation into the case,
Zygier unwittingly handed
over Israeli intelligence files
to a man he thought he was
turning into a double agent
for Israel.
Zygier, the news organiza-
tions claimed, thought that by
turning the man into a double
agent hed win the approval of
his bosses at the Mossad and
be promoted within the spy
agency. Instead, Zygier gave
away information that includ-
ed the identities of two of the
Mossads best informants in
Lebanon.
Zygier wanted to achieve

Supreme Court to hear
affirmative action case
WASHINGTON, D.C.
(MCT) The Supreme Court
will hear Michigans appeal of
a surprising ruling that struck
down its voters ban on giv-
ing preferential treatment
to students based on their
race, weighing the emotion-
ally tense issue of affirmative
action for the second time in
a year.
The Michigan measure
is nearly identical to the
California proposition that
in 1996 abolished race-based
affirmative action policies for
admission to the states col-
leges and universities.
But defenders of affirma-
tive action went to federal
court in Michigan and won
a ruling from the U.S. 6th
Circuit Court of Appeals
that held the state measure
unconstitutional on the
grounds it took away a civil
rights provision that ben-
efited minorities.
The Supreme Court jus-
tices are highly skeptical of
any use of race-based policies,
and few doubted the jus-
tices would hear Michigans
defense of its ban on race-
based affirmative action. The
only surprise was that the jus-
tices announced Monday they
would hear the appeal before
they ruled on a pending affir-
mative action case involving
the University of Texas.
In the Texas case, lawyers
for a rejected white student
urged the court to rule that
giving preferences to appli-
cants based on their race vio-
lates the Constitutions prom-
ise of equal protection of the
laws. A decision in that case,
Fisher vs. University of Texas,
is expected this spring.
Michigans voters
appeared to adopt the kind
of race-neutral admission
policies that many of the
justices favor. It told the state
universities to admit stu-
dents without regard to their
race or ethnicity.
U.S. hands Bagram prison
to Afghan government
BAGRAM, Afghanistan
(MCT) The U.S. handed
over control of the prison
at Bagram Air Field to the
Afghan government Monday,
resolving a major sticking
point that had been com-
plicating relations between
Washington and Kabul as
both countries brace for the
departure of most U.S. troops
by the end of 2014.
Assuming control of the
detention facility at the U.S.-
run air base had been a key
demand of Afghan President
Hamid Karzai, who in recent
weeks has stepped up his
anti-American rhetoric and
ratcheted up tension between
Kabul and Washington.
Earlier this month while
Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel was visiting Kabul,
Karzai accused the U.S. of
colluding with the Afghan
Taliban so that both the
U.S. and the insurgents
could maintain a presence
in Afghanistan, a remark
that infuriated officials in
Washington.
At a ceremony at the air
base, located in Parwan prov-
ince just north of Kabul, U.S.
and Afghan officials pointed
to the transfer of the deten-
tion facility to Afghan control
as a vital step in the gradual
handover of security respon-
sibility from the U.S. to the
Afghan government.
Today represents the
increase in sovereignty
of the Afghan people,
said Marine Gen. Joseph
F. Dunford Jr., the top
American commander in
Afghanistan. Its signifi-
cant because it is part of the
broader political and secu-
rity transition process.
The prison at Bagram was
the largest U.S.-run detention
facility in Afghanistan. It was
built in 2009, though U.S.
troops have held detainees at
Bagram Air Field as far back
as 2002 at a makeshift lock-
up. It was also the site of one
of the lowest points in rela-
tions between Afghanistan
and the U.S. the burning
of copies of the Koran by U.S.
troops last year, which trig-
gered several days of deadly
riots.
A year ago, Afghan and
U.S. officials had agreed
in principle to the Bagram
detention facility handover,
but both sides were unable
to resolve concerns in
Washington that the Afghan
government would release
suspected members of the
Taliban or other insurgent
groups.
U.N. officials had also
expressed concern that ced-
ing control of the detention
facility to the Afghan govern-
ment could subject detainees
to abuse. U.S. and Afghan
officials appeared ready to
announce the transfer two
weeks ago, but the ceremony

