Chancellor lobbies against budget cuts - Nicky Vaught, the Technician

Chancellor Randy Woodson, in the company of many higher-education leaders, outlined the ramifications of Gov. Pat McCrory’s proposed budget during a Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday. The proposed cuts on education present many challenges, Woodson said. McCrory’s budget may cut up to $139 million from the UNC System. The Chancellor reaffirmed at the meeting that he is lobbying to fight the proposed cuts, which have yet to be approved by the General Assembly. The chancellor said he’s been lobbying for the UNC System a week before the budget was announced, and today Woodson will be at the General Assembly to advocate further. http://www.technicianonline.com/news/article_ea7f60da-9c16-11e2-bc79-0019bb30f31a.html
