SECONDLY, THE CAMPUS TOUR OF UNC-TV CHARLOTTE AND APPALACHIAN STATE ARE SCHEDULED FOR THE 19th AND 20th.

THESE TOURS ARE AN EXTENSION OF ORIENTATION FOR NEW MEMBERS.

WHILE ALL BOARD MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE, ONLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHEER APPALACHIAN STATE AGAINST COASTAL CAROLINA ON THE END OF THAT TOUR.

THAT'S A PRETTY ELECTRIC STADIUM.

THIRD, WE INVITE ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS TO JOIN US IN YOUR FELLOW COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS THE SYSTEM FOR THE TRUSTEE WORK SHOP.

THAT WILL BE HOSTED AND HELD ON THE 16th AT N.C. STATE'S CAMPUS.

FINALLY, COMMITTEE CHAIRS, IF YOU GIVE YOUR REPORT FROM THE PODIUM.

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR NICHOLS FOR THE INVOCATION.

AS YOU WISH, MA'AM.

>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE.

MOST GLORIOUS AND GRACIOUS AND AWESOME GOD, YOU SAID IN YOUR WORD, WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS NOBLE AND WHATEVER IS RIGHT, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY, WHATEVER IS ADMIRABLE.

>> THANK GOVERNOR NICHOLS.

IF I COULD BORROW A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR ENERGY.

WE CAN SELL THAT.

>> THANKS, SECRETARY BURRIS-FLOYD.

THANKS FOR ALL BEING HERE TODAY.

IT DOESN'T GO UNRECOGNIZED.

UNDER THE ACT, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO AVOID CONFLICTS AND APPEARANCES OF CONFLICTS.

LOOKING AT TODAY'S AGENDA, DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST YOU HAVE OR AN INTEREST THAT WOULD GIVE APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT?

IF YOU DO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW.

START WITH MY HEALTHCARE AGAIN.

WHEN WE DID THAT, WE HAD A LOT OF THOSE.

I'LL RECOGNIZE PRESIDENT HANS FOR HIS REPORT OF THE DAY.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

I HAVE VISITED SEVERAL OF OUR CAMPUSES RECENTLY.

THE SENSE OF ENERGY IS PALPABLE.

THE WORLD STILL COMPLICATED, OF COURSE, GIVEN THE DELTA VARIANT OF COVID AND THE CONTINUING STRAIN ON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

WITH CAREFUL PRECAUTIONS, ALONGSIDE WIDESPREAD VACCINATION AND TESTING, OUR CAMPUSES ARE OPERATING WITH THE IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND SOMETHING MUCH CLOSER TO A FULL COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR OUR STUDENTS, A GOOD THING FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

THE DISRUPTIONS OF THE PAST 18 MONTHS WERE TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH BUT COME AT A COST.

WE KNOW REDUCING CAMPUS OPERATIONS, PROVIDER FEWER SUPPORTS, LESS STRUCTURE FOR STUDENTS, IT HAS A REAL IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO HEARTENING TO SEE A FULLER VERSION OF CAMPUS LIFE RETURNING.

LIKE NEARLY EVERY UNIVERSITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO LESSEN THE RISK OF THIS VIRUS WHILE CONTINUING TO PROVIDE THE LIFE-CHANGING EDUCATION THAT OUR STUDENTS NEED.

NOW, WE WILL SEE COVID CASES THIS FALL AND LIKELY INTO THE SPRING.

GIVEN THE RATE OF SPREAD IN OUR STATE, THAT'S INEVITABLE.

WE WILL REMAIN VIGILANT.

WIDESPREAD, FREE ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE VACCINES ON OUR CAMPUSES, 100,000 ADMINISTERED THUS FAR IS HELPING TO ENSURE THAT MOST CASES ARE THANKFULLY MILD OR ASYMPTOMATIC.

IT'S CLEAR FROM OUR TESTING THAT CAMPUSES ARE NOT MAJOR DRIVERS OF COMMUNITY SPREAD AND ARE IN FACT SAFER THAN THE SURROUNDING REGIONS.

COVID IS NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY.

UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT VACCINATION GETS US CLOSER TO THE DAY WHEN THIS VIRUS BECOMES A MORE MANAGEABLE FACT OF LIFE.

THE PATH TO BECOMING A ROUTINE ILLNESS DEPENDS ON WHETHER ENOUGH PEOPLE GLOBALLY GET THE VACCINE TO LIMIT FUTURE MUTATIONS.

NOW, OUR BEST PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCHERS IN THIS SYSTEM ARE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO BRING ABOUT THAT DAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON PUBLIC BUDGETS AS WE KNOW.

STATE LAWMAKERS ARE CONTINUING TO NEGOTIATE A FINAL BUDGET AGREEMENT AND I WON'T TEMPT FATE BY MAKING ANY PREDICTIONS ABOUT EXACTLY WHERE THEY'LL LAND.

I CAN SAY THAT YOUR DISCIPLINED PRAGMATIC APPROACH IS RESONATING IN RALEIGH.

THE HOUSE, THE SENATE AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE ALL ENDORSED YOUR PRIORITIES FOR THIS BUDGET, WHICH WE'RE SECLUDED IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR N.C.

PROMISE, A WELL-EARNED RAISE FOR FACULTY AND STAFF AND THE LARGEST INVESTMENT IN REPAIR AND RENOVATION IN THE UNIVERSITY'S HISTORY.

MR. CHAIRMAN, ALLOW ME TO SAY THAT AGAIN.

THE LARGEST INVESTMENT IN MUCH-NEEDED REPAIR AND RENOVATION IN THIS UNIVERSITY'S HISTORY.

MEASURED IN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

ADDITIONALLY, I SENSE A WILLINGNESS TO SUPPORT ENHANCED EFFORTS TO REACH ADULT LEARNERS AS THE BOARD HAS DISCUSSIONED REPEATEDLY IN THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE.

TAKE THAT AS VERY GOOD NEWS.

WE'RE FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN A STATE WITH A LONG BIPARTISAN HISTORY OF SUPPORT FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.

I'M CONFIDENT WE'LL SEE THAT REFLECTED IN THE FINAL BUDGET.

I'M ESPECIALLY GLAD FOR THE RECOGNITION OF THE HARD WORK OUR FACULTY AND STAFF HAVE PUT IN OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS.

THEY'VE BEEN SHOWING UP, DOING THEIR JOBS UNDER CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

THEY KEPT VITAL OPERATIONS GOING, KEPT OUR STUDENTS LEARNING ONLINE AND IN PERSON THROUGH THE DISRUPTIONS OF THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS AND PROVIDED CRITICAL PUBLIC SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITIES.

SO THANK YOU, TRULY THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO ON BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS.

AS TO THE PANDEMIC'S EFFECTS ON PERSONAL BUDGETS, IF THE BOARD ENDORSES OUR RECOMMENDATION AND THE BUDGET COMMITTEE'S GUIDANCE, THIS WILL MARK THE SIXTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR WITH NO TUITION INCREASES FOR IN-STATE STUDENTS.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANOTHER STATE IN THE COUNTRY THAT CAN MAKE THAT STATEMENT.

REFLECTS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT AND OUR MORAL OBLIGATION.

NOW, I'M CONVINCED FROM PUBLIC OPINION, DATA FROM YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FROM DECADES OF CONVERSATIONS WITH PARENTS AND STUDENTS THAT KEEPING COSTS LOW IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE CAN DO TO BUILD BACK PUBLIC TRUST AND PROMOTE EQUITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

PEOPLE OVERWHELMINGLY BELIEVE THAT HIGHER EDUCATION OPENS UP NEW DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY AND IT DOES.

