CHAPEL HILL, N.C. A settlement has been reached over mold at two

North Carolina Central dormitories.

The U-N-C Board of Governors has agreed to a one-point-five-(m)-

million-dollar settlement with contractors who designed and built

the dorms, which had to be closed in 2003 because of mold. They

eventually were gutted and rebuilt.

The mold caused the displacement of 500 students, who were housed in

Durham hotels for the school year.

The U-N-C system spent nearly ten-(m)-million-dollars on repairs,

hotel bills and transportation for the students. U-N-C officials say

that money could have been used to fix other buildings throughout

the state.
