THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

[LAUGHTER] >> HOW ABOUT THAT!

NO CHARTS, NOT MANY REMARKS.

[LAUGHTER] WOW!

LET'S MOVE ON BEFORE HE CHANGES HIS MIND.

[LAUGHTER] CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM 5, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS MEMBERS WOULD LIKE REMOVED?

I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>> DISCUSSION OR DEBATE?

ALL IN FAVOR AYE.

>> AYE.

>> ANYONE OPPOSED?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'D LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLMES FOR THE COMMITTEE OF BUDGET AND FINANCE.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

IT'S A LENGTHY REPORT.

THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FINANCE RECEIVED REPORT FROM MS. MURPHY ON TASK FORCE ON PRICING, FLEXIBILITY ON SEPTEMBER 29 DISCUSSED REVIEW OF UNC SYSTEM POLICY AND PRACTICE, DATA ON HISTORICAL ENROLLMENT IN STUDENT BLUE, TRENDS IN COST OF STUDENT BLUE PROGRAM COMPARED TO NATIONAL DATA ON HEALTH AND INSURANCE COSTS, COMPARED TO OTHER PUBLIC UNIVERSITY HEALTH PLANS.

HEARD FROM TWO NATIONAL EXPERTS, DIRECTORY OF STUDENT HEALTH AT UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN MEDICINE AND DIRECTOR AT WILMINGTON, HOLDING MORE MEETINGS IN THE FALL TO CONTINUE THE ANALYSIS OF COSTS TO ENSURE THE SYSTEM IS DOING EVERYTHING TO KEEP COSTS LOW.

REALLY GOOD WORK.

WENDY IS LOOKING AT THE STUFF WE OUGHT TO BE LOOKING AT, CREATING MECHANISMS TO MAXIMIZE OUTPUTS TO MINIMIZE COST.

IT'S REALLY GOOD STUFF.

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT JENNIFER HAYWOOD PRESENTED THE PROMISE ANNUAL REPORT, NOW INCLUDES FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY, TO OFFSET DECREASE IN REVENUE $7.8 MILLION, FSU $12.5 MILLION, UNCP 15.9, AND REVIEWED THE REPORT OF THE FISCAL YEAR 20 UTILIZATION STRATEGY, INFORMATION ON INSTITUTIONAL PHYSICAL ASSETS, INCLUDING AGE, CONDITION OF BUILDINGS, AT EACH CAMPUS BASED ON DATA SELF-REPORTED AT EACH CAMPUS, DUE TO IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON ABILITY TO DELIVER FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION ANALYSIS WAS ADMITTED FROM THE 2020 REPORT.

GREAT CONVERSATION, FUTURE REPORTS WILL SHOW FOCUS ON R AND R IMPROVEMENT, GOVERNOR POPE HAD GOOD SUGGESTIONS AROUND SOME -- MAKING SOME POINTS COMMON SO THERE'S STILL GOOD WORK TO BE DONE HERE.

CONVERSATION OF SEPTEMBER COMMITTEE MEETING FURTHER DISCUSSION ON PERFORMANCE WAITING COMPONENT OF THE FUNDING MODEL, REQUESTING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND PRACTICAL EXAMPLES OF HOW THE PROPOSED METHODOLOGY WOULD BE APPLIED AND THEREFORE DEFERRED ACTION UNTIL ITS NEXT MEETING.

A COUPLE POINTS HERE.

WE'VE CONTINUED TO -- WE CONTINUE TO REEMPHASIZE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUALLY REVIEW HOW THIS MODEL IS WORKING, WE'LL TAKE FEEDBACK, WE'LL LISTEN, WE DEFERRED OUR ACTION, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO BE COMFORTABLE, BUT I WOULD NOW RECOGNIZE GOVERNOR ROBERTS TO MAKE A FEW REMARKS AROUND THE DATA AND RESULTS WE ARE LOOKING AT.

>> THANK YOU.

THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A TRUE STATEMENT.

THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING MODEL, EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD KNOWS HAS BEEN UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR SOME TIME NOW.

THERE'S BEEN EXTENSIVE DISCUSSION WITH THE CAMPUSES WITH THE CHANCELLORS, WITH THE CFOs, I MENTIONED YESTERDAY SIGNIFICANT WORK DONE BY MS. HEY G OOD AND HER TEAM MOVING THE BALL FORWARD.

WE COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE OF THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING MODEL.

