Trustees warn that North Carolina Wesleyan could close without state intervention as private schools press for more state aid to needy students. The UNC Board of Governors backs 4.6 million, private colleges seek 9.2 million, and distribution formulas differ. Guilford College trims costs to match enrollment, warning aid risks independence and quality.
