    Editorial: UNC Board -- Act like you run a $3.2 billion business, not a lemonade stand
    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.

And, in our opinion, that puts our university's reputation in peril.
