The University of North Carolina has been much in the news lately, and not for reasons Tar Heels should feel good about. In today’s Pope Center Clarion Call, Arch Allen, a distinguished alum who earned both his bachelor’s and law degrees at Chapel Hill, calls upon his fellow alums to get active over the report we issued last year showing how weak the general education requirements have become. He is particularly bothered by the fact that the head of the alumni association is content to have it simply be a lapdog for the university administration.
