Starting in the fall of 2015, Davidson College will require students in the class of 2018 and after to buy campus meal plans – at cost of nearly $2,400 a year. Details are still in the works, but the change already is bringing widespread criticism from students.
In particular, members of Patterson Court Committee (PCC) organizations – the school’s fraternities, sororities and eating houses – which typically provide meals for their members as part of their membership fee, say the change will hurt their membership, by forcing those who wish to join to purchase a meal plan from the school in addition to the organization’s meal plan.

U.S. Robert Pittenger (R-9th District) says he knows exactly where the logjam is in Congress: Hundreds of bills are stalled on the desk of Senate majority leader Harry Reid. In a forum at Cornelius Town hall Thursday night, Pittenger blamed the Democratic Senate leader for delaying reform in banking regulations and health care policy.
The forum was one of six “town hall” style meetings Pittenger is holding in the 9th district this summer, which includes most of Iredell and Mecklenburg counties. The congressman, who is concluding his first term, will run unopposed this fall. Read the full story
