QUALITY PUBLIC TELEVISON IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF VIEWERS LIKE YOU WHO INVITE YOU TO JOIN THEM IN SUPPORTING PBS NC.

[BRIGHT MUSIC] [STATELY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC] ♪ >> THAT BEFORE, SO I THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE IT.

I FEEL LIKE A MOVIE STAR NOW THAT WE GRADUATED OR SOMETHING.

GOOD MORNING, WHAT A GREAT CROWD WE HAVE AROUND THE TABLE, WHICH IS ALWAYS ENCOURAGING.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS WEEK AT UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA GREENSBORO.

WHAT A TERRIFIC WEEK WE HAVE HAD.

[APPLAUSE] >> I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN IN A MINUTE.

I CAN'T HELP BUT GO OFF SCRIPT A BIT.

CHANCELLOR GILEAN DECIDED TO SEE HOW MUCH WEIGHT WE COULD GAIN WHILE HERE.

THERE IS NO LACK OF FOOD.

HIS HOSPITALITY AND CIGAR CONTENT WAS LOUDLY APPLAUDED.

NOW I SEE WHY HIS WIFE MAKES HIM HAVE A TENT OUTSIDE.

THE STUDENT PRESENTATIONS YESTERDAY AT LUNCH WERE REMARKABLE.

THE CHANCELLOR WAS SITTING CLOSE TO ME.

I REACHED ACROSS AND SAID THESE ARE THREE RANDOM STUDENTS FROM GMC?

HE SAID COMPLETELY RANDOM.

WE PICKED THEM OFF THE STREET.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE THE LIVES CHANGED AT UMC GREENSBORO.

FOR THE BOARD AND STAFF, I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL INCLUDING THE CHAIR HERE THIS MORNING, FOR THEM TO HAVE US IN THEIR BACKYARD FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, AND THE TRAVELING CIRCUS WE BRING WITH US IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

I'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER ON AND CLAP AGAIN FOR HIM.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOTICE REPRESENTATIVES PICKET AND HARDSTER, IF YOU WOULD AT LEAST WAVE TO US?

[APPLAUSE] >> I TELL YOU, YESTERDAY IN OUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS, THERE WAS QUITE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT LEGISLATURE AND SUPPORTING THE UNC SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE SUPPORT WE HAVE SEEN.

THESE TWO GENTLEMEN ARE CHAMPIONS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, MAKE SURE YOU SAY HELLO TO THEM, IF YOU HAVEN'T INTRODUCED YOURSELVES.

THEY ARE GOOD GUYS.

THEY CONTINUE TO HELP MOVE US FORWARD.

SECOND, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE GOLD SHEET OF PAPER IN THE BLUE FOLDER.

IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED THAT OUT, THAT'S THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, YOU HAVE TO FILL THAT OUT BECAUSE WE ARE LICENSED TO OPERATE A TELEVISION STATION TRANSMITTER, PBS NC STATE WIDE EDUCATIONAL NETWORK.

THE FCC REQUIRES US TO REPORT INFORMATION ABOUT EACH OF OUR MEMBERS ABOUT THE BOARD ANNUALLY AND BY ANNUALLY.

I'M SURE MR. CRABTREE WOULD APPRECIATE KEEPING HIM ON THE AIR.

IF YOU HAVE CHANGE OF INFORMATION AS, AND PASS THAT ALONG, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

THIRD, WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST IN THE AUDIENCE, CHANCELLOR KIMBERLY VAN NORTH IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY.

IF YOU WOULD HELP ME RECOGNIZE HER BIRTHDAY.

[APPLAUSE] >> I TELL YOU, CHANCELLOR, I THINK SOME OF YOUR TRUSTEES RATTED YOU OUT ON THAT.

YOU CAN BE MAD WITH THEM.

FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE COMMITTEE CHAIRS TO GIVE REPORTS FROM THEIR SEA SEATS THIS MORNING.

I CALL ON GOVERNOR WHITE TO LEAD THE INVOCATION.

