NC State and the other 15 campuses of the University of North Carolina are facing its biggest challenge since their inception. The NC General Assembly has declared a war on education with a possible $125 million budget cut. A cut of this magnitude will have the following effect: students will see decreases in financial aid, class sizes will increase, hundreds of faculty will lose their jobs, and students will take longer to graduate. The student body has invited Chancellor Marye Anne Fox to explain what information the General Assembly has asked the University to provide and what programs will possibly be impacted. Students, faculty and staff are invited to hear Chancellor Fox and ask questions on Tuesday, May 1, in the Campus Cinema in Witherspoon Student Center at 6:00pm. Student leaders are encouraging students, faculty, staff and parents to join a “March on the Capitol.” Students, faculty, staff and parents from across the State are gathering at NC State University’s Bell Tower Wednesday, May 2 at 11:00am, and then will march down Hillsborough Street to the NC General Assembly.
