A UNC budget message - News & Observer

A stern cautionary note from state budget director Art Pope to the University of North Carolina system comes down to this: This is my second memo about the state budget. You guys must not have gotten the first one. Pope told university officials in a Feb. 28 memo that they’re asking for too much money. He noted that to satisfy the university system’s request for a budget increase of $288 million, or 11.3 percent, the state would have to make “major reductions” in other agencies. The university system is seeking the money as the legislature readies to convene this spring to adjust its two-year budget. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/03/08/4749229/a-unc-budget-message.html
