Federal funding cuts are hitting Queens University of Charlotte right as the school faces a merger with Elon University and enrollment struggles. The biggest blow? The Center for Digital Equity, which helps Charlotte residents get online and access tech, is suddenly short $7 million. That means fewer devices, less training, and more digital gaps in low-income neighborhoods. Students are already noticing fewer campus events and more uncertainty about their future. With the merger looming, everyone’s wondering: How will these changes reshape campus life and community support in Charlotte? What should universities prioritize when money gets tight? #Education #College #Charlotte
