Sallie’s Opinion

Women’s financial independence makes some uneasy

 

Hey all, looks like we — this community of women+ coming together to pursue financial wellness — might be making some folks uncomfortable.

Let me explain. I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I have always loved the school. It was a big deal for me to leave my home state (just one state away, South Carolina, but still) to go to college. I still love the friends I made there, it was the launch pad for my career, and (and I’m serious here) the women’s and men’s basketball games are about the only things that make the too-long, too-dark winter in New York City bearable for me.

I haven’t 100% loved everything about the university for sure, but I am that person glaring at anyone in Duke attire.

So it was a kick to the stomach when I recently got a call from a North Carolina journalist, letting me know that I had been nominated for a faculty award … but was rejected by the university’s board of trustees for my supposed political views.

Really??
