In today’s news: Chapel Hill gets a small setback in plans for bike/ped safety measures on Estes Drive, and UNC system leaders weigh a controversial definition of “academic freedom” that advocates say might harm academic freedom rather than protect it. Also: the Chapel Hill Town Council considers a major housing development proposal on Weaver Dairy Road; Republican lawmakers go after a Northside Elementary teacher who posted an Instagram video supporting transgender students and opposing ICE; and election observers say Valerie Foushee probably has an edge on Nida Allam after 10 days of early voting – at least for now. And in sports: big wins for UNC women’s golf, women’s tennis, and baseball; a major individual honor for a Tar Heel softball star; and a deep dive into the mother/daughter coaching team that’s leading UNC gymnastics to one of its best seasons ever.