BUT ONLY IF THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE IS WITHIN REACH.

ONLY IF IT'S AFFORDABLE, ONLY IF PEOPLE SEE IT AS AFFORDABLE.

IF THEY GRADUATE WITH MINIMAL DEBT.

SO THEY CAN PURSUE THEIR GOALS.

NOW, I'VE BEEN READING EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK "DEBT TRAP" BY JOSH MITCHELL FROM THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL."

HE WRITES ABOUT THE WAY THAT EXPLODING STUDENT DEBT, A LOT DRIVEN BY QUESTIONABLE PROGRAMS, HAS NOT ONLY HURT INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS BUT IT'S UNDERMINED THAT FAITH IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

AND THE MORE STORIES THERE ARE OF YOUNG PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO PAY BACK LOANS OR OF WORKERS THAT SACRIFICED YEARS OF EARNINGS FOR A DEGREE THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY DELIVER CAREER PROSPECTS THAT THEY HOPED FOR, THE MORE PEOPLE BEGIN TO QUESTION THE FUNDAMENTAL PROMISE OF COLLEGE AS AN ENGINE OF OPPORTUNITY.

AND THOSE BURDENS TEND TO FALL MOST HEAVILY ON POOR AND MINORITY STUDENTS THAT BENEFIT THE MOST FROM HIGH VALUE COLLEGE DEGREE.

MITCHELL WRITES "INSTEAD OF EQUALIZING OPPORTUNITY, STUDENT DEBT CAN REINFORCE THE CLASS DIVIDE."

THAT IS AN EQUITY ISSUE THAT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION.

I APPRECIATE THE BOARD'S LEADERSHIP IN THIS REGARD.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE PLACED SO MUCH EMPHASIS NOT ONLY ON AFFORD ABILITY BUT CAREFULLY REVIEWING OUR PROGRAMS TO SEE THAT THEY'RE DELIVERING ON THE PROMISES TO STUDENTS.

WHY WE CLOSELY MONITOR GRADUATION AND DEBT LEVELS.

WHY WE'RE DETERMINED TO DESIGN BETTER SERVICES FOR WORKING ADULT LEARNERS.

WE HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL IN NORTH CAROLINA WHEN IT COMES TO COLLEGE COSTS.

VIGILANCE, STEADY PUBLIC INVESTMENT ARE HOW WE KEEP IT THAT WAY.

I WANT TO THANK THIS BOARD FOR YOUR RIGHTFUL FOCUS ON THESE ISSUES AND I WANT TO THANK LAWMAKERS OF BOTH PARTIES WHO HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO KEEP THE LIFE-CHANGING EDUCATION WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERY NORTH CAROLINIAN.

THANK YOU, MR.

CHAIR.

>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

COMMENT IS ON MARK.

I APPRECIATE THEM.

WE WILL NOW CONSIDER ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ANY ITEMS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO HAVE REMOVED FOR DISCUSSION?

HEARING NOW, ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS BY ACTION OF CONSENT.

PROPERLY SECONDED MOTION.

DISCUSSION OR DEBATE?

HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED SAY NEY.

MOTION PASSES.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

I WILL NOW CALL ON MR. HOLMES FOR A REPORT ON BUDGET AND FINANCE.

WE JUST DID THAT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

CHAIR RAMSEY AND THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS DURING A REGULAR MEETING ON BUDGET AND FINANCE YESTERDAY, WE RECEIVED THE 20-201 REPORT ON BUDGET AND FINANCE WHICH SUMMARIZED THE ACTIONS TAKEN LAST YEAR.

MRS. MURPHY PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON PRICING, FLEXIBILITY AND AFFORD ABILITIES WHICH FOCUSED ON THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE AT UNC INSTITUTIONS.

THEY'RE LOOKING TO IMPROVE AFFORD ABILITY AND DEFINING COST OF ATTENDANCE AND ENCOURAGE GREATER OVERSIGHT.

THE TASK FORCE ASKED THE SYSTEM STAFF TO SURVEY UNIVERSITY LEADERS ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND DEVELOP POLICY ACTIONS TO CONSIDER AT THE NEXT MEETING LATER THIS FALL.

MRS. MURPHY PLANS TO BRING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMITTEE IN NOVEMBER.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF.

YOU HEAR ABOUT AFFORD ABILITY.

THE THING WE NEVER GOT INTO IS THE LARGEST EXPENSE ITEMS AND TOTAL COST.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THAT WENDY AND THIS GROUP IS DOING.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.

EACH YEAR WHEN THE STATE BUDGET IS FINALIZED, THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET FINANCE RECOMMENDS AL CASES OF FUNDS BE MADE AVAILABLE BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

IT'S UNCERTAIN WHEN THE 21-23 BUDGET WILL BE FINALIZED.

IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT THE BUDGET COULD BE IN PLACE BEFORE THE BOARD MEETS AGAIN.

AT THIS TIME ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET FINANCE, I MOVE THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FINANCE BE DELEGATED THE AUTHORITY TO ALLOCATE FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

THERE WOULD BE A SPECIAL MEETING FOR THIS PURPOSE AND THE ENTIRE BOARD WILL BE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE EITHER IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOM.

>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU HEARD THE MOTION.

ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION?

HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED SAY NEY.

MOTION CARRIES.

>> JENNIFER HEYGOOD PROVIDED UPDATED TO THE 2023 ALL FUNDS BUDGET, THE PART 2 OF THE UNC SYSTEM WORK FORCE TRENDS ANALYSIS.

AT THE COMMITTEE'S REQUEST, SHE WILL PROVIDE BOARD MEMBERS A COPY OF THE ALL FUNDS BUDGET GUIDANCE THAT WILL BE ISSUED LATER THIS WEEK AND A TIMELINE SHOWING HOW THE BUDGET ALIGNS WITH THE STATE BUDGET PROCESS.

MRS. HEYGOOD NOTED THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EXPENDITURES THROUGH JUNE 21 AND PHYSICAL YEAR 21 YEAR END GENERAL FUND UPDATES WERE AVAILABLE.

THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED THE RECOMMENDATION TO REVISE THE FEES POLICY TO ALIGN WITH THE CURRENT FEE SETTING PROCESS.

THE RECOMMENDED NEW POLICY REFLECTS EXISTING PRACTICES.

THIS ITEM INCLUDES UPDATED FEE POLICY THAT WILL BE ADDED AS SECTION 1000.1.2 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL ON STUDENT FEES.

THERE'S NO EXPECTATION THAT THE POLICY WILL CHANGE THE EXISTING PROCESS TO ESTABLISH STUDENT FEES.

THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO MODIFY THE POLICY LANGUAGE TO REITERATE THAT CAMPUS BOARDS OF TRUSTEES MUST APPROVE TUITION FEES AND PROPOSALS BEFORE SUBMITS FOR APPROVAL.

THE FULL BOARD OF GOVERNORS WILL VOTE THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING ON THE REVISED FEE POLICY.

I WANT TO BE CLEAR, WE WILL AS A COMMITTEE AND A BOARD DEBATE AND APPROVE ALL THE FEES BEFORE THEY GO IN TO EFFECT.

SO THIS IS JUST AN AMENDMENT TO THE POLICY.

SECTION 21-80 CODIFIES REPORTING ON THE STATUS OF CAPITOL PROJECTS OVER 10 MILLION.

INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED ABOUT THIS REQUIREMENT AND PROVIDED A SAMPLE FORMAT OF THE REPORT, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN YOUR MATERIALS ON BOARD EFFECT.

REPORTS ON THE STATUS OF CAPITAL PROJECT WITH STATE FUNDS ARE REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE JOINT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND PHYSICAL RESEARCH DIVISION BY OCTOBER 1 AND APRIL 1 OF EACH YEAR.

IN ADDITION BEGINNING JANUARY 1, THE STATUS OF CAPITAL PROJECT OVER $10 MILLION MUST BE REPORTED QUARTERLY TO THE OFFICE OF STATE BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT.

COMMITTEE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED THE FOLLOWING ROUTINE ADMINISTRATIVE AND TRANSACTIONAL ITEMS.

MRS. LYNN PRESENTED THROUGH NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE CAMPUS PLAZA FOR A TOTAL OF $2 MILLION FUNDED BY DONATIONS AND GIFTS.

THE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RENOVATION, PHASE 3 FOR AUTHORIZATION TOTAL OF $4.8 MILLION FUNDED BY FLIGHT RECEIVED AND THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA WILMINGTON'S ALDERMAN HALL AND KING HALL RENOVATIONS FOR A TOTAL REQUEST OF $7.8 FUNDED BY CARRIE FORD.

THE COMMITTEE APPROVED ALL THREE REQUESTS.

MRS. HAGAN PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE FOR NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHARLOTTE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $47 MILLION.

THE REQUESTS FOR REFINANCING EXISTING BONDS.

BOTH APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.

IN TOTAL, THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED 12 ITEMS AND THREE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THANKS.

THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANKS, CHAIRMAN HOLMES.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN SAY ENOUGH ABOUT WHAT THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE IS DOING.

THE WORK IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

AS YOU HEARD IN PRESIDENT HANS' REMARKS, IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK WE'VE ASKED THEM TO TAKE CARE OF.

I ALSO WANT TO COMMEND THEM ONCOMING BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR HOLDING TUITION FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

WE ALL UNDERSTOOD THIS CAN'T GO ON FOREVER.

I THINK IN OUR NEXT DISCUSSIONS, WE HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT DIFFERENT -- POTENTIALLY DIFFERENT GUIDANCES FOR THE CAMPUSES.

I DO COMMEND THE WORK THEY'RE DOING AND I THANK THE CAMPUSES, PARTICULARLY CHANCELLORS ON THE SENIOR TEAM FOR WORKING WITH US TO TRY TO KEEP THE COST OF ATTENDANCE DOWN AND HELPING OUR STUDENTS BE MORE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE OF THAT.

I WILL NOW CALL ON GOVERNOR SLOAN FOR THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS.

I KNOW YOU WERE GIVEN IMPORTANT INTRODUCTIONS THIS MORNING, RAISING MONEY FOR BOY SCOUTS AND DOING DOUBLE DUTY.

>> THANKS, CHAIR FOR ACCOMMODATING MY COMPLICATED SCHEDULE THIS MORNING.

AT OUR MEETING YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS REVIEWED AND APPROVED THE COMMITTEE'S 2020-21 ANNUAL REGARD AND SUBMITTED IT TO THE FULL BOARD.

A SECTION WAS DISCUSSED AND SUBMITTED TO THE FULL BOARD FOR A VOTE THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NEXT MEETING.

ONE ACADEMIC PROGRAM DISCONTINUATION WAS APPROVED AS WERE THREE LICENSURE APPROVALS AND TWO LIMITED LICENSES.

ALL SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA.

TWO REQUIRED REPORTS WERE HEARD, AND APPROVED THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AS WELL.

THE COMPREHENSIVE ARTICULATION AGREEMENT RECORD AND THE EARLY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REPORT.

THANKS, MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS CONCLUDES MY RECORD.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR SLOAN.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M ON THAT COMMITTEE AND I ATTENDED AS LONG AS I COULD.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW WELL THE EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES ARE DOING.

WE HAD ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS AT UNC WILMINGTON.

AS A FATHER, I'M HOPEFUL BOTH OF MY GIRLS WILL GO THROUGH THAT PROGRAM AND GRADUATE AND BE RISING JUNIORS, WHICH IS AMAZING.

I KNOW SEVERAL KIDS THAT HAVE DONE THAT.

CAN ANYBODY TELLS HOW SUCCESSFUL THOSE PROGRAMS ARE ACROSS THE STATE?

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.

I WILL CALLED ON DR. VAN.

SHE'S PROBABLY THE MOST QUALIFIED FOR THAT DISCUSSION.

>> I WILL NOTE AS SOME OF YOU LOOK AT THE RECORD, WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION FROM N.C. STATE THAT HAD OVER 1,300 EARLY COLLEGE GRADUATES.

WE'RE SEEING A LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING A TENSION TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM.

>> IS THAT GOOD FOR YOU, GOVERNOR?

THANK YOU, DR. VANNORT.

>> I WILL NOW CALL ON GOVERNOR BLUE TO INTRODUCE THE FACULTY.

>> WE'LL HEAR FROM MR. KILLIAN TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE N.C. STAFF ASSEMBLY UPDATE.

>> THANK YOU IN JUST UNDER TWO WEEKS, WE'LL HOST OUR NINTH ANNUAL CHANCELLOR'S GOLF TOURNAMENT AT TOBACCO ROAD IN SANFORD, THIS TOURNAMENT IS OUR SOLE FUND RAISER FOR THE STAFF SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS STAFF THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE 17 INSTITUTIONS, FUNDS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUING EDUCATION.

MANY STAFF USE THE REWARD FOR AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE.

THIS IS THE ONLY SUCH AWARD OF ITS KIND AND WE'RE PROUD TO SUPPORT STAFF AND HELP THEM WORK TOWARDS THEIR PROFESSIONAL GOALS.

THIS YEAR WE HAVE REPRESENTATION FROM ALL 17 INSTITUTIONS AND THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND THANK YOU, PRESIDENT HANS, FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.

WE'RE VERY PROUD TO HAVE THE STATE EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION OF NORTH CAROLINA AS OUR NAMING RESPONSIBLE SOUTHERN, BLACK BALD, A SOFTWARE COMPANY SPECIALIZING IN ADVANCEMENT SOFTWARE AS A LARGE SPONSOR FOR US, SEVERAL HOLE SPONSORSHIPS AND CONTINUED SUPPORT FROM THE ROYSTER FAMILY AGAIN THIS YEAR.

HAVING MISSED OUR TOURNAMENT IN 2020 BECAUSE OF COVID, EVERYONE IS VERY EXCITED TO PLAY THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE STAFF ATTENDING FROM 12 SCHOOLS THAT WILL BE ON THE COURSE REPRESENTING INSTITUTIONS AND MEETING PLAYERS.

SPEAKING OF THE PLAYERS, WE'RE EXPECTING A FULL COURSE OF 28 TEAMS, WHICH IS AMAZING.

THIS INCLUDES CHANCELLOR TEAMS FROM 16 SCHOOLS, THE PRESIDENT'S TEAM, SPONSOR TEECHLS, ROYSTER FAMILY TEAMS AND STAFF TEAMS TO FILL OUT THE COURSE.

SURE TO BE A GREAT DAY OF GOLF AND FUND-RAISING FOR STAFF SCHOLARSHIPS.

WE'LL PROVIDE YOU AN UPDATE IN NOVEMBER WITH THE RESULTS.

