Students to protest UNC system budget cuts, suggestions of closing public university campuses - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pete Brunstetter of Forsyth County says potential consolidation will get a hard look by lawmakers. http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/ba9c35304e2d450087cac81e0d631f2a/NC--UNC-System
