THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE AT THIS CAMPUS FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.

IT'S AN AMAZING CAMPUS WITH GREAT LEADERSHIP AND STUDENTS.

YOU HAVE ALLOWED US TO BE PART OF THAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, AND JUST SEE ALL OF THE GOOD WORK AND REALIZE WE HAVE SUCH BRIGHT KIDS OUT THERE THAT ARE DOING SUCH AMAZING THINGS.

STATE ETHICS ACT TOOK PLACE 2007.

ALL OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS ARE COVERED BY THE ACT.

UNDER THAT YOU HAVE THE DUTY TO AVOID CONFLICTS OR APPEARANCE OF CONFLICTS.

DOES N ANYONE TODAY KNOW OF A CONFLICT?

HEARING NONE, WE'LL GET STARTED.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE GOVERNOR BURRIS-FLOYD FOR BEING NAMED.

[APPLAUSE] >> AS YOU KNOW -- >> MR. CHAIRMAN?

I THINK WE SHOULD STAND.

[APPLAUSE] >> FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY NOT KNOW, IT'S THE HIGHEST HONOR A PERSON CAN RECEIVE SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC AND STATE.

WELL DESERVED, GOVERNOR BURRIS-FLOYD SERVED ON THE LEGISLATURE, COUNTY COMMISSIONER, HAS DONE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DO.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO SERVE WITH HER.

CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN, SECRETARY BURRIS-FLOYD.

CHACHANCELLOR, WHERE ARE YOU?

IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU THIS WEEK.

YOU HAVE SHOWN US WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT AND MADE THE BOARD FEEL WELCOME.

I KNOW FOR A FACT EVERYBODY PROBABLY DREADS US COMING.

I ASSURE YOU EVERYONE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO US LEAVING, BUT YOU MADE US FEEL WE WERE GLAD TO BE HERE AND WE ENJOYED IT.

I THINK ALL OF US HAVE BEEN AMAZED BY HOW MAGICAL THIS PLACE IS AND BY ALL YOU ALL ACCOMPLISH HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOUR STAFF.

HOW ABOUT A REAL GOOD ROUND OF APPLAUSE?

[APPLAUSE] >> TODAY, WE CELEBRATE UNC SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, ESPECIALLY AS IT PREPARES FOR RICH, REWARDING LIVES BEYOND GRADUATION.

THE ARTS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF SOCIETY IN WORK AND LIFE.

WE TALK ABOUT STEM CAREERS, AND WE SHOULD BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE HOW A CONSERVATORY CAN HELP BRIGHT MINDS INSIDE AND OUT OF THE ARTS.

AS ALBERT INSTEIN SAID, SMART WILL GET YOU A TO B BUT IMAGINATION TAKES YOU EVERYWHERE.

I HAVE A STORY ABOUT A VIOLINIST THAT CAME FROM MEXICO TO STUDY IN THE UNITED STATES.

HE CHOSE THE UNC GRADUATE DEGREE.

HE TOURED, PERFORMED AND LIVED THE DREAM.

AS TIME WENT BY HIS GOALS CHANGED.

HE WANTED A ROLE INTERPRETING AND CREATING MUSIC.

HE TRAINED AS AN ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR AND RETURNED TO MEXICO TO PUT DOWN ROOTS.

ANOTHER STORY IS EMERY FROM ALASKA.

SHE REMEMBERS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE AN UPHILL CLIMB, SLOW, CHALLENGING BUT FULL OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM HER PROFESSORS.

SHE GREW ACCOMPLISHED, HONED SKILLS AND LEARNED TO NEVER GIVE UP.

AFTER GRADUATION, HER DREAM WAS TO TRAVEL, STUDY OPERA AND BECOME A SINGER.

THE GOAL WAS EXPENSIVE, SO SHE WENT BACK TO ALASKA, WORKED ON A SHIP AND SAVED MONEY.

AS TIME WENT BY EMILY'S DREAMS SHIFTED AS WELL.

IN A MOVE SHE COULD NOT ANTICIPATE, SHE BOUGHT A SHIP AND SET FORTH AS THE FIRST CAPTAIN ON THE BEHRING SEA.

TODAY, LUDWIG IS AN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR FOR THE ORCHESTRA, THE MOST IMPORTANT IN LATIN AMERICA.

AS FOR EMILY, SHE'S A STAR ON DISCOVERY SERIES BEARING SEA GOLD, FOLLOWING CAPTAINS AND CREW MEMBERS AS THEY MINE GOAL FROM THE ALASKAN COAST.

