Scott Declares Education Board Not Political
RALEIGH AP Gov. Bob Scott said as chairman of the North Carolina Board of Higher Education the board should act on the educational needs of the state, not politics. He defended enlarging the board and outlined how reserve funds and a $4 million library grant would be distributed among institutions and how seven new staff positions would be allocated, with seven days for appeal. The board, now 22 members with the governor and six legislators, begins dividing up nearly $7 million.
