Abstract:
Remarking on two national studies, the Kerner Commission and the Urban Coalition report, the author compares these national findings with discriminatory actions visible within the state's education system. Mr. Hill tracks the genesis of these social problems between American citizens with lack of education, especially higher education, for minorities. Lack of higher education amongst minorities often begins with lower incomes, lack of available federal loans, and almost no financial aid at the time.

Abstract:
A recent report came to this conclusion about higher education. It concerned the status higher education had achieved, as measured by the business world’s standards: a mature enterprise. This type of business is measured by three criteria, which the author suggested has become increasingly true about higher education: reluctant to take risks; self-promoting; and expensive.

Abstract:
Economic and occupational growth in the Tarheel State, partly because of sectors such as banking and higher education, has fed what Hood called North Carolina Exceptionalism. What may be less obvious to those on both side of the political spectrum is the role that the Republican and Democrat parties have played in the growth of such sectors, whether for credit or blame.

Abstract:
What a Greenville business executive could contribute more to the UNC system’s Board of Governors and the UNC System’s 17 universities is his value of efficiency. How he has displayed efficiency is through supporting the consolidation of state controlled ECU Physicians Group and Vidant Medical Group. How he can display efficiency is through the passage of two initiatives. One is moving consolidating the UNC system’s offices into one building. Another is the UNC system handling the financial parts of all system campuses instead of each campus operating independently. It is through such initiatives that Harry Smith’s hope of better controlling UNC system tuition and fees may be realized.

Abstract:
How the UNC system passes the test is seemingly simple: graduate more students from rural parts of North Carolina and low income households; graduate more students within five years. What makes the test not so simple to pass is issues not so easily measured in rates or statistics. Those highlighted included the pressure on unprepared students to attend a university; post high school alternatives under-promoted because of the attention placed on university attendance.

Abstract:
Universities across North Carolina have an eclectic approach when it comes to their degree programs. Recognizing the collective student body’s transformation in the past few decades, universities such as NC State and High Point University are trying to better meet their students’ needs. Examples include NC State’s MBA collaboratories, or half day workshops involving field experts and senior leaders, and High Point’s MBA courses, which are typically twenty minute lecture, two hour and forty minute group discussion and interaction.
