This apparently came out a few days ago, but I didn’t notice until I was catching up on Facebook wall posts earlier today.
Forbes notes the 22,000+ signatures gathered by UNCASG opposing the Legislature's 8% student tax!
UNCASG‘s work on tuition and fees has gone national — earning a mention on Forbes.com!
It’s only a tiny blurb, in an entry listing 10 public universities increasing tuition in the face of state budget cuts.1
But Forbes goes on to note “a petition signed by over 22,000 people objecting to the move”…
…which just so happens to be UNCASG’s tuition petition stack 
Talk about vindication! 
- The University of North Carolina is included, courtesy of the 8% student tax the N.C. General Assembly enacted last August. [↩]
