H56 would appropriate $46,375,508 to the University of North Carolina for each year of the FY 2025-2027 biennium to address growth in student enrollment.
The Senate passed H56 on September 22, 2025, by a vote of 48 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the ayes because education is not the role of government. The University of North Carolina can and should be, at the very least, privatized, without the need to rely on state appropriations that steal from taxpayers and drain the treasury. Public colleges and universities are nothing but government colleges and universities. Neither academic nor financial freedom can be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all that now entails a failing, government-run K-12-and-beyond education system.
