After SPIN! 09/14/14 - "Art Pope UNC System Funding comments"

Published September 17, 2014

After Spin for 09/14/14 - Question to Howard Lee: The UNC Board of Governors recently held a retreat and outgoing budget director Art Pope reported that the system is in a healthy financial position, with $2.6 billion in state funding, ranking fifth highest in the nation and first among he top 10 most populous states. But Pope urged the Governors to exercise more oversight over federal funding, the overhead receipts connected to research grants. This has long been a focus by our legislature with some believing the state should get the overhead receipts since we are already funding operations. What’s your reaction to Pope’s comments?