IN THE SPIRIT OF COVID, WE'LL HAVE DISPOSABLE FACE MASKS AND PREPACKAGED SNACKS AND DRINKS FOR THE PLAYERS AND VOLUNTEERS.

MOVING ON TO A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS TOPIC STAFF RAISES, A COUPLE OF QUICK COMMENTS.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING THIS A TOP PRIORITY FOR OUR LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MRS. HOUSTON ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU ALL FACE AND THE WORK BEING DONE HERE AT THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND BY THE CHANCELLORS IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO STAFF TO SEE EVERYONE WORKING SO HARD TO ADVOCATE FOR EQUAL INCREASES FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONSISTENT IN RECENT YEARS AND WE APPRECIATE THE WORK BEING DONE BY THIS BOARD, OUR CHANCELLORS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM AND THE SYSTEM OFFICE STAFF.

WHILE WE DON'T YET KNOW WHERE THINGS WILL END UP, IT LOOKS PROMISES.

THERE'S SOME TYPE OF INCREASE FOR THE BIENNIUM AND EQUALLY APPLIED ACROSS THE BOARD FOR EVERYONE.

THE ACTIONS BY THE SYSTEM OFFICE FROM THE RACIAL EQUITY TASK FORCE REPORT, WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THOSE ON THE STAFF ASSEMBLY.

WE RECEIVED REGULAR UPDATES FROM MR. DARRELL BASS AS ACTION ITEMS ARE ADDRESSED AND COMPLETED.

MR. BASS HAS BEEN WORKING TO ADDRESS THE OMBUDSMAN ISSUE.

THEY'RE A GREAT RESOURCE WHEN STAFF NEED A CONFIDENTIAL PERSON TO HELP WORKOUT AN ISSUE OR A PROBLEM THAT MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR HUMAN RESOURCES.

RESEARCH DONE BY THE STAFF ASSEMBLY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO SHOWED THAT ABOUT HALF OF OUR INSTITUTIONS HAVE A RESOURCE, AN OMBUDSMAN RESOURCE.

WE APPRECIATE MR. BASS WORKING TO RE-ASSURE STAFF AT ALL SCHOOLS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS VALUABLE RESOURCE.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE TASK FORCE AND ITS RECOMMENDATIONS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE RACIAL INEQUITIES BEING ADDRESSED AS YOU CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THE REPORT.

IN CLOSING TODAY, THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME SHARING COMMENTS WITH YOU ALL.

WE TURN OVER LEADERSHIP BEFORE YOUR NEXT MEETING IN NOVEMBER.

MRS.

CRYSTAL WOODS FROM SCIENCE AND MATH WILL TAKE OVER AS OUR CHAIR AND I'M EXCITED FOR HER TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD.

SHE HAS PROVEN LEADERSHIP AND SERVED AS OUR VICE CHAIR IN THE PAST.

IT'S INDEED BEEN A UNIQUE TENURE FOR ME.

NEVER DID I ENVISION THAT I WOULD SPEAK TO YOU ONCE AND LEAD OUR ASSEMBLY MEETINGS ALMOST TWO YEARS.

IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE.

ONE I TACKLED AND MADE THE BEST OF JUST AS WE ALL HAVE.

IN CLOSING, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE AND A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE TO LEAD THE ASSEMBLY.

IT WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT OUTSTANDING SUPPORT FROM THE SYSTEM OFFICE STAFF, MATT BRODY AND SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT FROM PRESIDENT HANS.

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, THANK YOU CHAIR RAMSEY AND GOVERNOR BLUE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THIS BOARD.

>> THANK YOU, MR. KILLIAN.

I WAS JUST THINKING AS YOU DELIVERED YOUR REMARKS HOW UNUSUAL IT IS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU BUT ONE TIME IN TWO YEARS.

I CERTAINLY HOPE GOING FORWARD THAT IS NOT THE CASE FOR A PERSON THAT WILL BE TAKING YOUR ROLE.

I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP.

WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE STAFF DOES ACROSS OUR SYSTEM AND YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADVOCATE AND A GREAT PARTNER OF OURS.

I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE SEE AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK AND EFFORTS.

I HOPE THAT GOVERNOR WILLIFORD AND GOVERNOR BUY -- BYERS DO NOTHING BUT PLAY GOLF, THEY WILL JOIN YOUR TEAM.

CLEARLY THEY MUST BE GOOD AT IT.

AL LEAST GOVERNOR WILLIFORD IS HERE.

SO I'M GOING TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME JOIN YOU.

I'LL TAKE BETS ON WHOEVER IS PLAYING AGAINST THEM.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> TAKE CARE.

THANK YOU.

I NOW CALL ON GOVERNOR POWERS FOR A REPORT OR GOVERNANCE.

>> GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU, MR.

CHAIR.

FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK GOVERNOR HUTCH HUTCHENS FOR FILLING IN FOR ME.

WE HELD A PRODUCTIVE MEETING YESTERDAY AND HAD ONE ACTION ITEM FOR THE BOARD AND SEVERAL INFORMATIONAL ITEMS.

FIRST, TWO VACANCIES ON THE VIDANT BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

>> NEXT, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REQUIRES THE UNC SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN A FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASSIFIED CONTRACTS.

IT'S NEEDED TO EXEMPT THOSE FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO OBTAIN INDIVIDUAL SECURITY CLEARANCES.

THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTED VOTED AND IT WAS PASSED BY THE BOARD.

IN NOVEMBER 2020, THE COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE BEGAN AN INFORMATIVE DISCUSSION ON THE STATE OF FREE EXPRESSION.

THE COMMITTEE WAS JOINED BY THREE MEMBERS OF UNIVERSITY OF UNC CHAPEL HILL.

THE PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTED PERCEPTIONS OF THE ROLE PLAYED BY FACULTY IN PROMOTING FREE EXPRESSION EXPRESSION, THE NEED TO CREATE A MORE INFORMED NATIONAL CONVERSATION ON THESE ISSUES.

FOLLOWING THE DISCUSSION, PRESIDENT HANS, THE RESEARCH TEAM AND THE SYSTEM OFFICE STAFF DEVELOPED A PLAN TO REPLICATE THE UNC CHAPEL HILL SURVEY AT ADDITIONAL UNIVERSITIES.

WITH SUPPORT FROM DR. KELLY, THE RESEARCH TEAM WILL REPLICATE AND EXPAND THE UNC CHAPEL HILL STUDY TO A BROADER GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS.

NEXT, LYNN PRESENTED TWO YEAR-END REPORTS.

THE FIRST WAS THE FISCAL YEAR 2020, 21 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CARMAC WHICH WAS ACCEPTED FOR SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

LYNN SHARED A SUMMARY OF THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE AUDIT ACTIVITIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 AND 21.

ROUNDING OUT OUR PRESENTATIONS FROM INTERNAL AUDIT WAS THE INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMITTEE OF AN EXCITING NEW AND INTERNAL AUDIT INTERNSHIP AT THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE.

LISA OUTLAW JOINED OUR GROUP IN JULY.

AS AN AUDIT MANAGER.

SHE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF THIS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.

THE PRINCIPLE GOALS OF THE PROGRAM ARE TO PROMOTE SHARED SERVICE WAS RELATED TO INTERNAL AUDIT, INCREASE RESOURCE CAPACITY AT THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND AT OUR CONSTITUENT INSURANCE TUQUESES SO MORE AUDITS AND CONSULTING ENGAGEMENTS COULD BE COMPLETED AND BUILD A PIPELINE FOR STUDENTS TO GAIN REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE AND CONSIDER THE UNIVERSITY ROUTE FOR THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAREER.