Cypriot banks to remain
closed after bailout deal
NICOSIA, Cyprus (MCT)
In a sudden turn of events,
all Cypriot banks on Monday
were ordered to remain closed
until Thursday, just hours
before banks on the eastern
Mediterranean island were to
be reopened to the public for
the first time in 10 days.
The decision, which was
announced by the central
bank, came from Finance
Minister Michael Sarris,
who ordered all banks in the
country to remain shut for
the smooth functioning of the
entire banking system.
The announcement came
hours after the bank had
said that all banks, with the
exception of the countrys two
largest lenders, the Bank of
Cyprus and Laiki, would open
on Tuesday morning.
Banks across the country
have been shut since March
16 as government officials and
international lenders wrestled
over a bailout plan to raise
badly needed funds totaling
5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion)
so that the country could qual-
ify for a 10 billion euro ($12.9
billion) bailout package.
Hours earlier in a nation-
ally televised speech,
President Nicos Anastasiades
said the central bank would
impose some restrictions on
bank transactions when they
reopen to the public.
He did not say what limita-
tions would be imposed on
transactions, but that it was
a very temporary measure
which will gradually be
relaxed.
The central bank will
apply restrictions, but this
will only be temporary until
the situation normalizes and
returns to calm, he said.
A deal securing the bailout
was reached early Monday.
The new plan foresees
losses absorbed by Cyprus
two largest banks, one of
which is to be immediately
wound down, with the hold-
ers of deposits of more than
100,000 euros ($129,900)
taxed at a still to be deter-
mined amount.

We just returned from

It is the fastest meet in
college swimming, and we
finished 12th, the highest
in 12 years with 12 girls.
We made waves, if you

TO THE EDITOR:
Today at 7 p.m., the

The lecture will take
place in Caldwell 111 and is

about the topic.
Brown-Vanhoozer is the
director of the Information

Most people dont
because it is a trade secret,
and publicly available
information on the meth-
odology is limited, if not
entirely nonexistent.
Those who want to learn
more will have to attend the
lecture, but the topic falls
under the realm of emerg-
ing developments in neuro-
technology.
Neurotechnology involves
tools and techniques for
examining behavior pat-
terns to better understand
human attitudes and inten-
tions, and it can be used for
a variety of purposes from
marketing to military and
national security.
Given the cutting-

Wrecking
ball
for the
economy
I
n an era of intense politi-
cal polarization, most of
us can agree that creating
jobs and reviving the economy
should be a top policy priority,
given that North Carolina has
the third-highest unemploy-
ment rate in the country.
The GOP leaders running
state government seem to have
missed the memo.
Instead of seeking meaning-
ful solutions, N.C. Republicans
have spent the first few months
of 2013 pursuing an unpopular
and divisive policy agenda thats
more like an economic wrecking
ball than a formula for success.
Expanding Medicaid with
Obamacare, for instance,
would save the state an esti-
mated $65 million in expenses
during the next eight years and
create 23,000 new jobs while
extending health coverage to
650,000 low-income North
Carolinians. But Gov. Pat
McCrory and the N.C. General
Assembly decided to reject the
Medicaid expansion.
And Rep. Mike Hager,
R-Burke and the House of
Representatives majority
whip, is championing a bill to
freeze the state standard man-
dating 12.5 percent renewable
energy by 2021.
Hager must not know the
renewable energy mandate is
an economic boon for the state.
It has helped create 21,000
job-years individuals fully
employed for one year and
$1.7 billion in economic ben-
efits since 2007, and it is pro-
jected to save ratepayers $173
million by 2026. According to
a recent report, North Carolina
ranked second nationally in
2012 for clean energy jobs.
Despite the states improved
fiscal situation, McCrorys
budget proposal, released
Wednesday, would continue
state disinvestment in higher
education and economic devel-
opment opportunities that are
critical for the future. It would
cut $55 million from the UNC
system, signaling quite clearly
that theres no appetite for
restoring the university system
to its pre-recession funding
levels.
The proposed budget would
also hurt rural communities
by zeroing out $65 million in
annual funding for the Golden
LEAF program and cutting $10
million from the N.C. Rural
Economic Development Center.
The GOP is also perpetuating
trickle-down economic theories
about lowering tax rates that
have been repeatedly refuted.
McCrory recently signed a bill
eliminating the earned income
tax credit, which benefits low-
income residents, while his bud-
get outline offers a handout to
the wealthy by ending the estate
tax. Apparently its only politi-
cally acceptable to raise taxes
when it hurts poor people.
Republicans have spent a
lot of time touting their efforts
to bring fracking to North
Carolina. Its a good campaign
talking point, but the states
oil and gas study estimates the
fracking industry would only
support a paltry 387 jobs.
On issue after issue, GOP
leaders are letting ideology
drive the policy agenda rather
than being bothered with
facts or evidence. The million-
dollar question is whether
Republicans running amok will
prompt voter backlash and
whether Democrats will be
ready to respond with a positive
economic vision for the state.

