While other media outlets are focusing on massive proposed tax cuts, relatively small raises, how the Senate proposes to spend American Rescue Plan money and lots of other big-picture stuff, I'm continuing my tradition of mining the budget for its possible effect on higher ed. N.C. A&T: The Senate plan includes $46 million for renovations of three campus classroom buildings (Carver, Price and Marteena). N.C. A&T doctoral programs N.C. A&T in recent years has made a big push to expand its Ph.D. programs in engineering, computer science and other fields. The Senate plan would give A&T $3.5 million this year and another $7.5 million next year to hire faculty, set up labs and pay grad student stipends. This money is recurring, so this stands to be a permanent addition to A&T's budget. A&T now has 11 doctoral programs. Its newest, in agriculture and environmental sciences, starts this fall.
