Out-of-state undergrads would pay an increase of about $1,223 for a total of $24,736.42....  Now, some campus leaders say the increase, which is moderate when compared to UNC-CH's peers in other states, won't produce enough revenue to compete with those same institutions for the best faculty.  Click here to read more.
