NC A&T ordered to pay $2M for too many out-of-state students 

Can the state subtract that 2 million from the billions they already owe us from underfunding.

That’s messed up! HBCUs are already dealing with low enrollments. Many have shut down in the last few years.😢😢😢😢

That is harsh, there needs to be more flexibility. What if there aren't enough students in the state that are interested in attending the University? Should they not fulfill the admission requirement with out of state applicants.

Punished for exceeding excellence. #BAFFLING

But what if students from NC doesn't apply? What if they want to go out of state to attend school? Are they supposed to let their enrollment decrease?

Somebody needs to be fired. Who’s job is it to make sure that the school is abiding by state guidelines? 🤦🏾‍♀️

I think that rule needs to be changed as penalizing them hurts them in the long run. I understand wanting your own in state talent however HBCUs have always had an up hill climb versus your larger white established universities. Does Ohio State, USC, Michigan, or Northwestern also get penalized?? I doubt it!!

Rules are rules but they should definitely up their cap! Let them continue to boast about being the largest HBCU we want them to win! That 2 million could go towards more housing for those out of state students.

So if the NC students don't apply for the in-state schools what are you supposed to do not accept those applying from out of state just to meet some numbers. How is this helping those that want to go to the college. What is the problem if you got the money from the out of state students and didn't use the money for in-state students that didn't apply for the school.

How many other NC schools are breaking this rule? I KNOW it’s not just A&T but of course the UNC system is going to make them pay after they probably just seen the highest enrollment numbers they’ve seen. Smells racist to me

Almost Half of All HBCUs Students are from Outta State East, North & West Coast.

North Carolina is full of it. They will take from the school institutions but they want passed a law for North Carolina to stop hiring majority immigrants and out of towners for jobs. It's plenty of North Carolinians with skills and degrees that can do these jobs but we have to go out of state to earn a decent salary.

I don't care if there is a rule in place this is wrong. You have tons of from The Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Midwest regions around Chicago and as far as Texas that don't have HBCUs. Many of those kids want to attend a school of the caliber North Carolina A&T. I understand you got kids here in the state, but most time a lot of those kids don't want to stay local they want to go out of state. Just like the kids from other states that want to come here instead of staying home. I can see if it was a academic situation where the kids wasn't passing. You got people moving down here left and right from the north and Midwest coming to the south. So an error with people are struggling and universities are strapped for money, You going to punish a university that been trying to do a bunch of fundraisers and depend on alumni to donate. But then you going to take that money away from them?

I seriously doubt the "other" universities that aren't hbcu were looked at 🤔

NC A&T could have been within residency, and the student's residency expired. You have to renew your residence every two years; if you don't, they move you to non-resident status.

Vote them complain later this is what we do vote against our one interests black community

I understand this from the HBCU's perspective. These colleges/universities were started so African-Americans who weren't able to attend PWI's (publicly white institutions), were given a chance to further their education in a place where they were accepted and wanted. I hope it changes for the better in the future. Our HBCU's are very important for African American students. This is what our ancestors and family members fought for here in the U.S.

Who's responsible for keeping count??

We are under broken/ bias system...

Smdh HBCUs already have it rough, as it is. This is ridiculous. They’re receiving more from out of state tuition students, too. So why not look at it as a great thing this school is bringing this much attention.

That rule was put in to cap OOS kids from flooding Chapel Hill. However, it sucks that A&T got the shaft.

They never stop....

This is just stupid. These universities should be able to enroll who they want to. At the same time, this is the cost of being a public university.

This is some sucker ish. On all levels.

Why exceed tho? I don’t get it. Why break the rule?

This is ridiculous!!! Why would they charge them. This is bringing money in. They are being petty

So they want all the taxpayer money and the extra that they charge out of state students. Got it

I use to live in nc in Elon and basically everyone is from out of state someone needs to be fired and now I’m living in Hawaii it’s a lot of ppl from the mainland enrolling to the universities here

I call BS..they big mad cause these kids ( probably athletes) are choosing not to go to these big name universities and going elsewhere

They just want more black kids to come to their “Pwo” it’s been a problem recently for multiple HBCU bc blavk students want to be and experience what the hype is about

Wow! I’m not a racist but what about all the foreign kids that come to the US and some even receive their education for free…..

Bruh…

It's a money grab. They knew what they were doing but were hoping not to get caught.

Leave our HBCUs the hell ALONE. The African American community is the African American community. This is why we need reparations.

This is stupid. Why take that two million? It could be used to expand the school so it could be able to accept more in-state students. Poor leadership

Two million thats bullshit

A Black student is a Black student whether coming from Montana or New York. Blacks kids need to be in environment where hey can thrive and not have to deal with constant Ray cism. Shame on the North Carolina and the hooded ones dressed in whyte.

Ugh DO BETTER!! Istg i hate America school system

Reparations

....thus part of the REASON for such LARGE Enrollment numbers....but RECRUITMENT a key to increase. HBCUs in the UNC System gotta WATCH OUT for these DIFFERENT Rules. HBCUs can't risk ANYTHING these days...ijs

While rules are rules, I am extremely disappointed in our leadership for this. North Carolina is growing day-by-day and this is primarily due to students attending the universities that we have here- therefore increasing the potential for these folks to stay in North Carolina, so on and so forth. It's honestly funny how this is brought to light after the recent events that has NCAT's name behind it, but I'll just leave it at that.

To many sports scholarships

You're going to punish a school because it's popular?

What in the world that is not fair to the school and that seems to be counterproductive going away to college is a rite of passage.