SO, IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT A GOOD THING FOR THE SYSTEM AND CAMPUSES OVERALL TO HAVE THE ENROLLMENT DECLINES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN OUR MEETINGS BUT THE VALUE OF THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING MODEL VERSUS THE OLD ENROLLMENT-DRIVEN MODEL IS -- COULD NOT BE MORE CLEAR GIVEN THE DECLINES IN ENROLLMENT WE'RE SEEING, SO JUST TO PUT SOME HARD NUMBERS AROUND THAT, UNDER THE OLD MODEL THE ENROLLMENT-DRIVEN MODEL WE'D BE DOWN $62 MILLION IN INCREMENTAL FUNDING.

WITH PERFORMANCE WEIGHTING, ABILITY OF CAMPUSES TO GENERATE INCREMENTAL REVENUE THROUGH FACTORS OTHER THAN ENROLLMENT, THE NUMBER IS DOWN 36, SO THAT'S $26 MILLION ROUGHLY, A LITTLE BIT MORE, IN INCREMENTAL FUNDING, GENERATED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF FUNDING MODEL.

AND SHOWS THE MODEL IS DOING WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO DO, WHICH WAS MINIMIZE THE WHIP SAW CREATED BY THE OLD ENROLLMENT-DRIVEN MODEL.

THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION YESTERDAY ABOUT THE COMPLEXITY OF THE NEW MODEL.

IT'S NOT SIMPLE BUT A HECK OF A LOT MORE SIMPLE THAN THE OLD 12-SAW MATRIX.

THIRTEEN SCHOOLS DO BETTER UNDER THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING MODEL THAN UNDER THE OLD ENROLLMENT MODEL.

TWO SCHOOLS DO SLIGHTLY WORSE.

WE BELIEVE THE PERFORMANCE FUNDING MODEL IS A GOOD THING FOR THE SYSTEM AND THE CAMPUSES, AND THAT IT ACHIEVES ITS OBJECTIVE OF ALLOWING THE CAMPUSES TO GENERATE REVENUE THROUGH SOURCES OTHER THAN GROWTH IN ENROLLMENT WHILE ALIGNING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CAMPUSES WITH THE BROADER OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM.

SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

MS. HEYGOOD AND HER TEAM AND I ARE EAGER TO HAVE DISCUSSION WITH ANY CAMPUS, CHANCELLOR, CFO AND BOARD MEMBERS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

>> THANK YOU, LEE.

I DO BELIEVE THERE'S A MEETING OF CFOS, SHE WILL BE PUTTING FORTH EXAMPLES TO CLARIFY POINTS BACK ON CAMPUS AND ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP YESTERDAY.

SO, AGAIN, WE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

WE'RE GOING TO RESPOND TO ANY CONCERNS AND THOUGHTS.

IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION, EXACTLY WHAT SHOULD HAVE.

WE'LL BE WORKING AND I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY IF YOU DON'T HAVE CLARITY OR DON'T UNDERSTAND CALL LEE, CALL JENNIFER, DON'T CALL ME THEY ARE SMARTER THAN I AM.

THEY WILL WALK YOU THROUGH AND HELP YOU GET WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.

WE'RE COMMITTED, FOCUSED, WE'LL RESPOND TO ANY CONCERNS UNTIL PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY COMFORTABLE.

SO, THANKS TO EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU, LEE, JENNIFER, TO EVERYBODY FOR THE FEEDBACK YESTERDAY.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, CAN I ASK A QUESTION?

>> SURE.

>> CAN WE BE GIVEN AN IDEA WHAT IS OUR FINAL GOAL TO ACCOMPLISH IN REDOING THE FORMULA?

WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT TO SEE FROM IT?

I MEAN, I HEAR THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT CUTS IN FUNDING GOING TO THE UNIVERSITIES, AS FAR AS PERFORMANCE GOES.

WHAT IS OUR BOTTOM LINE AS TO WHAT WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH BY CHANGING THIS OLD OUTDATED FORMULA TO A NEW ONE?

>> YOU START AND I'LL FINISH ABOUT THAT.

>> UNDER THE FORMULA IN PLACE FOR A LONG TIME, REALLY THE ONLY WAY FOR THE CAMPUSES TO GROW THEIR RESOURCES IS BY GROWING ENROLLMENT.