>> PLEASE BOW YOUR HEADS.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN US TODAY SAFELY AND PREPARED TO DO IMPORTANT WORK.

AS WE ENTER THIS WEEK OF THANKSGIVING, ACCEPT OUR HEARTFELT GRATITUDE FOR THE BLESSINGS YOU HAVE GIVEN US, OUR SYSTEM, STATE AND NATION.

HELP US KEEP THESE THINGS AT THE FRONT OF YOUR MIND.

IN YOUR NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.

>> THANK YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON SECRETARY BURRIS-FLOYD WHO WILL CALL THE ROLLAND HAS PR BRIEF REMARKS.

>> CHANCELLOR BURRIS-FLOYD: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

I AM EXCITED AND ELATED TO BE HERE TODAY.

MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT IN JULY, MOST OF YOU SAT AROUND AND WATCHED ME HAVE A LITTLE INCIDENT THAT REQUIRED ME TO BE BEDRIDDEN AND TAKEN CARE OF FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE SOMETIME ALSO YOU FORGET TO DO THOSE LITTLE THINGS THAT MEAN SO MUCH.

IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR ALL OF YOU STANDING AROUND ME, SUPPORTING ME, MAKING SURE I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL, MAKING SURE THAT EVEN AFTER THAT, YOU CONTINUED TO CALL ME, TO SUPPORT ME, TO PRAY FOR ME AND KEEP ME LIFTED UP.

I SAY TO ALL OF YOU, THANK YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU.

I PRAY THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO SHOW EACH OTHER LOVE AND SUPPORT WHENEVER WE NEED IT, BECAUSE IT MEANS SO MUCH.

I COULDN'T HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU.

I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T HAVE TO.

IT'S GOOD TO STAND, SIT AND MOVE AROUND AND HUG ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE AND IN SUPPORT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'M GOING TO STOP BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO CALL THE ROLL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

READY FOR THE ROLL.

>> THANK YOU.

ALL VOTING MEMBERS AND BOARD OF GOVERNORS ARE COVERED BY THE ACT, YOU HAVE A DUTY TO AVOID CONFLICTS AND APPEARANCE OF CONFLICTS.

LOOKING AT TODAY'S MEETING, DO YOU HAVE A CONFLICT OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO THE PEASHES APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT?

SEEING, NO, WE'LL CONTINUE TO MEETING.

WE ASK THOSE ATTENDING TODAY REMAIN RESPECTFUL OF FELLOW ATTEND DAYS AND THE BOARD.

THOSE ATTENDING THE MEETING MAY NOT ENGAGE IN CONDUCT THAT INTERFERES WITH OTHERS THAT CAUSE OTHERS TO MISS THE MEETING.

ANYONE DISRUPTING, WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE OR ARRESTED.

WE'LL GIVE ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO CHANCELLOR GILEAN AND FACULTY AND STAFF.

[APPLAUSE] >> CHANCELLOR, WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S GONE INTO THE PLANNING HOST OF THE EVENT.

IT'S AN UNDERTAKING ESPECIALLY ADDING A TRUSTEE WORKSHOP TO THE BEGINNING OF IT.

I MIGHT MENTION I WAS THRILLED WITH THE NUMBER OF TRUSTEES THAT CAME HERE AND WE HAVE HAD TERRIFIC FEEDBACK.

ALL OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE WORK YOUR STAFF WENT INTO TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL WEEK.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE PART OF THE CAMPUS LIGHT EVEN FOR A FEW DAYS FL DAYS.NT I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND VISION WHICH WE HAVE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

UNC GREENSBORO IS ONE THAT CREATED A CONSOLIDATED SYSTEM 1962 TO 1993.

IT CONTINUES TO PLAY A ROLE IN THE UNC SYSTEM AND MISSION TODAY.

WE HAVE HEARD A LOT OF SPEECHES THIS WEEK SO YOU WON'T HEAR A LOT FROM ME.

TWO THINGS I WANT TO LEAVE THE BOARD WITH BEFORE PARTING TODAY.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE STRATEGIC GOALS.

WE HAVE SEEN THE IMPACT BEYOND THE WALLS IS DOING.

