UNC Board of Trustees meet amid uncertain budget concerns
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.

An expansive NC elections bill has voters worried about privacy and identity theft
SUMMARY: North Carolina House Republicans propose a new elections bill requiring full Social Security numbers on voter registration forms and DMV sharing licensed drivers’ SSNs with the Board of Elections, sparking privacy and security concerns. Critics, including Rep. Pricey Harrison and voting rights advocates, warn it violates federal privacy laws and risks voter data breaches, while supporters argue it enhances voter identification and reduces duplicates. The bill also mandates photo ID for military and overseas voters, limits local voting rights for certain non-residents, bans ranked-choice voting, and modifies ballot counting timelines. Democracy Out Loud and others strongly oppose the bill, calling it harmful to voter rights.
