NC A&T Fined

[Southpaw]

North Carolina A&T State University is being reprimanded for enrolling too many out-of-state first-year students in the last two years, WFMY reported.

The UNC System Board of Governors had set N.C. A&T’s enrollment cap at 35%. However, in 2021, N.C. A&T had 41% of students, enrolled from out-of-state, according to the system.
As a result, the school has been fined and must forfeit nearly $2 million of its budget, per the UNC System’s Nov. 17 decision, with the system recommending that the money go to the board's UNC Need-Based Grant Financial Program.
"Fundamentally speaking, we have campuses and in time, environments that are struggling with enrollment, and here we have one of our HMSI's (historically minority-serving institution) that is experiencing historical seasonal growth. Fundamentally, I cannot support a policy that’s going to take $2 million away from a university when in reality they can use every dime they can get to continue that mission,“ said Joel Ford, a board

I won't. That is some racist bullshit. They are being fined for succeeding. Systemic racism in action.

Normally I'd agree but here's the facts...

• UNC has been fined for this before
• The state raised the out-of-state 1st year student cap just for NC HBCUs to 25% in 2021
• A&T knew they'd exceed the 25% cap in 2022 so they petitioned the state who then increased the cap again just for A&T and NCCU to 35%
• PWIs can only have 18% out-of-state 1st yr students

Didn't know there was a cap. Is this a North Carolina thing?

I hear you. But that seems like a regressive tax to me, given the discrepancies in funding. I recognize that I am biased here. Fuck them anyway.
