Their stupid vision is what allowed a non UNC system medical program in Charlotte.

You are correct.
Atrium would have done that same deal with UNC gladly Iām sure.
The fact our state university did not add another medical school in the system considering the massive population growth in the state is a dereliction of duty.
The university system is supposed to serve NC not the the other way around.
And Iām just gonna go ahead and assume that the Charlotte metro produces a big chunk of state revenue.

UNC Charlotte will gain a prestigious new status in 2025 when it officially becomes an āR1ā university. That designation is reserved for schools with the highest level of research investment and activity and currently applies to only 146 of the countryās nearly 4,000 universities.

Charlotte was one of two top 25 cities without an R1 school. (Portland)
-
Other R1s in NC are Duke, State, and CHeat.

Speaking of chancellors, see that Randy Woodson of NC State is retiring effective June 30, 2025.
Will be interesting to see their replacement since now the BOG has control vs their own BoT.
While the Poe Hall debacle may be pushing Woodson out earlier than expected, thereās no denying heās been one of the Wolfpackās biggest cheerleaders during his tenure at NCSU. Listened to him many a time during Wolfpack Radio pregame shows.
And seems the Poe Hall fiasco a cause for concern in UCity:
