In today’s Pope Center piece NC State senior Ches McDowell asks why the General Assembly hits students with sizable tuition increases just a month before classes resume, rather than finding ways to cut the budget so those increases would not be necessary.
Heck, we all know the answer we get from the UNC establishment: the budget has already been cut to the bone and anything further would mean hurting educational quality.
I’m no fan of heavily subsidized tuition, but I’m even less a fan of unnecessary government spending, which still abounds in the UNC system.
