Abstract:

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill police officer Keith Edwards is taking legal action against the university alleging she was passed over for a promotion due to her race and sex. Edwards was the first black female officer hired by the university. Her case has caused the university to review its procedures and reshuffle its organization to encourage responsiveness to racial issues. Even if Edwards does not win her case, she says she will be proud of the change she has prompted by speaking out against inequality.

Abstract:

The community of Chapel Hill is changing as it develops and becomes a more desirable place to live. As a result, the cost-of-living is making the town unaffordable for its traditional residents and the town’s ideology is being challenged by its newer residents. Additional problems facing the town are increasing crime, homelessness, and taxes.
