Not possible under American law. Appeals courts can't increase the length of sentences imposed by trial-level courts.

It's part of this campus "festival on the intersection of human creativity and AI."

Even its marketing art is dystopian.

Radical ties get you suspended at #UNC Chapel Hill—unless they’re to the Confederacy, in which case they get you $2.5 million to build a shrine to a secessionist monument.

Anyone serious about looking into this should also be asking about these governing bodies' LAWYERS. Are they advising their clients that these practices are lawful? It has gone on so long that the lawyers must either be saying this is OK or turning a blind eye to protracted defiance of their advice.

I was on UNC's Faculty Executive Committee during the controversies over the Confederate statue & the university's COVID-19 response.

NEVER ONCE was ANY proposed action or policy debated in open session.

This is standard operating procedure.