IN DRAMA OR ACTING OR FILM MAKING, THERE IS A LOT OF CROSS CULTURE HERE.

I SUSPECT IT GOT HER READY FOR THAT.

I MAY START WATCHING THE SHOW NOW.

BOTH ALUMNI CREDIT SKILLS THEY LEARNED IN TIME AT THE SCHOOL OF ARTS.

THE EXPERIENCES GIVE US A SMALL SNAPSHOT OF THE IMPACT THE UNIVERSITY HAS ON THE STUDENTS, THE DEDICATION OF FACULTY AND STAFF, AND VALUE OF MENTORSHIPS, MASTER CLASSES, PRACTICE TIME IN STUDIO AND ON STAGE.

THE VALUE IN ART DEGREE IS MULTIFACETED.

IT PRODUCES SKILLS AND A DISCIPLINED MINDSET FOCUSED ON WHAT IS POSSIBLE EVEN IN THE FACE OF WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.

THE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS HAS MANY INCREDIBLE STORIES TO SHARE.

GRADUATES OF THE INSTITUTION BECOME MUSICIANS, DANCERS, DESIGNERS, SCREEN WRITERS AND MANY OTHER THINGS.

THERE ARE TRANSFERABLE SKILLS.

AN ART DEGREE CAN HELP YOU START YOUR OWN BUSINESS, BECOME A TEACHER, WORK IN MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION OR A STEM CAREER.

OR IT MAY HELP YOU BECOME A FAMOUS SHIP CAPTAIN ON THE BEHRING SEA.

WHILE WE BUILD A WORKFORCE, LET'S NOT OVERLOOK THE VALUE OF THE ARTS BUILDING STRONG, CREATE CREATIVE AND RESILIENT PEOPLE.

PEOPLE THAT FORM BRIDGES IN THE COMMUNITIES.

PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT INDUSTRY AND ARTISTRY ARE IMPORTANT TO ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL GROWTH.

THAT IS WHY OUR STATE IS MADE STRONGER.

WE NURTURE THE TALENTS ON ALL FRONTS.

WE FOSTER THE SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC.

LIKE EINSTEIN SAID, LOGIC AND IMAGINATION GO TOGETHER BUT ONLY ONE GOES SO FAR WITHOUT THE OTHER.

GO FIGHTING PICKLES.

[APPLAUSE] >> I WILL NOW CALL ON PRESIDENT HANS FOR HIS REMARKS.

>> PRESIDENT HANS: MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU ARE A REALITY STAR OF SORTS.

[LAUGHTER] >> CHAIR: FAIR ENOUGH.

>> PRESIDENT HANS.

IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE AT THE SCHOOL OF ARTS THAT PUTS ON THE BEST SHOW OF ANY CAMPUS.

I REMEMBER THE JOY IT WAS FOR CHANCELLOR COLE'S INSTALLATION A FEW YEARS AGO, WORLD CLASS BALLET, A COUPLE OF MUSICAL NUMBERS AND BEST PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE.

I KNEW WE NEEDED TO RECRUIT MORE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTORS TO BECOME CHANCELLORS.

THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO SHAPE CREATIVE ENERGY INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, WORK GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS.

CHANCELLOR COLE HAS SHOWN THAT TALENT HERE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS.

EVERY TIME I VISIT THIS PLACE, I THINK ABOUT THE CREATIVITY IT WAS TO FOUND A PUBLIC ART CONSERVATORY IN 1960S, NORTH CAROLINA.

IT WAS AUDACIOUS TO THINK YOU COULD BUILD A SOUTHERN JEWEL YARD.

JULIARD.

HE WAS SOMEONE WHO BELIEVED DEEPLY IN THE CAPACITY OF ART TO BRIDGE THE GREAT DIVIDES IN OUR LIVES, TO HELP US SEE WITH COMPASSION ACROSS BARRIERS OF RACE AND CLASS AND TIME AND POLITICS.

HE WROTE WITH BEAUTY AND UNDERSTANDING ABOUT SETTLERS AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ABOUT NATIVE AMERICANS AND RAILROAD BARRONS, FAMILIES TORN APART BY THE CIVIL WAR.

HE FOUND IT IN HIS HEART TO WRITE ABOUT A UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.

HE WAS IN THE OLD SCHOOL SENSE OF THE TERM, A SOCIAL CRITIC, ARTIST WHO SHOWED THE LOVE OF THE STATE BY WILLING IT TO BE BETTER.

SCHOOL OF THE ARTS IS BORN FROM ACTIVE CRITICISM.

