This semester, high-profile resignations left Cape Fear Community College marine tech students without the opportunity to join the program’s crucial training cruise or a satisfactory explanation for why the program had been disrupted. WHQR dug deep into public records to try and shed more light on the issue.
At Thursday evening’s Cape Fear Community College Board of Trustees meeting, members unanimously approved the state budget worth $59.6 million and the overall CFCC budget at $111.7 million. The college is receiving $12.6 million from the county and has an institutional budget of $39.4 million.
Two directors of CFCC’s prized programs recently resigned last spring: Chip Munna, program director over emergency medical services (EMS), and Carolyn McCormick, program director over nursing.
Since the fallout of the resignations of Cape Fear Community College’s Captain Robert Daniels and boatswain and scientific support technician William Davis, marine technology students are asking the college what specifically prompted Daniels and Davis to resign.