THIS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IS A JOINT VENTURE PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY THE OFFICE OF STATE BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT.

LISA WILL SUPERVISE UP TO TEN INTERNS AND THAT INCLUDES THE SUMMER.

THEY WILL COMPLETE AUDITED FOR THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE, OUR CONSTITUENT INSTITUTIONS AND STATE AGENCIES.

WE'RE EXCITED AND HAPPY THAT THE SYSTEM OFFICE BROUGHT THIS PROGRAM TO THE UNIVERSITY AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FUTURE REPORTS ABOUT ITS SUCCESS AND IMPORTANTLY WAYS TO MEASURE THAT SUCCESS AS AN IMPROVEMENT ENHANCEMENT TO OUR CAPACITY AND RESOURCES.

NEXT, IN FEBRUARY OF 2021, THE COMMITTEE AND THIS BOARD ENDORSED FOUR SPECIFIC INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO HELP US CAMPUS SECURITY TEAMS ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE NECESSARY PUBLIC SAFETY RESOURCES NEEDED FOR EACH UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.

YESTERDAY FRED SELLERS PROVIDED AN UPDATE ON EACH OF THESE INITIATIVES.

I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT TANGIBLE ACTION IS UNDERWAY ON EACH INITIATIVE.

THE RIGHT GROUPS AT THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND AT EACH INSTITUTION ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN IMPLEMENTING EACH INITIATIVE.

WE WILL PLAN TO REPORT MORE SPECIFICS AND MORE PROGRESS IN THE MONTHS AHEAD.

NEXT, IN APRIL OF 2021, THE COMMITTEE APPROVED SEVEN RECOMMENDATIONS DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN INFORMATION SECURITY THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

YESTERDAY KEITH WARNER UPDATED THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATUS OF IMPLEMENTING THESE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AGAIN, THE TEAM AT THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND WITHIN EACH INSTITUTION THEY'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ON EACH OF THE SEVEN INITIATIVES.

IN PARTICULAR, ONE OF THE INITIATIVES IS TO MAKE AVAILABLE TO EACH INSTITUTION AS NECESSARY A VIRTUAL CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER.

SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE VACANCIES, HAVE A HARD TIME FILLING THOSE VACANCIES AND THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL AS WE CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN INFORMATION SECURITY THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT ONE INSTITUTION, FAYETTEVILLE STATE, IS ALL RIGHT UNDER CONTRACT IN USING A VIRTUAL CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICE AND TWO INSTITUTIONS ARE ACTIVELY WORKING THAT ISSUE AND MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT SOON.

SO IT'S WORKING -- THAT INITIATIVE IS WORKING AS HOPED AND DESIGNED.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND I HOPE BY SOMETIME LATER IN THE YEAR WE'LL SAY THAT THINGS HAVE CONTINUED TO IMPROVE AT A GREAT PACE.

FINALLY, LAST WEEK THE OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR ISSUED AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT FOR FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY.

LYNN SANDERS SUMMARIZED THE RESULTS OF THE REPORT.

CHANCELLOR ALLISON IN ROLL FOR JUST A FEW DAYS WHEN THE REPORT WAS ISSUED TO FAYETTEVILLE STATE PARTICIPATED IN THE MEETING VIA ZOOM AND DESCRIBED THE UNIVERSITY'S RESPONSE TO THE FINDINGS IN THE REPORT.

BOTH THAT THEY HAVE DONE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO TO MOVE FORWARD.

ANSWERED QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD IN ATTENDANCE.

I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY HE ADEQUATELY ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS AND MADE GOOD PROGRESS IN RESPONSE TO THE FINDINGS.

MR.

CHAIR THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK GOVERNOR HOLTON.

ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR GOVERNOR HOLTON ON HIS REPORT ITEM?

I WOULD SAY THERE'S GOOD CONVERSATION DURING THAT YESTERDAY AND I APPRECIATE -- I WILL ECHO HIS COMMENTS ABOUT CHANCELLOR ALLISON.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR BEING PROACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AND ASSURING THAT WE STAY IN GOOD GRACES WITH THE STATE AUDIT, PARTICULARLY THE STATE AUDITOR THAT DOES A GREAT JOB SUPPORTING US.

I'D LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLLY HOLLY.

I MIGHT ADD AT THE CONCLUSION OF HER REPORT, WE'LL HAVE ABOUT A TWO MINUTE VIDEO PLAYED IN HIS COMMITTEE MEETING THAT I THINK IS EXTREMELY WELL-DONE.

I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT.

>> CHAIRMAN RAMSEY, DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, PRESIDENT HANS, ATTENDEES, ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, THE COMMITTEE ON HISTORICALLY MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS MET TO REVIEW THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE OVER THE RECENT MONTHS.

NEARLY ONE YEAR AGO AS WE BEGAN OUR TERM AS CHAIR OF THIS SPECIAL COMMITTEE, WE MET WITH OUR SIX HSMI CHANCELLORS AND VISITED THEIR CAMPUSES.

WE WALKED MANY HISTORIC LANDMARKS AND LEARNED MUCH ABOUT EACH INSTITUTION'S UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES.

DURING THESE VISITS, WE SAW MORE THAN JUST CAMPUSES.

WE SAW VISION, WE SAW OPPORTUNITY, WE SAW EXCELLENCE.

TODAY I CONTINUE TO EXCLAIM WHAT I'VE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR TENURE.

WE'RE PRIVILEGED TO HAVE SOME OF AMERICA'S FINEST CHANCELLORS RIGHT IN THE COLLECTION OF OUR SYSTEM.

ALL OF WHOM ARE LEADING DYNAMIC, INNOVATIVE UNIVERSITIES.

IN OUR RECENT MEETING, THE HMSI COMMITTEE RECEIVED AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON THE ACCESS TO EXCELLENCE, MARKETING AND BRANDING PROJECT ENTITLED "THE INNOVATORS, THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF NORTH CAROLINA'S HISTORICALLY BLACK AND AMERICAN INDIAN UNIVERSITIES."

TIMOTHY MINOR, VICE PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT PROVIDED CAMPUS UPDATES AND CALLED UPON MR. BEERMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PBS NORTH CAROLINA AND MEMBERS OF HIS TEAM, JUSTIN SMITH, CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER AND LAURA KEILAR, CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER THAT REPORTED ON THE KICKOFF OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY CAMPAIGN.

IS THIS MARKETING CAMPAIGN IS COMPRISED OF 18 SHORT VIDEOS, THREE FROM EACH UNIVERSITY THAT WILL ROLL OUT STARTING SEPTEMBER 20th.

THE PROJECT WILL CULMINATE WITH THE PREMIER OF A ONE-HOUR BROADCAST SPECIAL THAT AIRS OCTOBER 18 ON PBS NORTH CAROLINA.

THESE FEATURES, THE SERIES FEATURES FACULTY, STUDENTS, STAFF AND ALUMNI FROM EACH INSTITUTION SHOWCASING WHAT MAKES EACH UNIVERSITY EXCELLENT, INNOVATIVE ANDUNIQUE.

THE SERIES ALSO WILL SHOW HOW THESE UNIVERSITIES ARE POSITIVELY IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITIES, CHANGING LIVES AND WAYS THAT WILL RESONATE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

AS WE DID ON YESTERDAY, I WOULD LAKE TO RECOGNIZE EACH CHANCELLOR FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO THIS PROJECT.