HE HAD A LONG HISTORY OF FRUSTRATION WITH THE WAY MUSIC AND DRAMA WERE TAUGHT IN OUR STATE.

HE WASN'T QUIET ABOUT IT.

HE WROTE LETTERS TO THE DEPARTMENT HEADS.

HE WROTE A PUBLIC REPORT CRITICIZING THE LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES AND ART EDUCATION FOR YOUNG NORTH CAROLINIANS.

I HAVE BEEN CRITICAL, HE SAID IN 2005, THAT SEEMS TO BE TO BE BASIC CREATIVITY.

HE DID NOT STOP WITH JUST CRITICISM.

HE KNEW THAT OFFERING A SHARP OBSERVATION ABOUT A PROBLEM WAS JUST THE FIRST STEP TOWARD ACTION.

GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE ABOUT THE CHALLENGES HE NAMED, ELI DIDN'T HESITATE.

MANY HIS WORK AS ADVISER TO GOVERNOR SANFORD AND HIS TIME WITH THE FORD FOUNDATION HE HELPED SPARK ONE OF THE MOST PRODUCTIVE CHAPTER IN NORTH CAROLINA EDUCATION.

HE SHOWED HOW INNOVATION CAN BE A SPARK FOR PROGRESS, COMMITMENT IS STICKING AROUND FOR THE HARD WORK OF REBUILDING AND REFORM.

HAVING THE COURAGE AND PATIENCE TO RECTIFY A WRONG IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO FOR THE INSTITUTIONS WE LOVE.

CHANCELLOR COLE UNDERSTANDS THIS.

NOW, THAT COMMITMENT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, AND IT IS ESPECIALLY VIVID HERE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS.

THE FOUNDING CHARTER OF THE SCHOOL CALLS ON NORTH CAROLINA TO CONTINUE PROMOTING MATTERS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT, AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE THIS GENERATION OF STUDENTS EMBRACING THAT CHARGE.

THERE WERE DOUBTERS WHEN THE SCHOOL WAS CREATED, PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T BELIEVE NORTH CAROLINA POSED THE NATIVE TALENT TO BUILD A WORLD CLASS CONSERVATIVETY.

THEY WERE WRONG AND WE ARE A BETTER STATE FOR IT.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> CHAIR: WELL SAID.

I'LL CONSIDER CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM FIVE ON.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

SECOND?

DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

IN ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED?

VERY GOOD.

CONSENT AGENDA PASSES.

I'LL NOW CALL ON GOVERNOR REVIS FOR REPORT ON STUDENT GOVERN STUDENT GOVERNMENTS.

>> ALRIGHTY, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE HERE TODAY.

IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL TO SEE EVERYONE HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, THE INNOVATION, PASSION FROM THE STUDENTS FROM THE FACULTY, FROM THE STAFF, THE LOVE FOR THE CRAFT THEY ARE HONING IS INSPIRING.

THE ABILITY TO CREATE ART, HISTORY, ENTERTAINMENT WE CONSUME AND LIKELY LOOK BACK UPON FOR YEARS TO COME IS TRULY INSPIRING.

ALLOW ME TO OPEN UP MY FINAL REMARKS WITH MORE ABOUT ME.

I'M A FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT.

MY MOM IS FROM GUATEMALA, MY DAD FROM EL SALVADOR.

MY MOM WAS A HOUSEKEEPER.

I GREW UP GOING TO THESE PLACES WITH THEM AFTER SCHOOL AND WATCHING THEM WORK HARD FOR ONE KEY THING.

THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, THE WORK AND DETERMINATION MY PARENTS HAD WAS FOR ME.

WHEN MY PARENTS FIRST SAT ME DOWN AND HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT MY FUTURE, IT'S TIME TO APPLY FOR COLLEGE, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE WILLING TO WORK EVERYDAY OF THEIR LIVES AND GIVE ME EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IF I WANTED IT.

A CAR, HOUSE, DOG, PONY.

I EVENTUALLY GOT THE DOG.

THEY TOLD ME THE MOST PRICELESS THING THEY WERE WILLING TO GIVE ME IS AN EDUCATION.

THE ABILITY TO GO INTO A WORLD OF LIFELONG OPPORTUNITY.

THEY WORKED TO GIVE ME A STEPPINGSTONE, A WAY TO LEAP OVER A GUSHING FAST RIVER TO FIND A WORLD THAT I GREW UP SEEING AND HEARING IN MY DREAMS.