AND NOT ONLY DOES THAT NOT DIRECTLY ALIGN THE INCENTIVES THAT THE CAMPUSES OPERATE UNDER WITH THE BROADER STRATEGIC GOALS OF THE SYSTEM, IT ALSO MEANS THAT IN AND ENVIRONMENT LIKE THE ONE IN WHICH WE FIND OURSELVES NOW, THE CAMPUSES FACE SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THEIR INCREMENTAL FUNDING.

AND SO THE OBJECTIVE OF THE NEW FORMULA IS TO MITIGATE THAT EFFECT, GIVE THE CAMPUSES A WAY TO EARN REVENUE THROUGH ACHIEVEMENT OF THESE PERFORMANCE METRICS, IN ADDITION TO THE FUNDING DRIVEN BY ENROLLMENT OR AS THE OLD MODEL WAS PURELY ENROLLMENT DRIVEN, AND PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE ALIGNED WITH THE STRATEGIC GOALS OF THE SYSTEM ENSHRINED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN ADOPTED BY THE BOARD THE SAME PERFORMANCE METRICS UNDER WHICH THE PRESIDENT OF THE SYSTEM OPERATES AND THEREFORE DRIVING GREATER ALIGNMENT ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

>> THANK YOU.

AND I THINK THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR THE PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA THAT WE ARE SEEKING TO IMPROVE THE FORMULA TO SEE TO IT THAT THE PEOPLE GET THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY PUMP INTO THE SYSTEM AND CONTINUE TO DO SO.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> A GREAT EXAMPLE WHY YOU HAVE LIE ON A COMMITTEE.

WHEN HE ANSWERS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW UP.

HE SAYS IT JUST RIGHT.

THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERED AND APPROVED PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF SECTION 600.1.1 TO REFLECT INCREASE IN BOARD'S AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FROM $2 MILLION TO $4 MILLION, INCORPORATE REVISIONS THAT WOULD ENABLE CAMPUSES WITH REQUISITE EXPERTISE TO SEEK AUTHORITY, RECOMMENDED TO THE FULL BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NEXT MEETING.

COMMITTEE APPROVED A NUMBER OF REQUESTS RELATED TO CAPITAL PROJECTS AND PROPERTY INCLUDING AUTHORIZATION OF 13 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, 8 INSTITUTIONS, $66.5 MILLION FOR NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS, INCREASED AUTHORIZATION, APPROVAL FOR DISPOSITION BY DEED OF 1.15 ACRES OF REAL PROPERTY AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY'S CENTENNIAL CAMPUS, APPROVAL FOR DISPOSITION FOR OPERATION OF A WEATHER TOWER AT CENTRAL CROPS RESEARCH STATION IN CLAYTON, NORTH CAROLINA, NINE ITEMS AT YESTERDAY'S MEETING, THREE ON CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED JUST MOMENTS AGO.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR HOLMES.

AGAIN, I WANT TO PUT AN EXPLANATION POINT ON THIS, THE WORK VICE CHAIR MURPHY IS DOING IS VERY IMPORTANT.

IT'S BEEN A HEAVY LIFT.

AND GOVERNOR HOLMES, GOVERNOR ROBERTS, AND MS. HEYGOOD PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO THIS.

I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK YET IN COMMITTEE MEETING.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE WORK.

I ENCOURAGE BOARD MEMBERS TO BE ACTIVE AND PARTICIPATE IN THESE MEETINGS.

EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT ON COMMITTEE, WE WILL RECOGNIZE YOU AND WELCOME YOU IN THOSE MEETINGS.

SO THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK WE WILL DO.

I WANT TO ECHO GOVERNOR HOLMES WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY.

IF IT IS NOT PERFECT, WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 50 MORE YEARS.

WE CAN CHANGE IT.

THIS BOARD HAS THAT AUTHORITY.

LET'S ALL KEEP THAT IN MIND AS WE WORK FORWARD.

I DO APPLAUD THE WORK THAT'S GOING ON.

I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE MAYA MARTIN FROM FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY, A STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT.

STAND UP.

SHE WORKS WITH STUDENTS DOWN THERE.

[APPLAUSE] WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE THIS MORNING.

I'M GLAD GOVERNOR BRADLEY POINTED OUT TO ME YOU ARRIVED.

I'D LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR SLOAN FOR REPORT ON COMMITTEE ON ED PLANNING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS.

>> THANK YOU.

THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS APPROVED ARTICULATION ANNUAL REPORT, NECESSARY REVISIONS TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM AND NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.

REQUESTS FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF TWO ACADEMIC DEGREE PROGRAMS WAS RECOMMENDED.

ALL ITEMS WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA.

THE COMMITTEE HEARD PROGRESS REPORT ON EFFORTS TO IMPROVE EDUCATION, EDUCATOR PREPARATION IN EARLY LITERACY ACROSS THE URNING SYSTEM FOLLOWED BY THE PREPARATION REPORTS.

THE PROPOSED REVISION TO SECTION 400.1.5 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL POLICY ON FOSTERING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUCCESS WAS APPROVED, AND WILL BE ON CONSENT AGENDA NEXT MONTH.

700.1.3 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL, POLICY OUT OF STATE UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT CAPS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU.

I'LL MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT COMMITTEE MEETING YESTERDAY AS WELL.

ANYONE WHO WAS IN IT, FAIRLY SPIRITED, TERRIFIC AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THERE.

IF YOU LOOK THROUGH YOUR BOARD PACKAGE, THIS COMMITTEE IS DOING A HECK OF A LOT OF WORK TOO.

DISCUSSION ABOUT RAISING THE OUT OF STATE CAP ON FIVE SCHOOLS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I COMMEND CHAIR SLOAN FOR NOT TAKING A VOTE YESTERDAY SO WE COULD HEAR FROM CHANCELLORS, BOARD MEMBERS, THE PRESIDENT.

WE ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BE PRESENT FOR THOSE DISCUSSIONS.

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR COWARD PLEASE.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MR. WOOD TO GIVE THE REPORT FROM THE UNC STAFF ASSEMBLY PLEASE.

>> GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

GOVERNOR COWARD AND THE BOARD FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK AGAIN ON BEHALF OF THE UNC SYSTEM STAFF ASSEMBLY.

THIS WILL BE BRIEF.

I PROMISE.

SO, A FORMER COLLEAGUE ONCE TOLD ME PEOPLE PUT MONEY, SUPPORT, AND RESOURCES INTO WHAT THEY VALUE.

WHO IS PUTTING MONEY, SUPPORT, RESOURCES INTO YOU?

AT FIRST I WAS OFFENDED.

BUT THEN I STARTED TO WATCH.

WHO IS PUTTING MONEY INTO ME?

ON A BROADER SCALE, WHO IS PUTTING MONEY, RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT INTO THE STAFF OF THE UNC SYSTEM?

OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, ADDRESSING THIS BOARD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IN CONVERSATIONS WITH PRESIDENT HANS, I MENTIONED SEVERAL THINGS.

STAFF RETENTION, SALARY EQUITY, ELIMINATING 20% THRESHOLD ON STAFF SALARIES, CAMPUS SUPPORT FOR STAFF SENATES, INCREASED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, INCREASE IN TOTAL HIRING AND PROMOTION, INNOVATION IN CREATING PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WHERE NONE EXIST, AND SUPPORT FOR THE JANET ROYSTER SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

THIS PAST YEAR THE UNC SYSTEM NOT ONLY EXPRESSED YOUR SUPPORT FOR STAFF BUT SHOWED HOW MUCH YOU VALUE THE STAFF WITH SUPPORT AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE SYSTEM AND FUNDING.

WITH THE PAST TWO STATE BUDGETS, BOTH EHRA NONFACULTY AND SHRA STAFF RECEIVED LEGISLATIVE INCREASED.

RETAINING OUR TALENTED STAFF WITHIN THE UNC SYSTEM IS NOW A TOP PRIORITY AT EVERY LEVEL.

INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT TO THE LOCAL STAFF CENTERS HAS INCREASED.

THERE'S CURRENTLY DISCUSSION ON CREATING A STAFF RETENTION FUND, ENABLING THE SCHOOLS TO RETAIN QUALITY STAFF WITHIN THE UNC SYSTEM.

THE 20% PRE-APPROVAL THRESHOLD FOR SHRA EMPLOYEE PROMOTIONAL ACTIONS WAS REMOVED.

REPLACED WITH APPROVAL THRESHOLD THAT IS BASED ENTIRELY ON THE PROPOSED NEW SALARY AND PERCENTAGE ABOVE THE CLASSIFICATION MARKET RATE.

FOR EHA NONFACULTY EMPLOYEES, UNIVERSITIES WERE PERMITTED TO STOP USING CURRENT SALARIES AND SALARY CONSIDERATIONS, FOR INTERNAL HIRING.

