SUMMARY: The UNC Board of Trustees met amid uncertainty over $70 million budget cuts due to reduced state and federal research funding. The university plans to cut spending on catering, procurement, and consolidate positions, leading to administrative staff reductions and elimination of vacant roles. A faculty retirement incentive program will be introduced. Financial aid for out-of-state students will be reduced from 44% to 18%, prioritizing North Carolina residents for enrollment. Chancellor Roberts emphasized these difficult decisions are necessary amid fiscal uncertainty and layoffs would be a last resort, with efforts focused on transparency and managing anxieties among university staff and students.
