Personally, I hate this gotcha journalism and can only say in my experience of almost 30 years at the university, when DEI became toxic (I wasnāt a fan to begin with for a variety of reasons), one person claiming itās all being done covertly is BS, not evident in any actions or activities associated with the university or its administration in my experience. I canāt speak for the university anymore than this one individual, so my opinion is as meaninglessā¦but this so-called journalist (Iāve never heard of the group) trying to claim that Charlotte is covertly trying to defy the system is, in my opinion and experience, simply absurd and not true.

Seems the overwhelmingly number of times weāre in the news, itās because of something negative. And Iām sick of it.

Heard freshman are now required to live on campus. Iām assuming itās a business decision to fill the dorms which makes sense from a school perspective. Thereās a ton of apartments around the school.

Itās an academic decision. Has created a housing nightmare.
Sure. Itās a money decision. 
More demand but not more available inventory?
I had gotten a request for some work at one of the off campus apartments near campus last year and the property manager there told me the university would be taking over the housing this year. Iām curious if that was actually truthful and if thatās the plan to increase housing for students.
I hope so because it would also improve the area. Those apartments may be geared towards students but they donāt offer them exclusively to students.
Since those from Mecklenburg and surrounding NC counties are exempt, gotta wonder how many weāre actually talking about.

I am really seeing the signs of the wake county presence attending CLT. Lots of kids from our local high school starting freshman this fall and.tons of green CLT shirts at the gym this summer from those already there.

clt says lots of them take the train from the triangle and triad
The foundation purchased the edge. Leaving it as is for a few years from what I understand. Will eventually be gifted to the university. This was yet another needed bypass of the UNC decision makers. It is contiguous to main campus. Great move. May end up post baccalaureate housing.

The one I gave some pricing quotes to was the one at the intersection of east mallard creek and 49. I forget the name.