INSTEAD, THEY NOW FOCUS ON THE EMPLOYEE'S POSITIONING WITHIN THE NEW SALARY RANGE, AND THE PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.

THIS IMPROVED EQUITY OF OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CANDIDATES.

AND TO CAP IT OFF, LAST MONTH THE ASSEMBLY HAD ONE OF THE BEST CHANCELLORS CUPS GOLF TOURNAMENT FUNDRAISERS IN 10-YEAR HISTORY.

THIS YEAR WITH THE SUPPORT OF EVERY LEVEL OF THIS SYSTEM AND SPONSORSHIPS WE RAISE THE $93,750 IN THIS TOURNAMENT ALONE.

[APPLAUSE] THIS IS FOR THE JANET B. ROYSTER MEMORIAL STAFF SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

IF I MAY, THIS BOARD AND THE SYSTEMS OFFICE TO DATE, DONATIONS STILL COMING IN, DONATED OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS $24,500.

BY FIELDING TEAMS AND SPONSORSHIPS ALL 17 CHANCELLORS AND INSTITUTIONS HAVE RAISED $37,000 AS OF TODAY.

TODAY I SIMPLY CAME TO SAY THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR NOT ONLY SAYING YOU SUPPORT STAFF BUT SHOWING HOW MUCH YOU VALUE THE STAFF OF THE UNC SYSTEM.

THIS CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, MS. WOODS.

I SPEAK FOR ALL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR STAFF ACROSS THE SYSTEM AND WE'RE PLEASED WE WERE ABLE TO HELP WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP FUND AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

I'D LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR WILLIFORD FOR REPORT ON MILITARY AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> A SHOUT OUT TO KURT BRADLEY, INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING ROUND UP AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF TERRIBLE GOLFERS ALL AT ONE PLACE.

[LAUGHTER] AND I CAN ASSURE EVERYBODY HERE THAT PRESIDENT HANS WAS ON MY TEAM, HE HAS NOT BEEN SLACKING ON HIS DUTIES.

HIS GOLF GAME REFLECTED THAT.

[LAUGHTER] QUITE FRANKLY HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE.

[LAUGHTER] BUT THANK YOU FOR THAT.

BUT A GOOD TIME WAS HAD, WE RAISED A LOT OF MONEY.

GOOD JOB FOR EVERYBODY.

>> ONE THING, IF YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED GOLF WITH MIKE WILLIFORD, YOU NEED A MOMENT OF COMEDIC RELIEF, SIGN UP NEXT YEAR.

IT'S SPECIAL.

>> WE HAD A GOOD TIME.

THANK YOU, CHAIR.

FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, COMMITTEE ON MILITARY AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS REVIEWED ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE SINCE THE LAST MEETING IN JULY, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS PRESENTED ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2021-22.

WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM FEDERAL RELATIONS STAFF, VICE PRESIDENT UPDATED THE COMMITTEE FROM DC, APPROPRIATION, BUDGETS, KEY LEGISLATION.

AND UPDATE FROM THE MILITARY AFFAIRS STAFF, DIRECTORY OF MILITARY PARTNERSHIPS, UPDATED COMMITTEE ON THE UNC SYSTEMS AFFAIRS TEAMS, AIMED AT SUPPORTING MILITARY AFFILIATED STUDENTS AND STRATEGIC GOALS THEREOF.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR HIM?

WE'LL MOVE ON, GOVERNOR POWERS REPORT ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.

>> THANK YOU.

YESTERDAY THE COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES HELD ITS SECOND IN A SERIES OF MEETINGS EXAMINING THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP FOCUSING ON KEY ROLE SEARCH PROCESS AND COMMITTEES PLAY IN ARTICULATING AND THEN IDENTIFYING THE LEADERSHIP PROFILE, LISTS OF SKILLS, ATTRIBUTES AND EXPERIENCES THE UNIVERSITY IS LOOKING FOR.

AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT STEP, PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME TO A COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE ROLE REQUIRES AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO POTENTIAL CANDIDATES, WHAT TO COMMITTEE IS LOOKING FOR.

IT ALSO BECOMES RUBRIC AGAINST WHICH POTENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE JUDGED, A TOOL FOR IDENTIFYING THE NEXT LEADER IN THE PROCESS.

