The budget will also provide funding for faculty and staff, campus improvements and more.
In a statement, Chancellor Karrie G. Dixon said, “This investment is about opportunity, impact and the future of North Carolina Central University. We are grateful to the North Carolina General Assembly for their support and committed to being good stewards of these resources as we continue bringing our Vision 230: Soaring to New Heights strategic plan to life.”
