CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) — New rules regarding protests are coming to the University of North Carolina System. The policy, approved by the UNC Board of Governors Thursday, establishes minimum requirements all campuses in the system must follow. The chair of the Board of Governors said it’s in an effort to prevent protests from getting out of hand.

The new tuition rates include N.C. State, UNC-Chapel Hill and East Carolina University. N.C. Central in Durham did not request any change to its base tuition rate, which doesn't include fees or additional costs for specific schools within the universities.
