The Board of Governors is reviewing the UNC System’s centers and institutes and many could face deep funding cuts or be dismantled altogether. Critics argue that the process is not fair since most focus on issues facing minorities, women, and the economically advantaged.

Abstract:
Vitiello examines the art gallery scene in Durham. Using Outsiders Art Gallery, owned by Pam Gutlon, as an example, Vitiello explains the difficulty galleries face financially. Outsiders grossed over $70,000 in art sales in 2012. With two-thirds going to the artists, rent and expenses took some of the remainder, leaving a profit of $334.00. In four years it was the first and only time Outsiders turned a profit. The owner is closing in 2013 and moving to Vermont. Vitiello examines other galleries, like Carrack Modern Art Gallery, Pleiades Gallery, and Craven Allen. All galleries have a different financial model, and he states that \"wisely, none is solely dependent on art sales for survival.\"
