CONSUMERS. FUNDING CUTS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ARE IMPACTING LOCAL COLLEGES. NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY’S CRITICAL COUNSELING PROGRAM IS GOING AWAY. THE COLLEGE RECOVERY COMMUNITY WAS LED BY FACULTY AND A TEAM OF STUDENT EMPLOYEES TO SHARE RESOURCES FOR PEERS STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION AND ADDICTIVE HABITS. NOW, THE PROGRAM’S DIRECTOR SAYS THE MOVE CAME AS A SHOCK AND WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT STUDENTS. WHEN WE GOT THAT NEWS, IT DEVASTATED ME BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR STUDENT WORKERS IF WE DID NOT HAVE THAT FUNDING. HOWEVER, GENERAL COUNSELING SERVICES ARE STILL BEING OFFERED. THE GOAL IS TO FIND ANOTHER SOURCE OF FUNDING TO BRING BACK THE RECOVERY PROGRAM. NEW AT NOON, A WINSTON-SALEM MAN WILL SPEND 17 TO 21 YEARS IN PRISON FOR KILLING HIS ROOMMATE FOLLOWING AN ARGUMENT. THE FORSYTH COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE SAYS TONY ROGERS PLEADED GUILTY TO SECOND DEGREE MURDER AND POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY A FELON. PROSECUTORS SAY BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2021, ROGERS SHOT 47 YEAR OLD BLAKE TAYLOR AT SUNRISE TOWERS ON MLK JUNIOR DRIVE. DETECTIVES SAY ROGERS GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH TAYLOR AND SHOT HIM. PROSECUTORS SAY ROGERS CALLED 911 AND ADMITTED TO THE SHOOTING. HE THEN TURNED THE GUN OVER TO POLICE. WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. TODAY IN LEXINGTON, A NEW EFFORT TO HEAT UP A 44 YEAR OLD COLD CASE. OFFICIALS PLAN TO UNVEIL A BILLBOARD ON HIGHWAY 64, FEATURING A $5,000 NO QUESTIONS ASKED REWARD AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF DONNA BARNHILL. SHE WAS 13 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE WENT MISSING ON MARCH 18TH OF 1981. THE Q CENTER FOR MISSING PERSONS SAYS THE BILLBOARD WILL BRING HER CASE BACK IN THE PUBLIC EYE AND HOPEFULLY BRING LEADS THAT WILL GIVE HER FAMILY SOME CLOSURE. TWO STUDENTS AT UNCG GREENSBORO HAVE HAD THEIR VISAS REVOKED. THE SCHOOL’S MEDIA RELATIONS SPECIALIST CONFIRMED. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY, AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TERMINATES VISAS FOR MANY FOREIGN STUDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SIX STUDENTS AT UNC CHAPEL HILL ALSO HAD THEIR VISAS REVOKED YESTERDAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO TWO GRAD STUDENTS AT DUKE ON MONDAY AND LAST WEEK, TWO NC STATE STUDENTS FLED THE COUNTRY WHEN% THEIR VISAS WERE CANCELED. NOW, IN MANY CASES, STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN POLITICAL ACTIVISM, SUCH AS SUPPORTING PALESTINIANS. STUDENTS SAY THEY’RE CONCERNED THIS MOVE WILL CAUSE ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. I THINK THAT IT’S SENDING A HORRIBLE MESSAGE TO PEOPLE THAT WE SHOULD INSTILL FEAR INTO PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, AREN’T LIKE US OR MAYBE WEREN’T BORN HERE. AND I THINK THAT IT’S A REALLY SCARY THING TO DO TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BECAUSE FIRST WE START WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE VISAS, AND THEN WE START WITH PERMANENT RESIDENCE. AND THEN WHAT’S TO SAY YOU CAN’T TURN ON YOUR OWN CITIZENS? UNC CHAPEL HILL SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE VISA RE