THIS IS A BIG-TIME COLLABORATION AMONG SIX UNIVERSITIES AND WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE CAMPUSES, THE HARD WORK OF STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF.

LASTLY, I'D LIKE TO THANK CHAIRMAN RAMSEY, VICE CHAIR WINDY MURPHY FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THIS BODY OF WORK.

LET ME HASTEN TO EXTEND APPRECIATION TO OUR ESTEEMED PRESIDENT OF OUR SYSTEM, OUR HMSI STAFF, MR. TIM MINOR, OUR LEAD AS WELL AS PBS NORTH CAROLINA UNDER THE FINE LEADERSHIP OF LINDSEY BEERMAN FOR A JOB WELL-DONE.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY AND COLLEAGUES, I HEARD THE DEMAND FOR THE PRESENTATION OF A TRAILER.

SO IF YOU WILL INDULGE US A MOMENT LONGER, THE PRESENTATION WILL FOLLOW.

IS THAT RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN?

ALL RIGHT.

VERY WELL.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> GOVERNOR HOLLY, I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE.

IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE, I HOPE THAT YOU START COMING.

HE DOES REALLY GOOD WORK.

HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO.

WE NEED AN ENGINEERING SCHOOL TO COME HELP US WITH THIS.

>> OUR STORY OF INNOVATION BEGINS WITH THE YOUNG FOLKS THAT ARE MISSION DRIVEN, SERVICE GROUNDED, READY TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF TOMORROW WITH THE PASSION OF TODAY.

>> I'LL SAY THAT DIVERSITY IS IMPORTANT IN NOT ONLY NASCAR BUT MOTORSPORTS AS A WHOLE.

REPRESENTATION IS A BIG DEAL.

THAT'S HOW THE LONGEVITY OF THE SPORTS CONTINUES.

HAVING KIDS LOOK ON TV AND SEE SOMEONE LIKE THEM TO GIVE THEM CONFIDENCE TO SAY HEY, I WANT TO DO THIS ONE DAY.

>> I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO COME TO FSU, FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY BECAUSE IT'S AN HBCU.

>> WHEN WORKING WITH DIFFERENT AGE GROUP, DIFFERENT DIVERSITIES, WE WANT MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS.

SOME MIGHT BE DIFFICULT BUT THEY'RE THE SOLUTION, TOO.

REALLY HELPED ME TO TRANSFORM.

>> THAT PASSION, THAT MOTIVATION IS KNOWING THAT IF I COMPLETE MY END GAME THAT WHAT I'M DOING COULD POSSIBLY SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

THAT'S MY MOTIVATION.

>> WE WERE ABLE TO DO OUT SKILLS THAT WE WOULDN'T DO IN THE HOSPITAL.

SO WE'RE GETTING MORE EXPERIENCE AND ALSO ABLE TO EDUCATE, ABLE TO DO PRIMARY PREVENTION RATHER THAN TREATING A CAUSE.

>> YOU HONE IN ON WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.

MY DREAM IS I WANTED TO BE A DRONE PILOT.

FROM MY EXPERIENCES FROM HIGH SCHOOL UP TO THE COLLEGE LEVEL.

REALLY WORKED OUT.

I'M HERE AT ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY AND COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.

>> THESE PASSIONATE, DRIVEN AND DETERMINED FOLKS ARE FORGING AHEAD TO MANIFEST THEIR DREAMS INTO REALITY.

THE INVESTMENT, COMMITMENT AND PERSISTENCE OF TODAY WILL LEAD US TO A FUTURE UNLIKE ANYTHING WE CAN IMAGINE.

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, CURES FOR ALZHEIMER'S, ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE.

ALL WITHIN OUR REACH DUE TO THE SPIRIT OF THESE SIX INSTITUTIONS.

>> I TELL YOU, THAT'S GOOD STUFF THERE.

GOVERNOR HOLLEY, I'M GLAD YOU SUGGESTED WE PLAY THAT.

THAT'S GOOD STUFF.

THANKS, CHANCELLORS FOR WORKING ON THAT.

I'D LIKE TO THANK MR. BEERMAN AND HIS STAFF AS WELL.

THAT IS VERY MOVING.

WE WATCHED IT, VICE CHAIR MURPHY SAID SHE WANTED TO DRIVE THE RACE CAR.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT IS, BUT IF SOMEBODY WOULD LET HER KNOW, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU, GOVERNOR HOLLEY.

I'D LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR BYERS FOR A REPORT ON LAB SCHOOLS.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN RAMSEY.

ON TUESDAY, THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON LABORATORY SCHOOLS HEARD RENEWAL REPORTS FROM THE EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY SCHOOL AND WESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY CATAMOUNT SCHOOL.

AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE, THE LAB SCHOOL STATUTE CALLED ON THE BOARD AND THE PRESIDENT TO CREATE NINE LABORATORY SCHOOLS ACROSS THE UNC SYSTEM AND TO AUTHORIZE THOSE SCHOOLS FOR A FIVE-YEAR TERM.

THE CATAMOUNT SCHOOL AND ECU COMMUNITY SCHOOL WERE THE FIRST LABORATORY SCHOOLS TO OPEN THEIR DOORS IN 2017 AND AS SUCH, ARE IN THEIR FIFTH YEAR OF OPERATION.

IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER A RENEWAL OF THAT INITIAL FIVE-YEAR TERM.

EACH SCHOOL SHARED INFORMATION ABOUT ENROLLMENT, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, GROWTH AND THE GROWTH SINCE THEIR INAUGURAL YEAR AS WELL AS NUMEROUS PARTNERSHIPS THAT THEY FORGED WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY THE SUPPORT INSTRUCTION AND STUDENT, SOCIAL AND EMOTION NATURAL WELL-BEING.

UPON HEARING THE RENEWAL REPORTS FROM EACH OF THE LAB SCHOOLS, THE SUBJECT COMMITTEE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RENEW EACH SCHOOL FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIVE-YEAR TERM.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE BOTH SCHOOLS ON YEARS OF SUCCESS AND CONTINUED PROGRESS.

IN OCTOBER THE COMMITTEE LOOKS FORWARD TO APPROVING THREE NEW LABORATORY SCHOOLS THAT WILL OPEN IN THE FALL OF 2022, IN WILL FULFILL OUR STATUTORY OBLIGATION.

APPALACHIAN STATE, WHICH ALREADY RUNS AN ACADEMY AT MIDDLE FORK PLANS TO OPEN AN ADDITIONAL SCHOOL.

NORTH CAROLINA A&T PLANS TO OPEN A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE THIRD SCHOOL WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OCTOBER.

I'M GRATEFUL TO ALL THE UNIVERSITY LEADERS INVOLVED IN THIS PROGRAM FOR THEIR HARD WORK, ESPECIALLY WANT TO A PLAYED ECU AND WESTERN FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUCCESS.

YOU WERE THE FIRST TO RISE TO THE CHALLENGE AND HAVE SET A TERRIFIC EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE SYSTEM.

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT OUR CHANCELLORS THAT HAVE STEPPED TO THE PLATE.

THE LAB SCHOOL NOT ONLY TOOK A LOT OF WORK AND A LOT OF TIME FROM OUR DEANS AND FROM OUR STUDENTS AWAY FROM CAMPUS, IT COST A LOT OF MONEY.

SO OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE PAYING TO HELP EDUCATE OUR K-12 STUDENTS.

MR. PRESIDENT, AS YOU WELL KNOW, A UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE K-12 STUDENTS THAT WE'RE PROVIDED.

SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE CHANCELLORS FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION.

