TO THE EDITOR:
We’ve got tuition hikes and budget cuts, but UNC can still afford to shell out $105,000 for a celebrity hip-hop visit.
I pay money to be on this campus, and J. Cole gets a hundred grand for showing up for a day? Jeezus, hand me a microphone, I’ll jump on that stage myself.
I feel like people should be protesting this. I’d happily join that picket line.
The UNC system operates on a multi-billion dollar budget, and they still struggle to stay within the black.
I read about the high cost of operating a university, but what exactly are they spending all that money on? Excesses like these just make it seem like UNC’s blowing through public funds and screwing over students in the process.
