<p>Article in the NC State Technician dated April 3, 2013...Under a 5 yr plan NC Governor proposes cutting budget and increasing tuition: </p>
<p>The Budget
Woodson said under McCrorys plan the University would lose $43 million in the first year and $30.6 million on a non-recurring basis.
The governor proposed an additional tuition increase, a 12.3 percent increase for out-of-state students. McCrorys proposed tuition raise exceeds that the Board of Governors has approved.</p>

<p>2013-2014 tuition fees already reflect the most recent hike approved in fall 2012. If approved this proposal would be compounded using the 2013-2014 tuition fees.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that UNC-CH shows up at the top of comparisons of state funding per student among all of the US public universities. It sounds like the NC Governor just wants to do what most states did 5 years ago.</p>
<p>True. If the Governor has his way though the NC Schools will likely have one less selling point ie:Best Value Rank.</p>
<p>I have to say that I am impressed by NC States’ Chancellor showing his passion and support against such a hefty hit to University funding.</p>
<p>Although I guess one would presume that the cuts will be offset by the increased OOS tuition.</p>
<p>Another thought…at least there is no question where NC State is spending its’ money. Committed faculty, nicely maintained campus, updated dorms & dining halls, State of the Art engineering facilities, one of the coolest libraries in the country and completely overhauled Talley Student center set to reopen 2014. Compared to most other schools, NC State is still a great value…for now.</p>
