As an employee at a school in the UNC system, Chapel Hill is just one school in the entire UNC system. It’s UNC-CH you lazy freaking reporters. There are 16 others and as much as Chapel Hill likes to think they’re special, they aren’t.
So no UNC did not divert $2.3M, Chapel Hill did.
Is that not the biggest campus? Like their flagship location?
I wouldn’t think that matters. I think it only matters if the school has their own ability to change where they allocate budgets and not the system as a whole directing it.
Nope. That’s NC State. Well biggest anyway, not sure what you mean be flagship. UNC-CH just likes to think they’re the only one that matters.
Sorry, it’s just a pet peeve of mine. Had three of my boys go to UNC schools and none of them were in Chapel Hill.
It’s not like you can say you went to UC and everyone assumes it’s Davis or Berkeley.
Do you actually work there?

The University of North Carolina is the publicuniversity system for the state of North Carolina. Overseeing the state's 16 public universities and the NC School of Science and Mathematics, it is commonly referred to as the UNC System to differentiate it from its flagship, UNC-Chapel Hill.
I didn’t know even read that before I called it the flagship. It’s just universally known
I do work for a university in the system (24 years) and graduated from the same university so I have been with this school for over 35 years. Notice in the wiki article it says University of North Carolina is the entire system, not just the one school. Chapel Hill likes to think they’re an elite private school like Duke, their main sports rival. They’re a state school like the rest of us. But they are the oldest and most recognizable mainly due to their sports program.