YOU SEE IT EVERYDAY AS YOU WALK AROUND THE CAMPUS AND THE FACES OF THE STUDENTS WITH US AT LUNCH YESTERDAY.

FACES OF STUDENTS THAT CAME HERE LOOKING TOWARD A BRIGHT FUTURE, FACES OF THOSE THAT HAVE FULL WORK AND OPPORTUNITY.

THIS IS A CAMPUS UPWARDLY MOBILE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE SEE THE REAL LIFE IMPACT OF THAT AS WE SIT HERE TODAY.

IT'S A GREAT REMINDER TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE WORK OF THE UNIVERSITY, COMMITMENT TO ACCESS, STUDENT SUCCESS AND AFFORDABILITY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT LIVED OUT EVERYDAY AT UNC GREENSBORO.

STRATEGIC GOALS ARE NOT JUST WORDS ON PAPER.

THEY ARE ACTIONS THAT EMPOWERS STUDENTS AND FAMILY ACROSS THE STATE.

UNC GREENSBORO REMIND US US THAT DREAMS ARE WITHIN REACH FOR ALL STUDENTS IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE.

THEY ARE WITHIN REACH AS WE OPEN PATHWAYS, KEEP COSTS LOW AND MAKE SURE THE DEGREES BENEFIT GRADUATES.

I HAVE TO STOP THERE FOR A MOMENT.

I HAD A BOARD MEMBER COME TO ME YESTERDAY TO SAY HE WAS LITERALLY BROUGHT TO TEARS BY THE STORIES HE WAS HEARING BY THE YOUNG PEOPLE AT THE TABLE.

THAT IS POWERFUL.

I THINK IT'S EASY FOR US.

I TOLD THE PRESIDENT YESTERDAY, IT'S EASY FOR US TO GET IN OUR OFFICES IN RALEIGH AND LOSE SIGHT OF THAT.

WHEN YOU CAN, PLEASE VISIT THE CAMPUSES.

PLEASE VISIT WHEN WE TRAVEL EACH YEAR, WHICH BRINGS ME TH THE SECOND POINT.

OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE PARTNERS IN IMPLEMENTING THE GOALS.

MANY OF YOU JOINED US IN THE TRUSTEE WORKSHOPS AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUTLINE THE ROLES OF GOVERNANCE.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE TRUSTEES HERE AND THE COMMITMENT THEY HAVE SERVING AND SUPPORTING THE INSTITUTIONS.

THE LEADERS IN A STATEWIDE PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION GOVERNING SYSTEM THAT WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR.

AS WE LEAVE TODAY, LET'S BE THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE TO SERVE AND REFLECT ON THE WAYS WE CAN COLLABORATE TOGETHER IN THE COMING YEAR.

LET'S STAY FOCUSED AND PULL TOGETHER.

WE KNOW IF WE DO, ALL NORTH CAROLINIANS WILL BENEFIT.

WITH THAT, I'LL RECOGNIZE PRESIDENT HANS.

>> AMEN, MR. CHAIRMAN.

IT HAS BEEN A GREAT FEW DAYS IN GREENSBORO.

I ADD MY THANKS TO CHANCELLOR GILLIAM AS AN EXCELLENT HOST.

TRY AS WE MIGHT, WE ARE NOT LOW-KEY HOUSE GUESTS AND I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT GOES INTO WELCOMING THIS GROUP TO CAMPUS AND THE TRUSTEES, MR. CHAIRMAN, AS YOU KNOW, IN A BUSY SMALL SEMESTER.

UNC GREENSBORO IS GOOD AT ROLLING OUT THE WELCOMING MATT.

MANY ARE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO COLLEGE AND KNOW WE'LL DELIVER ON THE FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO HIGHER EDUCATION.

STUDENTS ARE LOOKING FOR A LIFE CHANGEABLE OPPORTUNITY, AFFORDABLE EDUCATION TO DELIVER BETTER CAREER PROSPECTS, DEEPEN SOCIAL CONNECTIONS AND THE CAPACITY TO HANDLE LIFE'S CHALLENGES WITH CONFIDENCE.

