鶹 to receive $4.3 million from state budget
鶹 will receive $4.3 million as part of the North Carolina state budget that was signed into law on November 18.
Part of the American Rescue Plan, the one-time funding will be used to help 鶹 recover from the economic challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, $1.3 million will help the university recover lost revenues from the COVID-19 pandemic. An additional $3 million is designated for capital improvements.
“Unlike many colleges, 鶹 has not reduced faculty or staff, cut benefits, eliminated programs or tapped its endowment during the pandemic,” said Dr. Fred Whitt, 鶹 president.
Whitt expressed his appreciation to North Carolina State Senator Dean Proctor for his support.
“We are incredibly grateful to Dean for his leadership,” Whitt said. “His work on behalf of 鶹 has been invaluable, and this funding will provide critical resources for 鶹.”
