	"description": "In the summer of 2025, UNC Asheville announced that they would hire a consulting firm to form a Millennial Campus Development commission that would be tasked with creating a process to evaluate potential projects for its Millennial Campus properties, including the UNCA woods. We&#x27;ve heard from trusted sources that the UNCA Millennial Campus Commission is soon to be announced. It&#x27;s likely none of our members or anyone we know is going to be on it. The UNCA Executive &amp; Governance Committee of Board of Trustees has called a special virtual meeting Wednesday January 21, 2026, at 3 PM. We don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s related to the commission or the UNCA woods. Meeting link: https://www.youtube.com/live/clHNy9qE-so What we do know is that the exclusion of Save the Woods members and community members on the commission would be a sham. We cannot stand idly by while a group of supposed &quot;experts&quot; with no ties to or interest in our community works to add a veneer of credibility to UNCA&#x27;s dreadful plans. Let&#x27;s raise our voices to ask community voices be included on the commission and remind them of our goal to preserve the UNCA woods.",
