Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022 -- Coming up with ways to make those who lead the UNC System and its campuses more representative of the state and its needs is an important and timely mission. Rather than seeing it as a threat to legislative leaders' power, Sen. Phil Berger and others should embrace Gov. Roy Cooper's proposal. It will work to help assure North Carolina can maintain a top-notch system of public higher education.

North Carolina may be closer to redistricting reform than some voters realize.

THEY DISAPPROVE OF THE PRESIDENT'S HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY IN THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL. >> THE FORMER LAWMAKERS AND POLITICAL EXPERTS CONVENE AT DUKE UNIVERSITY TODAY TO TALK ABOUT DRAWING ELECTION MAPS. A PROCESS KNOWN AS REDISTRICTING. DAVID SPOKE WITH BELINDA FAX, PAUL, ABOUT SOME OF THE BIG HIGHLIGHTS. >> SPEAKERS TODAY INCLUDED BIG- TIME CONSERVATIVE DONOR HEART POPE AND FOREIGN PRESIDENT TOM ROSS. PAUL, A LOT OF ACTIVITY AND A LOT OF IDEAS ON REDISTRICTING. WHY DID THEY THINK IT NEEDS REFORM? >> NORTH CAROLINA, LIKE MANY STATES, GIVES CONTROL OF REDRAWING ELECTION MAPS TO THE LEGISLATURE. SO, WHAT THAT MEANS IS EVERY 10 YEARS, WHEN THE TIME COMES TO REDISTRICT, WITH ALL THESE NEW MAPS, THE PARTY IN CONTROL OF THE STATEHOUSE AND STATE SENATE STATE SENATE CAN SORT OF REDRAW THINGS TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. WE SAW THAT WHEN DEMOCRATS WERE IN CONTROL FOR ABOUT A CENTURY. AND THEN WE SAW THAT WHEN REPUBLICANS GAINED CONTROL AROUND 2011 AND HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO COURT MULTIPLE TIMES. SO, EXPERTS AND CRITICS BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE FAIRWAYS TO DO IT THAN THE SYSTEM WE CURRENTLY HAVE. >> YOU HAVE UNCOVERED POLITICS FOR A LONG TIME. THIS IS AN HONORABLE ENDEAVOR. YET, MANY OF US JUST CAN'T SEE REPUBLICANS OR WHOEVER IS IN POWER BEING WILLING TO GIVE UP THAT ABSOLUTE CONTROL. YET, THESE MEN SAY THEY ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THAT. IS THAT REAL? >> LIKE YOU, I WAS SURPRISED. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR POPE AND ROSS SAY THAT THEY WERE ENCOURAGED BY CONVERSATIONS THEY HAD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE ON BOARD WITH THE IDEA ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. NOW, THAT WOULD GO IN THE FORM OF A REFERENDUM WITH VOTERS. THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT WITH STATE LEGISLATURES BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT AND WERE REALLY ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THEY'RE GETTING AND WE FELT SOME MOMENTUM.

Art Pope

Wednesday, March 20, 2019 -- The obsessive micromanagement of the campuses leaves the UNC System leaderless. Individual institutions are in constant confusion. Unless this ends, the system is in jeopardy of being unable to attract the best administrators, brightest researchers and most inspiring teachers while serving our state's aspiring young minds.  It all diminishes UNC's reputation.

March 17, 2019 -- Republican lawmakers have named conservatives of their own party to the Board of Governors and changed the governance rules to diminish any appointive authority in the governor's office.  This type of action risks turning the Board of Governor's into a purely political organization doing the bidding of our legislative leaders.  And, in our opinion, that puts our university's reputation in peril.
