‘Single Question Rally’ seeks answers from UNCW’s chancellor

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The North Carolina Minority Citizens for Fiscal Transparency, a newly founded watchdog group, held a ‘Single Question Rally’ on College Road during UNCW’s move-in day. 

The goal is to sit down with Chancellor Aswani Volety to ask him a question regarding construction contracts that have, in their words, been fraudulently awarded by the university. 

Charles Jones is the chairperson for the North Carolina Minority Citizens for Fiscal Transparency. 

He says they hope to find a solution that ends in fairness for all contractors. 

“It’s under fairness, under the act of G.S. 143-128.2 it was put in place for fairness act so that everyone can have a seat at the table. Just like now, we just want to sit there and ask one simple question with him. Is he aware of what’s going on,” Jones said. 

We reached out to UNCW for a statement which is found below. 

“UNCW supports an individual’s right to freedom of expression consistent with law and policy. However, the university believes that the protestors’ claims are inaccurate, misleading and unfounded. UNCW is committed to following all applicable laws and providing equal opportunities for all potential vendors and partners through the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program.”
