In today’s news: the Pittsboro town board votes to cancel its contract with Flock Safety for license-plate reader cameras, which have drawn widespread concerns over privacy violations. Also: Orange County residents call for higher funding for local schools and libraries, even at the expense of higher taxes; officials identify the victim in this week’s fatal house fire in Chapel Hill; UNC’s School of Civic Life and Leadership is slated to become an independent academic unit; and UNC chooses a master plan designer for the first phase of development at the Carolina North campus (minus a basketball arena, so far).
And in sports: UNC women’s lacrosse aims for the Final Four; Carolina men’s basketball lands a new recruit; Tar Heel women’s golf moves on to the NCAA championships; UNC baseball gears up for NC State; and a Tar Heel tennis star wins a big academic honor, for the second year in a row.