IN JUST ABOUT EVERY WAY YOU CAN MEASURE UNC GREENSBORO IS MEETING THE MEASURE, HELPING STUDENTS INTO BETTER JOBS AND CAREERS.

UNCG RANKS AMONG THE BEST PERFORMERS IN THE STATE.

THE SAME IS COMING TO MANY STUDENTS OF BACKGROUNDS.

THE UNIVERSITY MAKES ALL OF THAT HAPPEN WITH LOW COST AND LOW STUDENT DEBT.

WHEN WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GREENSBORO.

A UNIVERSITY WITH A BROAD MANDATE TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITY, ADAPT TO A STATE THAT'S GROWING MORE DIVERSE, AN ECONOMY GROWING MORE DYNAMIC AND POPULATION THAT DEMANDS MORE FLEXIBLE OPTIONS.

UNIVERSITIES GET DINGED FOR SLOW MOTIVATION, BUT YOU SEE THE BEST OF PUBLIC EDUCATION ABILITY TO MEET CHANGING PUBLIC NEEDS.

UNCG IS GRADUATING STUDENTS INTO NURSING AND EDUCATION, AND HIGH VALUE ONLINE PROGRAMS FROM PUBLIC HEALTH TO BUSINESS ANALYTICS, AND WELCOME TRANSFER STUDENTS AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDENTS.

THESE ARE ALL CRITICAL PRIORITIES FOR SERVING A STATE LIKE NORTH CAROLINA WHERE THERE ARE HUGE NEEDS FOR TALENT AND OUR TRADITIONAL PIPELINE OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES GETS SMALLER OVER TIME.

ADAPTING TO THE LONG RANGE TRENDS IS THE GREAT WORK OF HIGHER EDUCATION RIGHT NOW.

I'M PROUD OF THE PRAGMATIC SPIRIT THAT UNCG IS ANSWERING THAT CALL.

THERE IS OFTEN AN ASSUMPTION THAT DELIVERING A STRONG RETURN ON INVESTMENT MEANS MOVING AWAY FROM OUR TRADITIONAL MISSION, DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.

WHAT WE SEE IN THE DATA SHARED THIS WEEK AND EXPERIENCE SHARED WITH UNC GREENSBORO IS THAT A BROAD, RIGOROUS EDUCATION IS VALUABLE AS IT HAS EVER BEEN.

THE THINGS WE DO BEST IN HIGHER EDUCATION, EXPOSING STUDENTS TO A WIDE ARRAY OF IDEAS AND EXPERTISE, CHALLENGING THEM TO THINK CRITICALLY AND RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER ON A DEEP LEVEL, THOSE ARE ONLY GETTING MORE CRUCIAL AS TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATES, CAREERS CHANGE, AND OUR STATE WELCOMES PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

IT'S A JOY TO SEE THE AGE OLD MISSION COME ALIVE IN GREENSBORO AS IT DOES EVERYDAY ACROSS OUR SYSTEM.

I BELIEVE IN THE "G." GO SPARTANS.

>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

AS ALWAYS, TERRIFIC REMARKS.

>> NOW IS ONE OF THE TIMES OF THE YEAR I ENJOY MORE THAN ANYTHING WE DO OR AS MUCH AS ANYTHING WE DO, I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR HUTCHINS TO ANNOUNCE THE UNC POLICE AWARD WINNERS FOR THIS YEAR.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I FEEL WEIRD WITH MY BACK TO THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

CAN I MOVE TO LOOK AT THEM?

WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

[LAUGHTER ] >> GOOD MORNING.

[APPLAUSE] >> NEXT, LIEUTENANT TED JOHNSON, UNC SCHOOL OF THE ARTS.

LITTLE JOHNSON IS A ROLE MODEL OFFICER WITH A SPECIAL KNACK FOR CONNECTING STUDENTS.

HE VISITS THE DINING HALLIDAYLY TO ENGAGE IN TRIVIA WITH STUDENTS.