Help improve states
farmworker conditions
TO THE EDITOR:
In honor of National
Farmworker Awareness
Week (NFAW), I feel com-
pelled to respond to the N.C.
Farm Bureaus press release
detailing the results of their
statewide survey of the N.C.
agriculture industry.
The speakers emphasize
the importance of a workable
guest-worker program for
North Carolinas farmers.
Stressing the fact that
agriculture is the largest
industry in our state, one
speaker states that our
farmers deserve a voice in
Raleigh and in Washington.
Farmworkers, too,
deserve a voice in immigra-
tion reform that will impact
their lives. Any planned
guest-worker program
must be designed to uphold
the human rights of the
men and women who work
in North Carolinas fields.
The N.C. Farm Bureaus
survey does recognize the
inadequacy of our current
guest-worker program.
Undocumented farm-
workers do not have the
basic legal protections or
labor rights afforded to
other workers.
As a result, they face low
wages, harsh working condi-
tions, lack of adequate hous-
ing and constant vulnerabil-
ity to employer abuses.
Corporations like R.J.
Reynolds make huge profits
from the tobacco industry,
yet farmworkers regularly
suffer from human rights
abuses, such as green
tobacco sickness, from the
lack of necessary protective
gear and training.
Please come out to sup-
port Alianza at our events
this week and find out
how to help improve farm-
worker conditions in North
Carolina.

engage in discussions
about animal testing
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the recent
DTH column and letter to
the editor concerning ani-
mal testing, the Carolina
Undergraduate Bioethics
Scholars will facilitate a
discussion this Thursday at
8:00 p.m. in Dey 210.
We aim to examine the
distinction between human
and animal, and how the
presence of such a distinc-
tion affects scientific experi-
mentation, policies and
procedures.
We encourage under-
graduates of all disciplines
and backgrounds to attend
this event in the hope of
furthering the discourse
presented by Matt Leming
and Eli Hornstein, and
attempt to discern a mid-
dle ground between both
viewpoints.

