For months, administration at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has intimated the public college will need to scrap academic programs to stave off financial turmoil. The institution faces stiff competition with some other, and often better known, University of North Carolina System campuses, UNCG Chancellor Franklin Gilliam said during his State of the Campus address in October. The intense market competition and recent enrollment declines at the university means it must reevaluate its academic array, Gilliam said during that speech. But some faculty members aren’t convinced the university needs to cut back. They’ve spoken out against how UNCG is evaluating which programs it should preserve.
