North Carolina's new law blocking protection rules for LGBT people is beginning to have an impact on college campuses. UNC Chapel Hill is worried about the effect the law may have on donations.
The head of North Carolina's flagship public university says the law known as HB2 is threatening the flow of private-sector money as donors and businesses are considering whether they want to continue providing funding.
Campus Chancellor Carol Folt made the comment in a letter to students and faculty addressing the university's compliance with the law.
Folt says current and prospective donors are signaling they may reconsider their gifts since the law was adopted two weeks ago. Folt says HB2 also is jeopardizing grants and relationships with businesses.
Meanwhile, the chancellor of Appalachian State University was planning on meeting Monday with campus protesters, who were occupying the lobby of the school's administration building. The students want Chancellor Sheri Everts to denounce the new law.
College campuses across the state have seen protests against HB2.
