Good morning, Tar Heels! It's Monday, September 15, and here's what's happening at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. UNC-Chapel Hill has been ranked the No. 5 public university in the nation for the 23rd consecutive year by U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, Carolina has been recognized as the No. 1 best value among public universities for the 20th time. In response to reduced state and federal funding, the university has announced a tentative cost-cutting plan aiming to save approximately $70 million. This includes a $39 million reduction in nonresident financial aid and a 10% cut from centers and institutes. Chancellor Lee Roberts emphasized the importance of community input in these decisions. The university is also enhancing its emergency response plan. A preparedness festival was held to update the campus community on improvements, including online training guides for faculty and teaching assistants, and plans to add more cameras and door locks to campus facilities. In athletics, new head football coach Bill Belichick has named Gio Lopez as the starting quarterback for the Tar Heels. Lopez, a redshirt sophomore transfer from South Alabama, impressed during the preseason and is set to lead the team in the upcoming season opener against TCU. UNC-Chapel Hill is collaborating with 22 counties across North Carolina through the "Our State, Our Homes" program. This initiative aims to improve access to affordable housing by providing communities with tools and resources to address local housing challenges. In a significant partnership, Duke Health and UNC Health have unveiled plans to build North Carolina's first freestanding children's hospital. The project will receive an initial investment of $320 million from the state and aims to enhance pediatric care across the region. That's all for today's update. Stay safe, and as always, Go Heels!
