Abstract:
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. Under the Republican led congress and the influence of Art Pope, the groups look to be under threat from conservatives.

Abstract:
Governor Beverly Perdue has released a budget proposal which would cut the corrections budget. As a result, programs such as Harriet’s House would be eliminated. Women who are released from prison may receive help from Harriet’s House which provides women and their children with housing and other basics so the women can readjust to life outside of prison. Former inmates Mae Stephens and Jenee Williams share their stories of how Harriet’s House helped once they left prison and prevented them from relapsing. Budget details, similar programs that will be cut, and the effects of cutting programs are detailed.

Abstract:
The state will cut 400 million dollars from its budget for the fiscal year and almost half will be cut from education. Meanwhile, the highway construction package will receive zero cuts and will cost 9.2 billion dollars. Money could be shifted from the highway fund to prevent cuts in education which provide a greater return on investment than does building roads. NC legislators are unlikely to do this as lobbying is strong, but cutting education spending will likely hurt the students of NC.

Abstract:
Facing a severe budget crisis, the NC is cutting funds for mental health services which will affect approximately 900, 000 North Carolinians. According to the Mental Health Study Commission, 600 million is needed for services and those services would save the state money in the long-term. There is bi-partisan support for funding, but it is unlikely to happen with the budget crisis.