THE WORK THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM HAS DONE THUS FAR HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL FOR STUDENTS WITH BACKGROUNDS LIKE MINE AND A PLETHORA OF BACKGROUNDS IN SITUATIONS TO SEE AN OPPORTUNITY IN THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.

EDUCATION TEACHES YOU TO BE A LIFELONG LEARNER.

TO FIND HIDDEN SOLUTIONS TO A DIFFICULT PROBLEM AND HOW TO MAKE AN IMPACT INTO THE WOVEN TAPESTRY INTO SOCIETY WE CALL HUMANITY.

PART OF THE EDUCATION IS THE SUPPORT SYSTEM THE UNIVERSITY OFFERS.

HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS FEEL SUPPORTED TO MAKE SURE THEY GRADUATE, FIND FULFILLING IMPACTFUL CAREERS, THAT THEY HAVE THE FOUNDATION TO START A FAMILY AND BECOME CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF SOCIETY.

HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THEY ARE PREPARED FOR A WORLD OF DIFFICULT AND HARD CONVERSATIONS?

HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE IS NOT MARKED BY WHAT YOU LEARN AND TURN IN BEFORE 11:59 P.M.

I AM GUILTY OF THAT MANY TIMES, BUT BY WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE.

THE WORLD IS A DIFFICULT PLACE TO NAVIGATE.

THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, WE HAVE 333,000,000 PEOPLE.

THAT'S A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS.

IN THE WORLD, ABOVE 8 BILLION.

HOW ARE WE MAKING SURE STUDENTS, FUTURE GENERATIONS, FUTURE LEADERS ARE WELL PREPARED FOR WHEN WE ARE GONE.

WITH THAT, I'M PROUD TO REPORT THAT THIS YEAR, ASG HAS DONE A MULTITUDE OF THINGS.

WE HAVE GIVEN GRANTS TO ASSIST ON CAMPUS PROGRAMMING.

WE HAVE FELLOWS WRAPPING UP RESEARCH TOPICS.

WE DID A SNAP INITIATIVE ON CAMPUSES BEING SURE STUDENTS HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SUCCEED.

WE ATTENDED ADVOCACY DAY IN RALEIGH.

WE FUNDED THE SYMPOSIUM.

WE HOSTED INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENT SESSIONS IN COLLABORATION WITH VICE PRESIDENT FRED SELLERS TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS KNOW WHAT UNIVERSITIES ARE DOING IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR SAFETY.

THE LARGEST THING WE HAVE DONE, WE PUT OUT AN ANONYMOUS APP SURVEY THIS YEAR THAT GAINED OVER 400 RESPONSES TO GAIN INSIGHT ON THE AP'S AND STUDENT PERSPECTIVE AND WE ARE CULMINATING WITH THE BE KIND CAMPAIGN.

SOME OF YOU HAVE TRINKETS BEFORE YOU.

IF YOU WANT STICKERS OR WRIST WRISTBANDS, SEE KIM MITCHELL.

HAPPY TO GIVE THEM OUT.

ALONGSIDE WITH STUDENTS ON AND OFFLINE ABOUT THE TWO WORDS "BEING KIND" IS IMPORTANT, WE ARE HOPING TO EDUCATE THE STUDENTS ON, IT'S NOT JUST ENOUGH TO BE A GOOD HUMAN BEING, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NAVIGATE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH AND TREAT THEM WITH HUMAN DIGNITY.

REINVIGORATING STUDENT INVOLVEMENT WAS A PRIMARY GOAL THIS YEAR.

IT'S HARD WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION THAT MEETS ONCE A MONTH.

RELAYING A FOUNDATION ONCE DISRUPTED BY COVID IS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR YEAR.

I'M HAPPY TO SAY WE ACCOMPLISHED JUST THAT.

I'M EXCITED TO SHARE THAT A PIECE OF LEGISLATION WAS WRITTEN IN PAST OF OUR PAST MEETING.

CHAIR RAMSEY'S WORK IN THE BOARD OF GOVERNOR AND NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM ALONGSIDE CAMERON BROWN, WE ARE EXCITED TO PRESENT YOU WITH THE FINAL PIECE OF INFORMATION AT THE MAIN MEETING.

WE STUDENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE TO WORK BEING DONE TO HAVE A QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE EDUCATION.

TO THAT, WE SAY THANK YOU.

A YEAR AGO I WAS ELECTED TO BE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT.

11 MONTH AGO I TOOK AN OATH TO THIS BODY AS A MEMBER.

HIGHER EDUCATION IS A FIELD I LOVE, WANT TO WORK IN AND MAKE AN IMPACT IN.