ALSO WANT TO THANK ANDREW KELLY WHO HAS BEEN KIND OF THE MINDSET BEHIND THIS AND WORKED SO CLOSELY.

I THINK I'VE BEEN A CHAIRMANNED SINCE IT STARTED.

IT'S TIME FOR A NEW CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIRMAN.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

THIS IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO ME BE.

SO I'VE BEEN THE CHAIR I THINK FOR FIVE YEARS.

ANDREW, WITHOUT YOU, THIS WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE.

I THANK YOU.

DR. BERRY, THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK.

THE ENTIRE STAFF.

IT'S HARD TO RUN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

MRS. NELSON, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S HARD TO EDUCATE.

OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT ONLY EDUCATING OUR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, THEY'RE EDUCATING OUR K-12 STUDENTS AS WELL, HELPING EDUCATE ALONG WITH GOOD EDUCATORS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK GOVERNOR JOEL FORD, JIMMY CLARK AND REGGIE HOLLEY.

WHEN NEEDED, SHE'S COMES TO OUR METERS.

GOVERNOR WENDY MURPHY.

THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING.

YOU DON'T HEAR A REPORT FROM US EVERY MONTH.

FOR SOME OF THE NEW MEMBERS, YOU MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY UP TO SPEED ON THE LAB SCHOOL PROGRAM.

IF THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW OR ANDREW.

WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET A VISIT TO SEE THESE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THE GREATS JOB THAT THEY'RE DOING IN COMBINATION WITH OUR UNIVERSITIES.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT'S IT.

UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE WITH THINGS I'D LIKE TO SAY.

>> NO, GOVERNOR BYERS, WE DON'T NEED THAT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THANKS, GOVERNOR BYERS?

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT LAB SCHOOL REPORT?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> YES, SIR.

>> I RECALL -- I WAS ON THE BOARD WHEN WE FIRST RECEIVED THAT LEGISLATION AS A BIT OF A SURPRISE TO THE SYSTEM.

WE WATCHED THE UNIVERSITY SCRAMBLE.

WE DO APPRECIATE ANDREW KELLY'S HELP.

THIS COMMITTEE AND COMMITMENT AND THE UNIVERSITIES THAT PICKED UP THE BALL AND CREATED THESE SCHOOLS.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY DECEMBER.

BUT IT WAS BRILLIANT IN IDEA AND SCOPE.

I THINK IT'S BEEN SCARIED OUT WELL.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE NEW MEMBERS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND MAYBE WHAT IT IS.

BUT IT IS A -- IT'S A LABORATORY.

IT'S THERE TO EDUCATE NOT ONLY THE STUDENTS AS I UNDERSTAND IT'S, THE STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITY AND THE STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, K-12, I GUESS.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW ACROSS THE BOARD WHAT GRADES AND ALL ARE BEING TAUGHT.

I THINK IT'S JUST ELEMENTARY.

IS THAT RIGHT, GOVERNOR BYERS?

>> MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WELL.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT AND A GREAT LABORATORY.

WHAT BETTER IF YOU'RE GOING TO EDUCATION AND HAVING THE CHANCE TO ACTUALLY BE IN A SCHOOL TEACHING PEOPLE.

THE SCHOOL THAT YOUR UNIVERSITY IS RUNNING.

AGAIN, THANK YOU ANDREW, GOVERNOR BYERS AND EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED THIS HAPPEN AND PARTICULARLY THE FOLKS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL.

>> THANK YOU.

GOVERNOR NICHOLS?

>> I WANTED TO THANK YOU, GOVERNOR BYERS.

I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF A LAB SCHOOL.

I AM THE PRODUCT OF A LAB SCHOOL.

SO FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, OUR SCHOOL WAS DEVELOPMENTAL AND RESEARCH ACADEMY FROM K-12.

SO I AM A PRODUCT OF A K-12 LAB SCHOOL.

SO I DO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE, AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU, GOVERNOR BYERS.

HAD EVERY INTENTION OF SHOWING UP TO THIS MEETING.

I DIDN'T SEE THE DATE.

I ASSUMED THAT I COULD JUST POP IN.

[INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] I'LL GET WITH CHANCELLOR COLE ABOUT THAT.

BUT THE WORK THAT IS DONE AT THE LAB SCHOOL IS SO IMPORTANT AND SO I PROMISE MOVING FORWARD I WILL MAKE SURE THAT I AM IN ATTENDANCE AT THOSE MEETINGS.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

I WENDT TO THIS MEETING.

THE PRINCIPALS ARE UNBELIEVABLE IN THESE SCHOOLS.

IT'S NOT JUST TEACHING OUR TEACHERS, THEY'RE TEACHING THE MOST CHALLENGEED STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE AND AT RISK STUDENTS.

IT'S INCREDIBLE WORK THEY'RE DOING.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T SHINE A BRIGHT ENOUGH LIGHT ON THE WORK OUR UNIVERSITIES DO.

WE TEND TO LOOK AT THINGS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY -- SOMETIMES WE'RE MORE CRITICAL OF OURSELVES THAN WE SHOULD BE.

REALLY GREAT WORK GOING ON THERE.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK OR RECOGNIZE CHANCELLOR EDWARDS.

YOU'RE TOUGH TO DECIDE YOU WANT TO SECOND ONE.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT.

>> MOONSHINE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

>> MOONSHINE CAN MAKE YOU DO STRANGE THINGS.

I'LL GO ON WITH MY REPORT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOVERNOR BYERS.

>> THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

>> YES, SIR.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM IS GOING TO TURN 50 YEARS OLD IN OCTOBER.

SINCE OUR CONSOLIDATION IN 1971, OUR 16 UNIVERSITIES HAVE SHARED A MAKES OF EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PUBLIC SERVICE.

OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE STRONGER AS ONE AND WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL FOR THE VISION OF THE LEADERS THAT CREATED THIS SYSTEM.

THE TAXPAYERS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND THE LEGISLATURE HAVE HAD A GREAT VISION IN THIS UNIVERSITY.

AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYWAY WE CAN REPAY THAT DEBT OR THANK THOSE PEOPLE ENOUGH FOR CONTINUING TO SUPPORT US.

THIS UNIVERSITY HAS MADE GREAT STRIDES, BUT WE MUST FOCUS ON THE WORK AHEAD.

BIG QUESTIONS LOOM AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THE NEXT 50 YEARS.

STEWARDSHIP AND RESOURCES, DECLINING POPULATION ARE ISSUES WE MUST ADDRESS.

I'M PROUD TO REPORT THAT THIS BOARD HAS MADE NUMEROUS POLICY ACHIEVEMENTS THE PAST YEAR.

THE ONGOING ALL FUNDS BUDGET INITIATIVE WILL PROVIDE A BIG PICTURE OF RESOURCES TO MAKE MORE ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANS, ENGAGE TRUSTEES TO BE MORE INVOLVED.

IN MY VIEW, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS OUR BEARD WILL EVER SEE.

WE'RE KEEPING IN-STATE TUITION FLAT FOR A FIFTH YEAR.

WE'RE STUDYING WAYS TO LIMIT COSTS ACROSS THE BOARD.

OUR GOALS ARE ALWAYS TO FIND WAYS TO BE MORE EFFICIENT AS WE DELIVER DEGREES AND EDUCATION TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE.

I'D LIKE TO THANK GOVERNOR HOLMES AND GOVERNOR HEYGOOD FOR LEADING THIS EFFORT ON BUDGET AND FINANCE.

IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK THAT WE ASKED THEM TO DO.

WE'VE HAD A GOOD YEAR AT THE LEGISLATURE.

