This âculinary universityâ Johnson & Wales will have how many students? Maybe a 100 or 200? For $10M, thatâs a $50k subsidy from the state per student. Wow! What a complete boondoggle! That tops the TPC golf course that NC State wanted at their âgraduateâ center.
Hereâs a culinary university for you-> Go work in a kitchen at a resturant -> Iâm sure theyâd be happy to train you given the turnover.
PS: I know their web site says 2,000 students-> But how many FTSâs? Yeah, bored housewives taking a cooking class does not make a college.
[QUOTE=jfickett;323453]no, but they published the story, so they are automatically at fault for us getting lower funding.[/QUOTE] I hope you donât support their degrading attacks on us. We would be in much better shape if they spent as much time worrying about our funding as they do trying to tell the public weâre not worthy.
âHouse budget writers said they based university funding on average growth over the past several yearsâ
This quote just bugs the crap out of me. Charlotte is the fastest growing university in the state, and they think that that means less money for the university? Even the article stated that we are adding 750+ more students this fall, with more probably to come. I just donât understand how the House justifies their appropriations when they said the growth of the university justifies the amount given.
This news is brutally honest. Chancellor Dubois aka CHP is a terrible leader.
Donât you think CHP has a major role in getting funding for our University.
Oh yes, he has a major role. Iâm getting sick thinking about this news. I know
Woodward didnât strike gold every legislative session, but it looks like CHP
struck quicksand. You think we get football now, since academics just took
a large hit. Hmmmm.

you won't convince him how wicked pieces of the Observer are

i canât and wonât defend dubois on almost anything else, but on this it really isnât his fault. i know he personally reached out to members and got the charlotte chamber and delegation involved. in fact, it was considered a top priority for the charlotte chamber. its just a tight budget year. my understanding is that the formula staff used to determine how much of an increase we got was used on all the rest of the universities who are experiencing enrollment growth and requesting more funds. the $5 million capital request still has a shot in the senate, but again funds are tight and weâre competing against 15 other public universities (not including johnson & wales) asking for large projects.
Itâs not that weâre one of the other Universities, Press. The Charlotte administration was in tight with Jim Black and while thatâs not totally a bad thing it might have something to do with how the funding is going this year. We donât have a strong ally and others are shying away at this time.
Still⌠Charlotte needs the money and some of the Mecklenburg and surrounding counties legislators need to address it before itâs too late.
I hope you don't support their degrading attacks on us. We would be in much better shape if they spent as much time worrying about our funding as they do trying to tell the public we're not worthy.
i was being sarcastic.
So are you saying Washburn's editorial was investigative, informative, unbiased and accurate?
is that what it looks like i said? nope, thats not what iâm saying at all. washburn had no business writing the editorial that he did, being that it is not his area of expertise, nor did he properly research and analyze in his commentary. i was merely making a funny.
you won't convince him how wicked pieces of the Observer are
i havent been around long enough to understand or have a valid point yet. take everything i say with a grain of salt, or choose to ignore it. you can start to take my posts seriously in 3-5 years.

You criticized people for being critical of the Observer because they didnât think it was investigative, informative, unbiased and accurate. You criticized people for thinking the same thing you were thinking.

longevity as a Niner does not equat to valid pointsâŚthere are several long time posters who are clueless
have valid points at any time, and you will validate yourselfâŚbut your nippy comments about how much you think you know make you look in love with yourself

When is the Senate debate? We need to all ask off for that day, & ride up to Raleigh, & sit in the chambers. Maybe even one of us who is an eloquent speaker could ask their state senator to let them speak. Is anyone hear good at speaking to a crowd?

before you make the trip to raleigh, call the charlotte delegation (clodfelter, graham, hoyle, bingham - forget goodall leadership wonât do anything for him) and basnight. push for the large capital project. the increase in per student funding is a reach this late in the process. they wonât increase it for one and not all of the others who are experiencing growth - so donât waste your time or theirs. ask for the $5 mil for the engineering program and call it an âinvestment.â thatâs the buzz word this year. see what they tell you and if they say they are trying but they donât think it will happen, ask them what they think we should do.

clt says the biggest issue is that we need niners in nc government. picture this: you ( a niner) are a nc rep from Wilmington and they are voting on a bill that would give 50m to charlotte and ncsu for engineering. while it prob isnt best for Wilmington and your constituents, you would be ok bc it is helping your alma mater.
this is how the blue fairys get so much taxpayer money. we need to play the game rather than bitching about it.

criticizing washburn is not the same as criticizing persinger. just like criticizing persinger is not the same as criticizing Jim Utter. or utter and persinger or utter and washburn or sorensen. my criticism was of washburn in my post which replied to yours. and i dont believe that persinger had the final say on whether or not washburnâs article was published, correct me if iâm wrong but i dont think it was in the sports section. yes, i know, persinger is the devil for a billion other reasons, dont tell me.