I CONTINUE TO URGE THAT THIS BODY CONTINUES TO LOOK THROUGH THE LENS OF POTENTIAL FUTURE TO MAKE DECISIONS HOLISTICALLY AND REMEMBER ONE LARGE PIVOTAL THING.

HIGHER EDUCATION IS THE BUSINESS OF CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY OF LIVES IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

IT CHANGES LIVES AND CHANGED MINE.

THANK YOU TO THE INSTITUTION FORGIVING ME SUPPORT I NEEDED TO SUCCEED AND CONTINUE SUCCEEDING.

THANK YOU TO THE UNC SYSTEM THAT WORKS ON DEVELOPING THE INDIVIDUAL AND UNIQUE INSTITUTIONS THAT MAKE SURE ALL STUDENTS FIND THE RIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEM THEY NEED.

I'M TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND WORK WITH YOU ALL.

DON'T WORRY, THOUGH I'M HEADED OUT OF STATE BACK TO TENNESSEE, I PLAN TO BE BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA TO CONTRIBUTE TO POSITIVE ROI.

ALSO, I'LL HAVE A MASTER'S BY 2026.

IF ANYONE WANTS AN AWESOME SELF-MOTIVATED PERSON THAT LOVES EDUCATION, I'LL BE HAPPY TO COME BACK.

WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] [OFF MIC ] >> I WOULD SAY WESTERN CAROLINA HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD OF, MY FRIEND.

GOVERNOR GORDILLO-RIVAS LAST BOARD MEETING WITH US.

YOU HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB REPRESENTING THE STUDENT BODY, A GREAT MEMBER OF THE BOARD AND YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

YOUR REPLACEMENT IS GOING TO HAVE LARGE SHOES TO FILL, I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT.

WE WISH YOU WELL.

DON'T STAY IN TENNESSEE LONG.

WE DEFINITELY NEED YOU BACK IN NORTH CAROLINA.

I'LL CALL ON MR. CLARK FOR A REPORT ON BUDGET AND FINANCE.

>> MR. CLARK: CHAIR RAMSEY, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, DURING THE MEETING YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FINANCE RECEIVED INFORMATION ON A 2022-23UNC SYSTEM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT.

I CALL ON GOVERNOR BRADLEY FOR ED PLANNING POLICY AND PROGRAMS.

>> GOVERNOR BRADLEY: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

YESTERDAY, DR. ENGLISH PROVIDED ISSUES AND IMPACT RESULTS ON DELAYS SURROUNDING FASA.

DUE TO DELAYS AND DATA APPLICATION DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY AND INSTITUTIONS ARE DELAYED IN AWARDING AID TO ADMITTING AND CONTINUING STUDENTS.

THE SYSTEM OFFICE WILL STUDY THE IMPACT ON ENROLLMENT.

THE COMMITTEE HEARD A PRESENTATION ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION AND OUTCOMES OF CASE MANAGEMENT HEALTH INITIATIVE.

RESULTS REGARDING THE INCREASED EFFORTS OF CASE MANAGEMENT OF STUDENT HEALTHCARE ARE ENCOURAGING.

CASES AND DATA WILL BE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED AS THE PROGRAM EXPANDS.

THE VOTE BY THE COMMITTEE IS APPROVED AND TO BE SENT TO THE FULL BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NEXT MEETING.

>> CHAIR: THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.

ANY THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS?

I'LL MAKE TWO QUICK COMMENTS.

THE FASA ISSUE IS A GREAT SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION TO CHANCELLORS, ADMISSION DEPARTMENTS.

WE HEARD ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.

I WANT TO THANK THOSE NOT ON THE COMMITTEE FOR BEING AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING YESTERDAY.

HAVING A WIDE UNDERSTANDING HELPS US TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ON THE COMMITTEES WE ARE IN.

THE PRESIDENT AND I TALKED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY AND PREVIOUSLY, IT IS LIKELY TO HURT OUR ENROLLMENT IN THE COMING YEAR.

ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES ARE FIGHTING CHALLENGES WITH THAT.

I THINK WE ALL AS A BOARD NEED TO RECOGNIZE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORKPLACE HERE AND ON OUR CAMPUSES THAT RELATE TO THIS.

IT IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL, A FEDERAL ISSUE, UNFORTUNATELY.

I THINK WE MAY NEED TO HELP DEPLOY ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO OUR CAMPUSES TO GET THROUGH THIS.