HE IS A BRIDGE BUILDER BETWEEN THE STUDENT BODY AND UNIVERSITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE OTHER AGENCIES.

THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT JOHNSON.

[APPLAUSE] >> NEXT, THIS IS A DOUBLE.

RECENTLY, HE WORKED TO DEVELOP A TRAINING PROGRAM FOR RAPE AGGRESSION, DEFENSE CLASSES.

HE HAS BEEN PROACTIVE, MAKING DIGNITARY VISITS ON CAMPUS RUN MORE SMOOTHLY AND TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SEARCH WARRANT PROCESS IN ORANGE COUNTY AND MAKES PRACTICES RUN SMOOTHLY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

[APPLAUSE] >> THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OUR CAMPUS POLICE PEOPLE WHO PERFORM VALIANTLY, AND WITHOUT RECOGNITION AND WITHOUT ASKING FOR RECOGNITION.

TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO RECOGNIZE ONE IN PARTICULAR WHO WE ARE GOING TO AWARD THE ACT OF VALOR.

THIS AWARD GOES TO OFFICER JONATHAN HILL IN WILMINGTON.

NOVEMBER 4TH LAST YEAR, OFFICER HILL RESPONDED TO A REPORT OF A SUICIDAL PERSON AT A PARKING DECK.

WHEN HE ARRIVED ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF THE DECK, HE SAW TWO PEOPLE SITTING ON THE LEDGE.

ONE OF THEM VISIBLY AGITATED WITH ONE LEG HANGING OFF OF THE DECK.

OFFICER HILL TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO TALK THE STUDENT INTO MOVING AWAY FROM THE LEDGE, BUT TO NO AVAIL.

NOTICING THE STUDENT WAS WEARING A STURDY BELT, OFFICER HILL MOVED CLOSER AND WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE BELT WHEN THE STUDENT ATTEMPTED TO JUMP.

OFFICER HILL PULLED THE STUDENT TO SAFETY DURING A STRUGGLE.

WHILE WAITING FOR EMS, HE MAINTAINED A DIALOGUE TO CALM THE STUDENT.

HIS QUICK THINKING AND ACTION, PREVENTED A SUICIDE OR SERIOUS INJURY.

HIS DEMEANOR WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN THE STUDENT AGREEING TO SEEK MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT VOLUNTARILY.

WHAT A JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE.

I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD IN SAYING WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES DO.

WE HAVE TERRIFIC OFFICERS ON OUR CAMPUSES.

WE ARE EXTREMELY INDEBTED TO EVERYTHING YOU DO EVERYDAY.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

NOW, WE'LL MOVE TO THE REGULAR PART OF THE AGENDA, CONSIDER ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM SIX ON THE DAY.

ANY ITEMS MEMBERS WISH TO REMOVE FOR DISCUSSION?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, A-3, PLEASE.

>> A-3.

OKAY.

DULY NOTED.

OUTSIDE OF -- I'M NOT SURE WHERE A-3 IS.

>> I DON'T SEE A-3.

>> WHAT IS THE TITLE, MR. FORD?

IT MAY BE LISTED DIFFERENTLY HERE?

>> MY AGENDA HAS POLICY LIMIT FOR THE FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT.

IT'S THE OUT OF STATE -- 6-B?

MY APOLOGIES, 6-B, OUT OF STATE ENROLLMENT CAP.

>> WE'LL REMOVE 6-B FROM THE AGENDA.

WITH 6-B REMOVED, ARE THERE OTHER ITEMS TO REMOVE FOR DISCUSSION?

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS THE REMAINING ITEMS ON THE CONSENT GAINED.

AGENDA.

>> SO MOVED.

>> SECOND?

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THE MOTION PASSES.

NOW WE'LL CONSIDER ITEM 6-B ON THE AGENDA.

DO WE HAVE -- WE NEED A MOTION AND SECOND BEFORE WE DO DISCUSSION.

IS THAT RIGHT, MR. TRIPP?

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> I NEED A MOTION TO PASS THIS ITEM.

SO MOVED?

DO WE HAVE A SECOND?

