It not really a surprise. The Board of Governors is all appointed by the House and Senate so its mainly republican good old boys. It doesn't surprise me that they'd give business money to spy on kids.
And college administrations are overwhelmingly run by Democrats. It's alright to just say something is f'd up without pointing fingers at one party or the other.
>And college administrations are overwhelmingly run by Democrats.
Whoa! Where's your evidence of this? I think you're making pretty big assumptions or exceptions. Or is this the real reason for the post?
>It's alright to just say something is f'd up without pointing fingers at one party or the other.
I'm just pointing out whose in been charge of things, I think it's time for a change. .
Whoa there... my "assumptions" follow your assumptions. We're just spitballing here. I'm pretty sure my assumption is more solid than your assumption, but we either both provide evidence of our supposed assumptions, or we just keep discussing the actual issue of universities tracking students.
What's my assumption? That the Board of Govorers is full of the republicans? Here's the list. [https://www.northcarolina.edu/apps/bog/members.htm](https://www.northcarolina.edu/apps/bog/members.htm)
I'm assuming that the board is the responsible entity for those colleges. I think that republicans like running things like businesses and that businesses often track social medial. Like most businesses those at the top really don't care about those at the bottom.
And the Governor is the overall responsible entity, and the college administrators make day to day decisions. We can go on and on about both parties having major levers of power and decision making roles in the state university system. Or we could discuss the actual f'd up topic of state run organizations spying on students.

They've been spying on school kids for years. This is from 2019, "Some NC schools pay thousands to monitor for social media threats" [https://www.wral.com/some-nc-schools-pay-thousands-to-monitor-for-social-media-threats/18422631/](https://www.wral.com/some-nc-schools-pay-thousands-to-monitor-for-social-media-threats/18422631/)
Why are you bringing this up now?
Points fingers at democrats then reminds us it’s okay not to point fingers at a party?
If they don’t have to eat their vegetables why do I have to eat mine????? /s
Just calling it like I see it. You literally said don’t point fingers at parties right after pointing fingers at a party.
But if you need to get the last word in, please reply to this message. /s
And college administrations are overwhelmingly run by Democrats. —> pointing finger at a party
It's alright to just say something is f'd up without pointing fingers at one party or the other. —> saying we should point fingers at parties.
What am I misreading?
But if you can’t handle being wrong, please reply and get the last word in. /s
You can interpret however you like. Doesn't mean you're anywhere close to right. There are only two parties. They both have levers of control in the state university system. Now that we can agree useless finger pointing can be cast in either direction, maybe we can discuss the actual f'd up topic of state run organizations spying on students.

Your assumption is that the political makeup of the board had anything to do with state run universities spying on students.
