Indeed, enough is enough. And no, I am not talking about the redundancy of the letters to the North Carolina General Assembly, which you probably have noticed are on every page of this issue.

Don’t worry, I will not patronize you by using this letter from the editor as a soapbox for the importance of higher education. If you are taking the time to read Technician, I’d wager you probably care about education and are at least somewhat familiar with the Gov. Pat McCrory’s proposed $140 million budget cut to the UNC System. 

That being said, what I will do is ask you to take a minute, if you have not done so already, and read “Print this letter and drop it off at Student Media in Witherspoon.” It was not an easy decision to run these letters on every page of the print edition of the newspaper. However, if the GA’s proposed budget cut is passed, it will impact the entirety of Technician’s readership. 

For that reason, I have one last favor to ask of you. Please print out and then sign that letter, and bring it by the Student Media office, which is located on the third floor of Witherspoon Student Center. From here, Technician will send every letter it receives to the legislators out to “defund” our futures.