NOW WE'LL RECOGNIZE GOVERNOR FORD FOR DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, COLLEAGUES.

I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS ACTION IN THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION.

I THINK THIS POLICY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED.

I WOULD APPRECIATE THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION GOING FORWARD IN 2024.

>> DULY NOTED, GOVERNOR FORD, I'M SURE THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE IS IN THE ROOM.

WE'LL TAKE THAT UNDER CONSIDERATION.

I THINK GOVERNOR WHITE MAY HAVE HAD A COMMENT ON THIS POLICY.

>> YES, AND I DEPARTMENT KNOW GOVERNOR FORD WOULD REMOVE THAT.

IT'S NOT CHOREOGRAPHED.

I APPRECIATE HIM DOING SO.

MY FATHER GRADUATED FROM PAMCO COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL IN 1960.

HAVING NEVER HEARD THE WORD "COLLEGE" BEFORE, ATTENDING COLLEGE WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR HIM.

HE, LIKE MANY OF HIS CLASSMATES ENROLLED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY, HONORABLY DISCHARGED A FEW YEARS LATER AND ENTERED THE WORKFORCE WORKING THE NIGHT SHIFT FOR FIVE MORE YEARS UNTIL HE WAS TOLD ABOUT THE GI BILL AND BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO HIM AS A SERVICE MEMBER.

WHEN I WAS ONE YEAR OLD, HE MOVED US TO WILMINGTON TO AVAIL US OF THE BENEFITS.

IT WAS OBVIOUS OF THE UPWARD MOBILITY OF PROGRAMS LIKE THAT.

IT ENDEARED IN ME A LIFELONG LOVE OF UNC WILMINGTON.

WHEN I SAW THIS, I SPENT THE LAST FEW MONTHS ABOUT ITS PURPOSE, HISTORY AND BACKGROUND.

I ECHO WHAT GOVERNOR FORD HAS SAID THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REVISITED.

IT WAS VOTED ON AS YOU KNOW, IN 1986 BASED UPON DATA SOURCES AT THE TIME THAT PRESUMABLY LED TO A POLICY CHOICE ABOUT IN STATE V. OUT OF STATE ENROLLMENT.

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE 1986.

THIS POLICY HAS UNDER GONE ITERATIONS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THREE TIME IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AS I RECALL.

THOUGH, I'M GOING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE RULES WERE IN PLACE, THE RULES ARE THERE, POLICIES ARE MADE AND POLICIES SHOULD BE ADHERED TO, BUT I SEE THIS AS A SPRING BOARD OF OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE WITH PRESENT DAY DATA ON AN INSTITUTIONAL BASIS WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE POLICY.

THIS IS NOT A WAY TO SUGGEST, IN MY VIEW, THAT WE SHOULD ADD MY MORE OUT OF STATE STUDENTS.

I THINK FIRST AND FOREMOST, OUR APPLICANTS IN NORTH CAROLINA SHOULD COME FIRST CONSTITUTIONALLY, AND MORALLY.

AS LONG AS THEY MEET THE MINIMUM CRITERIA AND DO THE THINGS WE KNOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO TO GAIN ENTRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

BUT THE DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE CHANGED NATIONALLY.

IT CHANGES MONTHS TO MONTH, CERTAINLY FALL SEMESTER TO FALL SEMESTER.

IF WE CONTINUE TO ASSESS PENALTIES AGAINST THE INSTITUTIONS, WE SHOULD MAKE SURE IT'S BASED ON PRESENT DAY DATA.

I SHARE THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION RELATIVE TO MY FATHER FOR TWO REASONS, FIRST I'LL SEE HIM NEXT WEEK FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER.

IN VOTING FOR THIS, I WANTED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT WE, I HOPE, WILL UNDERGO A THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THIS POLICY MOVING FORWARD, AND SECONDLY, BECAUSE MY CHANCELLORS ARE HERE IN THE ROOM TODAY AND I THINK HIGHLY OF THE JOB HE'S DOING.

I THINK THESE THINGS NEEDED TO BE SAID.

