Senate leader predicts larger classes, bigger workload for UNC profs

by Mark Haywood

Gov. McCrory’s budget proposal now is in the hands of the legislature, which is likely to make a variety of changes before passing a budget into law.

Randolph County Republican Senator Jerry Tillman co-chairs the education committee, and he says UNC students should get used to bigger classes, and professors should expect increased workloads.