A
s the Universitys
administration
continues to
evaluate the way that
sexual assault is handled
at UNC, the community
finds itself at a crucial
crossroads.
The administration has
created an online sugges-
tion box for students to
put forth their ideas about
ways to prevent sexual
assault and improve the
Universitys handling of
sexual assault. There have
also been open meetings
with the chancellor and vice
chancellor to discuss the
role of the Honor Court.
Through these actions,
Speak truth to power
EDiTOriAl
along with the hiring of
Gina Smith, an expert on
sexual assault laws, the
administration has shown
that it cares about the way
students and their cases
are treated.
Students and student
groups that get the chance
to speak with administra-
tors should keep this in
mind believing that the
administration is ultimate-
ly on their side can reduce
some perceived ill will and
facilitate discussion that
will move our campus for-
ward.
Seeing the administra-
tion as an enemy rather
than as an ally wont fix
the problem.
Of course, gathering
student input without
using it would be shameful.
The administration must
be willing to turn good
student ideas into reality.
However, it is impor-
tant for students to realize
that sexual assault is a
problem that affects every
single college campus in
the nation. The University
is not going to be able to
eradicate it on our cam-
pus, because that is simply
unfeasible. This is not to
temper expectations but to
ask students to be realistic
about the scope of abilities
of our administrations.
UNC is at the center of
a national conversation
on sexual assault, and it is
of the utmost importance
that the student body is
as creative, effective and
direct as possible. This is
a valuable opportunity to
effect change that is too
precious to waste.
Administrators and
students must talk
about sexual assault.
L
ast week, the Office
of State Budget
and Management
released Gov. Pat
McCrorys first budget
proposal. The proposal
contained drastic cuts to
the UNC system.
This proposed budget
would damage higher
education in the state and
force the system to sacrifice
the quality of education.
It hits UNC-Chapel Hill
harder than many of the
states other schools.
The budgets less-than-
enthusiastic tone on
public higher education
was set early in McCrorys
term, when he derided
liberal arts education dur-
ing a radio interview while
discussing his vision for
educational reform.
McCrory has stressed
his intentions to make
North Carolina an engine
for job creation, but if he
wishes to succeed in that
endeavor, this budget pro-
posal certainly is not the
right approach to take.
The $55 million cut
would be accompanied
by increasing out-of-state
tuition by 12.3 percent for
six universities including
UNC-Chapel Hill and
an increase of 6 percent for
out-of-state students at the
remaining schools.
This tuition hike would
cause a reduction in the
geographic diversity of
students on campus.
Moreover, increased
tuition would discourage
many talented out-of-state
students from attending
the University.
Also, non-resident
students receiving full
scholarships would be
Pat-ently wrong
EDiTOriAl
considered out-of-state
students when assessing
tuition. This would cause
scholarship foundations to
award fewer scholarships
to out-of-state students.
Diversity and talent would
suffer.
According to the bud-
get, raising tuition for
full scholarship students
across the system would
raise $8.6 million for
the state next year. But
it comes as the very real
cost of scaring off top tal-
ent and shrinking a future
alumni donor pool.
The proposed budget
would also force the con-
solidation of small and
duplicative degree pro-
grams.
This would cause pro-
grams that have been
designed for specific occu-
pations to be generalized,
resulting in new graduates
being less competitive in
their potential career fields.
Also, this proposal
could include the elimina-
tion of programs that are
found at multiple schools,
prohibiting those not
enrolled in the chosen
school from majoring in
their desired field.
Additionally, N.C.
School of Science and
Math graduates would
see a reinstatement of
the waivers that granted
them free tuition at UNC-
system schools.
These waivers were
stopped two years ago
to help ease the budget
deficit. Reinstating this
program seems odd in a
budget full of cuts.
It is unreasonable to
expect that each stu-
dent graduating from
the school is qualified
for a full tuition waiver.
Universities across the
system have a wide variety
of merit and academic
scholarships that the
schools graduates can
apply for.
The program, which
cost the state $3.1 million
in 2008-09, is inequitable
for graduating high school
students. The high schools
graduates should have the
same access to recognition
and support, just like the
other public high school
students in the state.
Though their attendance
should be taken into
account, it alone doesnt
merit a tuition waiver.
Furthermore, the
UNC-system Board of
Governors set a goal to
increase the percentage
of N.C. residents holding
a bachelors degree to at
least 32 percent cur-
rently at 26 percent by
2018. The increased
tuition and larger class
sizes that would result
from this budget do not
seem like the appropriate
strategy to reach that goal.
By making degrees less
affordable, those in the
state who struggle to pay
tuition will have an even
harder time.
Even if this six percent
increase is somehow
met, the value of each
graduates degree will sig-
nificantly deteriorate. The
decrease in the quality of
the education received by
each graduate will cer-
tainly be harmful to the
integrity of the system.
Employers will no lon-
ger view a UNC graduate
with the same respect if
the system is turned into a
degree factory.
The UNC system has
long been a bastion of
higher education. While
the economic woes of
recent years have forced
the system to make sig-
nificant cuts, it is time the
cuts stop.
McCrorys proposed
budget neglects
higher education.
