UNC School of the Arts is the latest school attempting to take advantage of a new tuition policy that allows them to increase tuition well beyond the system’s mandated cap.

His colleagues agree that Estes Tarver deserves a standing ovation. While staging his acting career amidst greats like Oscar-winner Colin Firth and writing quirkily murderous characters, Tarver still manages to participate in local theater.

Although seeing students rolling on their skateboards to get to class is not uncommon at UNC, other universities in the state have banned the practice.

But UNC School of the Arts student leaders are fighting back. Student Body President Daryl Wade is compiling a survey of different policies related to skateboarding at UNC-system schools in an attempt to reverse that ban.

At UNCSA, if a student is seen with a skateboard, it is taken away, Wade said.

“They tell the students that the reason for their policy is because it endangers their art,” he said.
