Hopefully, you see the dots connecting... Wed, 23 Mar 2011 UNC-system Board of Governors’ nominees lean Republican Change would cause political shift By Jessica Seaman | The Daily Tar Heel The UNC-system Board of Governors will see a shift toward Republican political leaning if the nominees for the board announced Tuesday are approved by the N.C. General Assembly. The state legislature is responsible for replacing about half of the board as the terms of 16 board members end this year. The board is the overarching policy-making body for all 17 institutions in the UNC system...

This is really not a good look for HBCUs.... Immediately after last years election they started throwing around a lot of the familiar talk about duplication of programs and even of 2 UNC-Campuses in one city blah blah.... We saw what has just happened in Louisiana....
There are proactive things we can do like contacting our representatives with names of people we think would be good members for BOG, but I doubt we could get enough people to do that in enough time to make a difference.

There is a Brave New World out there in state governments and this world is not kind to government workers, education and so-called social programs.

Regretfully we have forgotten out path For this next cycle of elections it would behoove us to recruit and support candidates for the state legislatures who would fight for issues that we see as important. Since I'm not a resident of North Carolina anymore, Aggiebred09 when are you running for office? |

I dont think Raleigh is ready for an AggieBred09. North Carolina still wants Black leadership thats ceremonial not as actual agents of change and progress. |

GOP is rising on UNC boardBY JAY PRICE AND ERIC FERRERI - Staff Writers RALEIGH -- The new Republican majority in the legislature has begun putting its stamp on the board that leads the UNC system, making it more male and - no surprise - more conservative. Among the eight board members the Senate picked Thursday, seven are men, including a Wilmington businessman who donated millions of dollars to help conservative political candidates last year, and a former Republican Department of Transportation secretary.