CERTAINLY THE SYSTEM OFFICE WILL DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH TRENDS WE SAW YESTERDAY.

THE PRESIDENT AT OUR LAST MEETING SHUT DOWN CERTAIN SOCIAL MEDIA SITES ON OUR CAMPUSES.

I THINK IF YOU LOOK BACK TO THIS, IF YOU LOOK TO WHEN IT SKYROCKETS ANXIETY AND MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS, IT GOES BACK TO 2014 LARGELY WHEN THE SMARTPHONE CAME TO BE.

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU, I SENT MANY OF YOU A VIDEO.

FOR GENTLEMAN DR. JONATHAN HEIT.

HE DID A TALK ON YOUTUBE.

IT IS AN OUTSTANDING -- IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR OR HOUR AND A HALF.

IT IS WORTH EVERYONE'S TIME TO WATCH IT TO SEE HOW SOCIAL MEDIA AND SMARTPHONES ARE AFFECTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN'T TURN OUR BACK ON.

I'M ENCOURAGED THAT GOVERNOR BRADLEY AND HIS TEAM TALK ABOUT THIS AND WORK THROUGH IT.

I APPRECIATE YOU INDULGING ME WHILE I HAD A MICROPHONE.

I CALL ON GOVERNOR COWARD FOR THE COMMITTEE OF UNIVERSITY PERSONNEL.

>> WE'LL HEAR FROM THE STAFF ASSEMBLY, SHAYNA HILL UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL.

>> MS. HILL: WAS NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

DURING THAT MEETING, ONE THING STRUCK ME AND KEEPS POPPING UP INTO MY MIND -- BEFORE THE MEETING, SECRETARY PEARL BURRIS-FLOYD ADDRESSED THE BODY AND THANKED EVERYONE FOR THE LOVE THEY HAD SHOWN HER RECENTLY.

SHE USED THE WORD "LOVE."

MY HEART SORED.

SOARED.

IT REMINDED ME WHY I DO THIS WORK.

I LOVE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MY UNC SYSTEM COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE STATE.

THEY ARE NOT JUST MY COWORKERS, THEY ARE MY FRIENDS.

I HAVE WORKED AT UNC CHAPEL HILL FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS.

I HAVE SPENT 33,000 HOURS WITH UNC STAFF.

I HAVE SEEN THEIR HARDSHIPS AND CHALLENGES FIRST HAND.

I HAVE CRIED WITH EMPLOYEES WHO LOST FAMILY MEMBERS.

I HAVE SEEN STAFF HELP HEAL AND IMPROVE LIVES IN UNC CLINICS.

I HAVE HELPED STAFF WITH MOUNDS OF SEEMINGLY ENDLESS WORK.

IN SHORT, I HAVE SEEN STAFF HANDLE THE NEAR POSSIBLE, PROCESSING PAYROLL, GRADUATING STUDENTS, ACQUIRING SUPPLIES, CLEANING SPACES, MANAGING BEAUTIFUL GROUND AND THE NEVER-ENDING LIST OF CRITICAL FUNCTIONS THAT HAPPEN DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

OUR 17 CAMPUSES ARE MUCH LIKE SMALL CITIES WITH THE COMPLEXITIES AND MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES.

WITH ALL OF THE LOVE IN MY HEART, I COMMIT TO BRINGING YOU A WINDOW INTO THE LIVES OF OUR STAFF, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.

WE WERE UPLIFTED BY THE WORK ON THE MARKET RATE BANDS FOR SHRA EMPLOYEES.

AS MANY OF OUR STAFF ARE STRUGGLING FINANCIALLY, WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT THERE WILL ALSO BE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO BRING STAFF TO 100% MARKET RATE.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPETING DEMANDS FOR FUNDS.

I'M INCREDIBLY THANKFUL THAT I AM AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU ON THIS IF POSSIBLE.

PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME IF I CAN ASSIST.

YESTERDAY, WE HEARD ABOUT DIFFICULT TIMES FOR STAFF AS SOME POSITIONS ARE ELIMINATED ON CAMPUSES.

THESE HEARTBREAKING SITUATIONS CREATE A RIPPLE EFFECT AND ARE TRYING TO WEATHER THIS BEST WE CAN.

PLEASE KEEP THIS CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.

AS SECRETARY BURRIS-FLOYD REMINDED US, LOVE SHOULD BE IN THE MIX TO SOLVE THESE DIFFICULT CHALLENGES.

OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE DIVERSE.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS ROLE IS INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES THAN MINE.

