H. Martin Lancaster, President
North Carolina Community College System
November 7, 2000
"This fantastic result was possible only because of the unified campaign waged by the many friends of higher education. Our Community College Presidents and the Chancellors and top leaders of the University of North Carolina; their faculties, staffs, students and alumni ; and our supporters in business and industry worked tirelessly to educate the voters on our needs and how these funds will be used.
"We enthusiastically embrace the obligation to the voters to spend these funds wisely so that we may have the facilities we need to educate the hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians who yearn for a better life through higher education.
"In addition to the facilities which will be built by these bonds, we also built through this campaign a new spirit of cooperation and respect between the community colleges and universities which will lead to our Systems' working much more closely in the future to expand opportunity for North Carolinians through our respective and collaborative programs."
