The Appeals Court found that the Wisconsin fees failed all three prongs of the Lehnert test. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the issue of mandatory student fees and whether their collection and expenditure violate students' First-Amendment rights. Should the Supreme Court decide, like the Court of Appeals, in favor of the students, it would change how universities collect and disburse mandatory student-activities fees. Two weeks ago Clarion Call wrote that searches for chancellors and system presidents in the UNC system has been done behind closed doors since the 1990 selection of Larry K. Monteith as chancellor of N.C. State. UNC board member Jim Holshouser reminded CC that the selection of chancellors has been secret since before then.
CC regrets the error.
