After SPIN! Video - "What will happen with Silent Sam?"
Published May 21, 2019
After SPIN! "Question to John Hood and Chris Fitzsimon – For more than a year there has been heated debate about the fate of Silent Sam on the UNC Chapel Hill campus. After it was torn down by students the university was charged with deciding what to do to comply with a state law that required it be restored. The UNC Board of Governors took charge of making that decision after they didn’t like the decision offered by Chancellor Carol Folt and the UNC Trustees. Month after month we hear that a decision has been delayed and Board of Governors chair Harry Smith announced this week that it will not be made in their May board meeting. What’s the big holdup here? Why is it so hard to come to a resolution of this issue? When might we expect a decision?"