THE BUDGET REQUESTS.

WE'VE MADE BUDGET REQUESTS THAT ARE SENSIBLE AND ALLOWING US TO CARE FOR SUPPORTING ENROLLMENT, FACULTY AND STAFF RAISES AND PROVIDE AFFORDABLE TUITIONS.

YOU HEARD PRESIDENT HANS SAID EARLIER THAT SHOULD THIS BUDGET BE PASSED, AND WE HOPE IT WILL, IT WOULD BE THE LARGEST INFRASTRUCTURE INFUSION EVER IN THE HISTORY OF OUR UNIVERSITY.

ONE THAT IS DESPERATELY NEEDED.

THERE'S STILL WORK TO BE DONE, BUT IT'S CLEAR THAT OUR LEADERS BELIEVE WE'RE MOVING THIS UNIVERSITY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

I THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE FOLKS ON JONES STREET THAT ARE PUTTING THAT TIME IN TIRELESSLY AND MIGHTY LITTLE PAY, AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US IN OUR EFFORTS.

I'D LIKE TO THANK GOVERNOR BYERS AND THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, OFFICE STAFF FOR WORKING TO GET US CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE AND WE HOPE THAT YOU GET US ACROSS.

NO PRESSURE.

COMMITTEES ARE DOING WORK IN OTHER AREAS.

I'D LIKE TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE FOR TRANSFER PATHWAYS, IMPROVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND TAKEN STEPS TO MAKE SURE OUR ACADEMICS PREPARE GRADUATES FOR THE WORK FORCE.

I MIGHT ALSO SAY THAT DURING YESTERDAY'S MILITARY AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, WE TALKED ABOUT MAKING THE PATHWAYS EASIER FOR VETERANS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ALL PASSIONATE ABOUT.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THE VETERANS HAVE DONE AND WANT TO ENSURE THEIR SUCCESS IN IN WORK FORCE AS WELL.

PRESIDENT HANS SAID HE'S COMMITSED TO ENSURE THIS HAPPENS AS QUICKLY AS WELL.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY IN JOB PERFORMANCE ACROSS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.

OUR GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB TO WORK ON CAMPUS.

WE WILL PROMOTE, PRESERVE FREE EXPRESSION.

THAT WORK WILL CONTINUE THANKS TO GOVERNOR POWERS FOR HIS LEADERSHIP.

I DON'T THINK WE RECOGNIZE HOW HARD THAT COMMITTEE WORKS.

EACH AND EVERY TRUSTEE APPOINTED WAS VETTED THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE.

GOVERNOR POWERS SPOKE TO NEARLY EVERY ONE.

THE FREE EXPRESSION WORK THAT GOES ON IS SO IMPORTANT ACROSS OUR NATION, TRUTHFULLY.

FOR US TO HAVE DIALOGUE WHEN WE DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE AND COME TO A CONSENSUS THAT MIGHT MAKE US ALL BETTER.

I'M SURE IT WILL MAKE US BETTER IN THE END.

I APPRECIATE THAT WORK, GOVERNOR POWERS.

I THINK NOVEMBER -- NOVEMBER YOU'LL HAVE YOUR NEXT -- >> YEAH.

WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT AND OTHER JUSTICES.

>> SAD -- THAT WILL BE COMPELLING.

AND WE WORK TO IDENTIFY PRIVATE RISK.

WE IMPROVE SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES.

WE SUPPORT CAMPUS LAW ENFORCEMENT BY APPROVING RECOMMENDATIONS TO RECRUIT THOSE VACANCIES.

WE UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN -- WE CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH TO KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE AND CAMPUSES SAFE.

WE INVESTED MILLIONS IN CAMPUS MENTAL HEALTH.

WE KNOW WHAT A CHALLENGE IT'S BEEN THE LAST 18 MONTHS WITH THE PANDEMIC AND THAT INCREASED AND PUT A MAGNIFYING GLASS ON THAT.

WE LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE LITERACY EDUCATION FOR FUTURE TEACHERS AND IT'S MY HOPE THAT HOUR SCHOOL OF EDUCATION WILL BE A FORCE PREPARING K-12 STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT BRINGS ME TO A TOPIC THAT IS NEVER VERY FAR FROM MY MIND.

STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE WORK FORCE.

I READ AN ANALYSIS SHOWING OUR NATION IS HEADED TO A DEMOGRAPHIC DROUGHT.

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE.

OUR NATION IS FACED WITH TALENT SHORTAGE EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND COVID-19 HAS WORSENED AN ALREADY EXISTING PROBLEM.

PEOPLE RESEARCHED BACK TO SCHOOL FOR DEGREES OR TECHNICAL TRAINING DURING THE PANDEMIC BUT ENROLLMENT PATTERNS ARE NOT FOLLOWING THAT PATTERN.

WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW TO SEE A GROWTH.

WE'RE NOT SEEING IT ACROSS THE NATION.

WE'RE INSULATED SOMEWHAT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE MOVING TO OUR STATE.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN IGNORE AND SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUSLY GOING FORWARD.

HISTORY IS CATCHING UP WITH US.

FACTORS INCLUDE BABY BOOMERS RETIRING, THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC, THE AFFECT ON MIDDLE AGE WORKERS AND LOWER BIRTH RATES AND GENERATIONAL DELAYS.

INFLUENCE LIKE VIDEO GAMES, INHERITED WEALTH AND THE VALUE OF FULL TIME WORK ARE PLAYING A PART.

WE'RE SEEING A DECLINING POPULATION IN YOUNG PEOPLE.

AS THAT POPULATION DECLINES, WE CAN NO LONGER ALLOW ON OUR NEXTENER RAISE TO FILL THE CLASSROOMS.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS TALENT SHORTAGE THE NEXT 50 YEARS, WE MUST ADAPT.

WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE'LL REMAIN THE SAME THE NEXT 50 YEARS AND STILL BE RELEVANT.

WE HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH EMPLOYERS TO MEET THEIR NEEDS MORE QUICKLY, PROVIDE TRAINING FOR MID CAREER WORKERS AND APPEAL TO ADULT LEARNERS WHO MUST BALANCE FAMILY AND JOBS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE HEARD PRESENTATIONS FROM EXPERTS AND HELD EXPERTS HOW WE CAN REACH MORE NONTRADITIONAL AND ADULT STUDENTS.

WE MUST TURN THOSE DISCUSSIONS TO ACTIONS.

IT'S A PASSION OF MINE, SOMETHING THAT I WANT EVERY ONE OF TO US TAKE SERIOUSLY AND SOMETHING THAT I KNOW PRESIDENT HANS AND HIS TEAM ARE COMMITTED TO.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND HIS TEAM'S VISION AS WE MOVE FORWARD FORWARD.

ANDREW KELLY AND GOVERNOR COWHER HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN THIS AREA.

IF WE DON'T PAY ATTENTION, WE WILL GET PASSED BY.

WE HAVE TO MAKE THE BEST OF THE OPPORTUNITIES GOING FORWARD.

LET'S CONTINUE TO MAKE CAMPUSES AND OUR PEOPLE REMARKABLE AND COLLECTIVELY EXTRAORDINARY.

I NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO GO TO CLOSED SESSION.

>> I MOVE THAT WE GO TO CLOSED SESSION PURSUE WANT TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTE 143-318.11 A 13 AND 6 FOR THE PURPOSES STATED IN THE WRITTEN MOTION THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE MEETING MATERIALS WHICH HAVE BEEN PUBLICLY MADE AVAILABLE.