WE COME TOGETHER AND ARE STRENGTHENED BY THE PROCESS OF THINKING OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN PERSPECTIVES.

WE ARE ENRICHED BY EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE ARE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE WE ARE OPEN TO LEARN AND GROW FROM EACH OTHER.

OUR DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH.

IT IS SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.

WE ARE WORKING TO RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE OUR STAFF.

TO THAT END, I WANT TO SHARE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE CHANCELLOR'S CUP GOLF TOURNAMENT.

YEP, YOU GUESSED IT.

IT'S LOVE.

SPECIFICALLY THE LOVE OF JANET B. ROYSTER ONE OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS WHO PASSED SUDDENLY AND WHOSE FAMILY STARTED A MEMORIAL FUND TO HONOR HER MEMORY.

THE TOURNAMENT RAISES MONEY IN HER HONOR TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STAFF FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THIS YEAR WE HAVE CREATED A NEW LEVEL OF SPONSORSHIP CALLED FRIENDS OF JANET SO WE CAN KEEP HER MEMORY ALIVE WHILE RAISING MONEY FOR STAFF.

I HAVE INFORMATION PACKETS AVAILABLE TO YOU ALL.

THEY SHOULD BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION, REGISTERING A TEAM OR BECOMING AN EVENT SPONSOR.

LET'S KEEP JANET B. ROYSTER'S MEMORY ALIVE AND HAVE AN INCREDIBLE TOURNAMENT AT THE UNC GOLF COURSE SEPTEMBER 25TH.

MY FIRST DEGREE WAS IN DRAMATIC ARTS.

THIS MEETING HERE AT THE SCHOOL OF ARTS REIGNITED MY LOVE FOR THE ARTS.

THE STUDENT PERFORMANCES AND PROJECTS WERE SIMPLY OUTSTANDING, RIVALLING ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN IN THE PROFESSIONAL ARENA.

SPEAKING OF THE PROFESSIONAL ARENA, I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A HONEY WAGON SINCE WORKING ON THE SHOW "JAME AND THE FATMAN," MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE INCREDIBLE WORK DONE HERE AT UNC.

I CLOSE WITH THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU AND ALL OF THE WORK YOU DO ON BEHALF OF OUR AMAZING STAFF.

WITH THAT, I CONCLUDE MY REMARKS.

[APPLAUSE] >> CHAIR: MS. HILL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR REMARKS AND PARTNERSHIP WORKING WITH US AND ALL OF THE STAFF'S WORK.

THERE IS AN INFORMATION PACK FOR THE 12TH ANNUAL SYSTEM CHANCELLOR CUP GOLF CHALLENGE FRIDAY, WILLIFORD, WE EXPECT YOU TO PUT A TEAM TOGETHER AND WIN.

SECOND AND THIRD PLACE IS NOT GOING TO CUT IT ANYMORE.

THANK YOU, GOVERNOR COWARD.

WE'LL HEAR FROM YOU LATER, I UNDERSTAND.

I CALL ON GOVERNOR BLUE FOR A REPORT ON UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE.

>> YESTERDAY WE HAD AN UPDATE FROM SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT ANDREW TRIPP ON THE ONGOING MANUAL UPDATE PROCESS.

OCTOBER 1, 2022, THE SYSTEM OFFICE TO THE OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS INITIATED A SYSTEM WIDE POLICY REVIEW EFFORT.

THIS EFFORT PRECIPITATED FROM AND IS GROUNDED IN SYSTEM-WIDE FEEDBACK AND REQUEST FOR CONSTITUENT INSTITUTIONS.

THE PROJECT BEGAN WITH CHAPTER 100 IN THE CODE.

THE PRODUCT NOW CONTINUES WITH CHAPTER 600.

THE UNC POLICY ALIGNS THE CHANGES IN THE STATUTORILY DEFINED PURPOSE OF A WELL-PLANNED SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

THE COMMITTEE ALSO DISCUSSED AND VOTED TO REPEAL AND REPLACE SECTION 300.8.5 OF THE POLICY MANUAL ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SUPERSEDING THEM WITH A NEW POLICY THAT STATES EQUALITY WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA.

THE NEW POLICY, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF FOCUS ON THE PREVIOUS POLICY.

I WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THE IMPORTANT.

THE NEW POLICY ENSURES THE DIVERSE PERSONS OF ANY BACKGROUND FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND BEYOND ARE INVITED, INCLUDED AND TREATED EQUALLY.

THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE UNC POLICY WITH RECENT ENACTMENTS INCLUDING JURISPRUDENCE.

