Bogeys, No Birdies
Bogey: By James Moeser, the chancellor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for dispatching his personal lobbyist to go behind his boss’ back — President Molly Broad — to cut a deal with the N.C. Senate’s Speaker Pro Tem Marc Basnight that gives Chapel Hill the authority to increase its tuition. Moeser’s naked power grab shakes the entire university system to its foundation. With friends like Moeser, Broad doesn’t need any enemies.
Bogey: By Broad, for allowing the system’s 16 member institutions to employ lobbyists in the first place. The whole idea of a consolidated university system is to maintain central control over North Carolina’s publicly funded post-secondary schools. Letting individual university executives free-lance with the legislature is a recipe for disaster and gives the impression that Broad has left the kids to run the candy store. |
