Full-time undergraduate enrollment in the University of North Carolina System remained virtually flat from fall 2019 to fall 2020, as COVID-19 changed students’ plans and the universities’ financial situations.
Enrollment increased just .12%, the smallest increase in the past five years, according to an analysis of UNC System data by the Queens University News Service. The slowdown caused financial stress for schools and strongly affected students’ college experience.
Nationally, there was a 6.8% decline of high school graduates attending college immediately after graduating high school last fall, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, a national research organization that tracks student enrollment.

Elizabeth City protesters and the ACLU of North Carolina want curfew and permits rescinded
Some protesters who took to the streets in support of Andrew Brown Jr. were arrested for breaking curfew, now they re speaking out. Author: Angelo Vargas Updated: 11:45 PM EDT May 1, 2021
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. On Saturday, some protesters who violated an Elizabeth City curfew and were arrested are spoke out.
They say their first amendment rights were violated.
The ACLU of North Carolina is also demanding that city officials get rid of the curfew and the policy to requiring protesters sign a permit before gathering.
It’s been more than two weeks since Pasquotank County Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Andrew Brown Jr. during a search warrant.
Perched on a ladder, Ulysses “Bones” Edwards reached for another can of spray paint, adding a few deft strokes to the mural of Andrew Brown Jr that was slowly starting to take shape on the side of the house where Brown lived in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, a stone’s throw from where he was killed by law enforcement last week. A crowd of marchers passed Edwards as he worked on Thursday. Dozens also gathered over the weekend, ahead of Brown’s.
