"Cuts Hurt"

For those who unfamiliar with "Cuts Hurt", the joint initiative between the Association of Student Governments and all 17 of the UNC campuses, this project serves to educate students about the recent legislative cuts to the UNC system budget as well as allow students (and faculty, staff, and others concerned) to share their concerns with their campus, their student government, the N.C. General Assembly, and the U.S. Congress.  All interested are encouraged to post comments, stories and videos on the "Cuts Hurt" wall on FaceBook! The more students (and faculty) speak out about what's happening the louder our voices will be heard!
