Sound the alarm — Historically Black Colleges and Universities are under attack in North Carolina.
The North Carolina State Senate has introduced a bill that could bankrupt five of the state’s universities.
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Western Carolina University, Elizabeth City State University, Winston-Salem State University, and Fayetteville State University could be impacted adversely by Senate Bill 873.
The last three of these are Historically Black Universities.
The “Access to Affordable College Education Act” proposes to change the names of those schools and cut the tuition down to $500 per semester. Though that may sound inviting, cutting the tuition that low will cause the state to lose millions in revenue and will most likely force those universities to cut major programs.
