The proposal, titled the “Access to Affordable College Education Act,” would slash tuition to $500 per semester for in-state students at five campuses in the University of North Carolina system: Fayetteville State University, Elizabeth City State University, Winston-Salem State University, Western Carolina University and UNC-Pembroke.
