Carolina Housing, RHA Allegedly Violate First Amendment

The Carolina Review has uncovered a series of policies and guidelines by UNC’s Residence Hall Association, the body tasked with organizing social and educational events in dormitories across campus. This is allegedly a direct violation of student’s First Amendment rights. The RHA, unlike other student organizations, receives direct funding from the university through mandatory student housing fees and other funds derived from contracts between Carolina Housing and private vendors. Additionally, Carolina Housing employees work directly with the organization.