JOINED BY DR. ROD McDAVIS WHO RUNS ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNING BOARDS EXECUTIVE SEARCH PRACTICE, PROVIDING A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON COMMON ATTRIBUTES INCLUDED IN PROFILES AS WELL AS POLICY AND PRACTICES THAT HELP TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL SEARCH.

HE POINTED OUT HOW SKILLS RELATED TO INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION, MANAGEMENT OF ISSUES RELATED TO "DIFFERENT DIVERSITD INCLUSION HAVE TAKEN ON PROMINENCE, THE NEED TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR AGREED-UPON UNDERSTANDING AND OUTLINED SERIES OF REFORMS TO POLICY AND PRACTICE THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS SHOULD CONSIDER, IN PARTICULAR HE ENCOURAGED US TO CONSIDER DEFINING LEADERSHIP PILLARS.

CORE CHARACTERISTICS THAT REFLECT PREFERENCES OF THE SYSTEM AND STATE THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT ACROSS SEARCH PROCESSES.

HE ALSO CITED SEARCH PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM WHERE THE SYSTEM LEADER AND CHAIR OF THE SYSTEM BOARD ARE NONVOTING EX OFFICIO MEMBERS OF ALL COMMITTEES TO CONSIDER.

HE ENCOURAGED TO CONSIDER OPINIONS OF CONSTITUENCIES OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITY INCLUDING POLICYMAKERS IN DEVELOPING LEGISLATIVE PILLARS.

HE GAVE US A NUMBER OF CONCRETE POLICY IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT AS WE CONTINUE OUR WORK.

I LOOK FORWARD TO DIGGING IN, IN FUTURE MEETINGS.

CONCLUDED WITH PANEL OF CURRENT AND FORMER TRUSTEES, INCLUDING JAN KING ROBINSON, MIKE WILSON FORMER TRUSTEE AT UNC CHARLOTTE, AND SUSAN SAFFRON, FORMER TRUSTEE AT UNC GREENSBORO.

EACH HIGHLIGHTED IMPORTANCE OF LISTENING IN THE EARLY STAGES O ENSURE A PROFILE THAT REFLECTS NEEDS OF THE INSTITUTION.

WE ALSO DISCUSSED NEED TO THINK ABOUT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESSION PLANNING TO ENSURE A PIPELINE OF FUTURE LEADERS.

I'M GRATEFUL TO SPEAKERS FOR PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION AND WE'LL CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION AT OUR NOVEMBER MEETING IN GREENVILLE, AGAIN WE'LL BE JOINED BY MARK BECKER, FORMER PRESIDENT OF GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, ALONG WITH A PANEL OF SITTING CHANCELLORS IN OUR SYSTEM TO REFLECT UPON HOW THE ROLE HAS CHANGED DURING THEIR TENURES, AND A PANEL OF FACULTY MEMBERS FROM AROUND THE SYSTEM.

THANK YOU.

THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POWERS.

IT WAS REALLY GOOD CONVERSATION YESTERDAY IN THAT MEETING.

I APPLAUD YOU AND DR. KELLY FOR SUCH GOOD SPEAKERS.

THE LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING.

THAT'S WHAT I HEARD SO LOUD AND CLEAR YESTERDAY, SKILL FOR CHANCELLORS AND LEADERSHIP ACROSS OUR SYSTEM ARE DIFFERENT THAN A DECADE AGO.

I THINK SOME CHANCELLORS WHO CAME A DECADE WOULD ECHO SOME SAME THINGS.

NEXT MONTH WILL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR FROM THEM AND GETTING THEIR PERSPECTIVES.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF HAVING TALENT IN THE PIPELINE, LEADERSHIP ACROSS OUR CAMPUSES, NOT JUST IN THE CHANCELLOR'S POSITION.

I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US TO HELP SHAPE THIS POLICY GOING FORWARD SO WE DO THAT.

I KNOW WE ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS FOR FUTURE INITIATIVES.

I DO HOPE EVERYBODY WILL CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE.

THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POWERS, FOR LEADING THAT EFFORT.

NOW I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLLEY FOR THE REPORT ON HMSI.

>> THANK YOU.

DURING ITS MEETING YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE ON HISTORICALLY MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS DISCUSSED THE RISKS HMS FACE.

AS HIGHER EDUCATION CONTINUES TO EVOLVE NEW RISKS WILL EMERGE, KNOWN RISKS WILL TAKE NEW FORMS.

