SUMMARY: A Wake Forest woman, Elizabeth Allen, has been charged with removing legally placed Donald Trump campaign signs at two intersections. The arrest warrant states that the signs were in authorized locations, and damaging or stealing political signs is classified as a misdemeanor. This incident follows another case where a man was filmed destroying political signs at an early voting site, confronted by voters as he shouted and ripped up several signs for a candidate named Harris Walls.

Multiple people face charges for damaging or stealing Donald Trump campaign signs days after a man was caught on video destroying Kamala Harris signs at an early voting site in Raleigh.

Elizabeth Allen, 61, of Wake Forest, was charged Friday with removing with Trump campaign signs. She took political signs from two different Wake Forest intersections, including Rogers Road at South Main Street and Highway 98 at South Main Street, according to an arrest warrant.

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.
