Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The University of North Carolina Board of Governors voted to authorize chancellors at two public universities to move forward with more than a dozen degree program cuts. The programs to be eliminated are at UNC Asheville and UNC Greensboro. Wednesday’s vote took place after chancellors from both universities requested cuts partially because of enrollment issues. UNC Asheville may now remove four undergraduate majors and two concentrations for students pursuing language degrees. UNC Greensboro could eliminate 14 degrees within various bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate programs. Faculty at UNC Asheville expressed concern with the decision in a letter.
