Gov. Roy Cooper lets UNC omnibus bill become law without his signature

Gov. Roy Cooper let an omnibus bill dealing with University of North Carolina System campuses become law without his signature Thursday.

N.C. Senate Bill 195 made a series of changes to policies governing the state’s universities — none exceptionally controversial. The bill, originally filed in March by N.C. Sen. Amy Galey (R-Alamance) had several prominent Democratic sponsors, including Sen. Gladys Robinson (D-Guilford) and Sen. Jay Chaudhuri (D-Wake). It passed 110-3 in the Senate and 39-0 in the House.
