University of North Carolina System President Peter Hans issues the following statement about the North Carolina state budget:
“This is a fantastic show of support for our people and our mission. From children’s health care to faculty and staff salaries to much-needed repair and renovation funds, this budget strengthens our work and expands our service to the state. Steady public support for higher education helped make North Carolina one of the fastest-growing states in America and made it possible to keep tuition flat for eight years in a row. This delivers tremendous value for students and families, so I’m grateful to our citizens and our elected leaders for continuing a strong tradition of public investment.”
