In UNC-Chapel Hill’s consideration to outsource its university-owned student bookstore, it has already received eight proposals, including a bid from the store’s current employees. UNC-CH has hired Campus Bookstore Consulting Corporation, a national consulting firm, to assist with the proposal process. Students, faculty and staff have begun to protest the outsourcing of UNC Student Stores, as it generated $400,000 in revenue for scholarships last year.
