Many college students pay tens of thousands of dollars to sit in ivy-covered buildings for four or more years. But online higher-education options are challenging that traditional college setting. George Leef discusses online education trends during the next edition of Carolina Journal Radio.

You?ll also hear Fox News and Washington Examiner political pundit Michael Barone?s take on the American political scene, along with Donna Arduin?s analysis of the potential negative impact of the federal stimulus legislation on North Carolina.

We?ll discuss Gov. Beverly Perdue?s first veto, with comments from the governor and Becki Gray?s expert analysis. Plus Donna Martinez and I will conduct another edition of ?Locker Room Talk,? a discussion of some of the best recent entries from this blog.