THIS POLICY CHANGE WILL COME THROUGH THE FULL BOARD AT OUR MAY MEETING.

THAT CONCLUDES MY ROORKS.

REMARKS.

>> CHAIR: ANY COMMENTS?

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLTEN FOR REPORT ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.

>> YESTERDAY THE COMMITTEE MET JOINTLY WITH THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION PLANNING, POLICY AND PROGRAMS FOR THE FINAL SESSION OF OUR SERIES FOCUSED ON RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY AND I ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED THE SCOPE OF WORK WE PROMISED THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN THE BOARD MEMBER TRANSLATING THE ROI REPORT BACK IN NOVEMBER.

THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE WORK ON THE TOPIC, BUT IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW APPROACH TO ACADEMIC PROGRAM PLANNING AND REVIEW FOR THE SYSTEM.

YESTERDAY, BOTH COMMITTEES UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED A REVISED POLICY 400.1 GOVERNING ACADEMIC PROGRAM PLANNING.

THE NEW PLAN ENGAGES CONSISTENT REVIEW OF ACADEMIC PROGRAM AND ENSURE THAT RETURN ON INVESTMENT METRICS ARE INCLUDED IN THE CAMPUS BASED ASSESSMENTS.

IT BOLSTERS REVIEW TO INCLUDE MEASURES OF VALUE, HOLDING PROGRAMS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY LEAVE GRADUATES BETTER OFF THAN WHEN THEY STARTED THE PROGRAM.

FINALLY, THE NEW PROGRAM CALLS ON THE SYSTEM OFFICE TO ASSESS THE NEEDS OF THE STATE AND COMPARE THOSE NEEDS TO OUR ACADEMIC PROGRAM PORTFOLIO.

THIS REVISED POLICY REFLECTS FEEDBACK FROM CAMPUS ASSEMBLY.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR CHANCELLORS, PROVOST AND FACULTY FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK.

OUR TWO COMMITTEES BELIEVE THE POLICY LANDED IN A GOOD PLACE.

THE FULL BOARD WILL VOTE ON THE POLICY CHANGE AT THE MAY MEETING.

WE HEARD AN UPDATE ON OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN SINCE THE ROI REPORT WAS SENT TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN NOVEMBER.

IN JANUARY, PRESIDENT HANS CALLED ON EACH CAMPUS TO REVIEW PROGRAMS FOUND NOT A POSITIVE RESULT FOR ROI STUDENTS.

EVERY CAMPUS SUBMITTED A RESPONSE OUTLINING IMPROVEMENT PLANS AND A TIMELINE FOR IMPROVEMENT.

STRATEGIES INCLUDED AUGMENTS CURRICULUM WITH CREDENTIALS AND CERTIFICATES IN HIGH-DEMAND SKILLS AND REDUCTION IN TIME TO DEGREE.

WE WERE PLEASED TO SEE THE CREATIVE THINKING TAKING ROOT AT MANY OF OUR CAMPUSES.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING UPDATES IN FUTURE MEETINGS REGARDING THE SUCCESS OF THESE PROMISING INITIATIVES.

DR. KELLY OUTLINED THE SYSTEM EFFORTS TO ENSURE COMPREHENSION WAGE DATA.

THE SYSTEM SECURED A HALF MILLION DOLLARS GRANT OVER TWO YEARS TO ENHANCE THE SYSTEM CAPACITY TO CONDUCT ITS OWN ASSESSMENT OF ROI DEGREE PROGRAMS IN THE SYSTEM.

AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS THE START OF AN ONGOING EFFORT TO ENSURE WE ARE NOT ONLY THE MOST AFFORDABLE IN THE COUNTRY, BUT ALSO THE MOST VALUABLE.

ALL OF THE STEPS ARE SUMMARIZED AND RECORDED IN A LETTER THAT CHAIR BRADLEY AND I SEND TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEXT WEEK ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK CHAIR BRADLEY AND THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR WORK OVER THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS.

I WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK ANDREW KELLY, DAVID ENGLISH, DAN HARRISON AND THEIR TEAMS FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP AND EFFORTS.

FROM THE BEGINNING TO NOW, THIS HAS BEEN A LONG, CHALLENGING AND COMPLICATED PROJECT.

THEY HAVE DONE YEOMAN WORK.

I'M CONFIDENT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO DELIVER AS THIS WORK CONTINUES.

THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.

>> THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU AND GOVERNOR BRADLEY'S COMMITTEE.