UNIVERSITIES HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO BE MORE RESILIENT, IN THE FACE OF RISK AS THEY EMBRACE A CHALLENGING FUTURE.

FIRST WE HEARD FROM FRED SELLERS, VICE PRESIDENT FOR SAFETY, ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT AT THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE, ON THE SYSTEM RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS.

FOLLOWED BY ALVIN GOODSON, GENERAL COUNSEL AT ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY.

MR. GOODSON DISCUSSED E.R.M LIFE CYCLE AT ELIZABETH CITY, INCORPORATING RISK MANAGEMENT INTO THE STRATEGIC PLAN AND DEPARTMENTAL GOALS.

THEN OUR HMSI CHANCELLOR PARTICIPATED IN A ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION AND SHARED SEVERAL RISKS RELATED TO STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND RETENTION, HUMAN RESOURCES, FUNDING, AND MENTAL HEALTH.

SOME OF THE SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS AND STRATEGIES CHANCELLORS PRESENTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING.

GAP IN MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS TO COVER STUDENT FINANCIAL NEEDS, STAFFING SUPPORT FOR MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, AND COUNSELORS, RESOURCES FOR STUDENT RECRUITMENT, STAFFING, AND TECHNOLOGY; GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR RECRUITING AND RETAINING TOP TALENT; AND FUNDING TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURE PARTNERSHIPS THAT LEAD TO INTERNSHIPS, RESEARCHE AND STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES.

IT WAS INDEED AN HONOR TO HAVE ALL SIX OF OUR HMSI CHANCELLORS CONVENED IN ONE SETTING ON YESTERDAY, TO PRESENT TO THIS COMMITTEE.

AS I STATED YESTERDAY, WE NEED STRONG HMSIs FOR STRONG UNC SYSTEM.

MR. CHAIRMAN, BEFORE CONCLUDING, I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK OUR LEAD STAFF, DR. ROBERTSON, FOR MANAGING YESTERDAY'S INITIATIVE AND MEETING, AND AS ALWAYS, MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT THAT EXTEND TO THIS INITIATIVE.

THAT COMPLETES MY REPORT, SIR.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR HOLLEY.

YESTERDAY, THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD MEETING TOO.

I APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP, GOVERNOR HOLLEY.

ONE THING THAT REALLY STUCK WITH ME YESTERDAY WAS SOMETHING CHANCELLOR CUMMINGS SAID.

WE SPOKE WITH HIM BRIEFLY LAST NIGHT.

HE TALKED ABOUT PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS HELPING THE STUDENTS.

THEY WERE INITIATING SOME OF THAT.

I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO WATCH.

CHANCELLOR CUMMINGS LAST NIGHT WAS A LITTLE MORE OPEN WITH SOME OF HIS REMARKS THAN HE WOULD BE IN A BOARD MEETING ABOUT SUCCESS OR NOT SUCCESS OF SOME OTHER ADVISERS, BUT HE POINTED TO I BELIEVE GEORGIA STATE, IS THAT RIGHT, CHANCELLOR?

THAT HAS HAD REMARKABLE RESULTS WITH THIS.

SO I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON AND POTENTIALLY I HOPE SOME UNIVERSITIES MAY ADOPT THAT STRATEGY.

THANK YOU, AGAIN, GOVERNOR HOLLEY.

I WOULD NOW ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION.

>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, I MOVE WE GO INTO CLOSED SESSION, 143-748 FOR THE PURPOSES IN THE MOTION IN THE MEETING MATERIALS PUBLICLY MADE AVAILABLE.

WE'VE GOT ABOUT NINE FOLKS I'M TRYING TO ROUND YOU, YOU TOLD ME YOU'RE HAPPY TO CONTRIBUTE, TWO PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY WOULD, ONE CONFIRMED HE HAS DONE THAT TODAY.

SO I JUST WILL SEND A TEXT TO EACH OF YOU, TO GIVE YOU THE DONATION PAGE AND I THINK WHATEVER YOU DO, THE FACT WE WERE 100 SUPPORTED IS IMPORTANT TO THE STAFF ASSEMBLY.

MIKE'S TEAM WON FUN AFFORD, IT'S HARD TO COMPETE WITH GOVERNOR WILLIFORD.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

I APPLAUD YOUR EFFORTS ON THIS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR BUSINESS.

NEXT MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.

WE STAND ADJOURNED.
