But, there is no reason for there to be any conflict. Everyone wants this university to be the best it can be. The students, faculty and lawmakers can all attest to that. So, we must remember that the legislature is not there to do battle with the University and the University is not there to steal the state's money. If we focus on the heart of the matter, educating the students of UNC, the conflicts will be lost in the compromises.
All compromise starts with communication, and better communication can start today.
Students must speak their needs and ideas. The lawmakers must voice their concerns, while listening attentively to the students. Together, they just might get something done.
