Abstract:
Higher education legislation that did not pass the 1999 North Carolina General Assembly was of more interest than what did. Legislation authorizing sale of $3 billion in university and community college bonds could not be agreed upon. Items passed dealt with appropriations, salaries, student aid and tuition, and authorization to community colleges to establish a campus police force.