I APPRECIATE THE INDULGENCE OF MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS LISTENING TO ME.

>> GOVERNOR FORD, BEFORE I RECOGNIZE ANYONE ELSE, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT.

THERE ARE CHANGES FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS.

WE RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY.

THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF OUT OF STATE DEMAND AND WE BELIEVED IT WAS THE APPROPRIATE THING TO MAKE THE CHANGES.

I THINK WE ARE GOING TO FIND A SPIRITED DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS POLICY GOING FORWARD.

THERE ARE SOME WHO BELIEVE THAT THE POLICY ISN'T STRICT ENOUGH.

THERE ARE SOME WHO BELIEVE IT IS TOO STRICT.

I THINK LIKE ALL GOOD GOVERNANCE, I EXPECT THE BOARD TO COME TOGETHER WITH A SERIES OF IDEAS AND OPTIONS, AND I KNOW WE'LL COME OUT WITH A BETTER POLICY TODAY.

TO BOTH OF YOUR NOTE AS IT RELATES TO THE CAPS ON THE SCHOOLS, IT IS AN OLD ORIGINAL POLICY, HOWEVER, I THINK WE ALL AGREE IT IS OUR FIRST JOB TO ENSURE QUALIFIED NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE ABLE TO ATTEND THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OR NORTH CAROLINA WHICH IS PAID FOR BY THE TAXPAYERS.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

I THINK THAT AROUND THE DINNER TABLE THE LAST FEW NIGHTS, A GOOD NUMBER OF US HAVE DISCUSSED THIS.

I THINK THIS WILL BE HIGH ON THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION GOING FORWARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.

I ENCOURAGE MEMBERS TO BE IN THE COMMITTEE MEETING IF YOU WANT TO HAVE INPUT EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, AND I THINK WE'LL COME OUT IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

WITH THAT, I RECOGNIZE THE GOVERNOR.

>> I AGREE WITH GOVERNOR FORD AND GOVERNOR WHITE.

I CAME TO RALEIGH 45 YEARS AGO TO GO TO UNIVERSITY.

TODAY, THINGS HAVE CHANGED DRASTICALLY IN THE LAST 20 YEARS.

WE DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET.

WE HAVE JAPANESE COMPANY -- TOYOTA DOING MANUFACTURING IN NORTH CAROLINA.

WE HAVE COMPANIES PRODUCING CARS IN NORTH CAROLINA.

WE HAVE AN INDIA COMPANY COMING AND STAYING IN NORTH CAROLINA.

IF THESE COMPANIES STAY, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE STUDENTS, IF YOU ARE ONLY FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

ANYONE IN THIS STATE WILL WORK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

FIRST PRIORITY SHOULD BE STUDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND STUDENTS WHO ARE GRADUATING.

I THINK TO GIVE NORTH CAROLINA STUDENTS THE EXPOSURE THEY NEED, NOT ONLY PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE, BUT PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.

WE HAVE PEOPLE MOVING INTO NORTH CAROLINA.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK INTO THE POLICY AND CHAMPION ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP TO CHANGE IT.

I'LL BE PART OF IT.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS?

SEEING NONE, WE HAVE A MOTION AND PROPERLY SECONDED, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF ITEM -- WHATEVER IT WAS -- 6-B.

GOVERNOR FORD AND I ARE HAVING TROUBLE THERE.

INDICATE BY SAYING AYE.

DULY NOTED, GOVERNOR FORD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD DISCUSSION.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR ROBERTS FOR THE UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE.

>> WE RECEIVED A NOTE ON PRICING AND AFFORDABLE.

GAL DER HEALTH PRESENTED THE FINDINGS OF BENEFITS AND RISKS MOVING A SELF-FUNDED HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN.

THE FULL REPORT IS AVAILABLE ONBOARD EFFECT.

THE COMMITTEE TOOK NO ACTION.

IN JANUARY, THE COMMITTEE WILL CONSIDER TAKING A VOTE ON PROCEEDING WITH A SELF-FUNDED STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN.

UNC FRESHMEN ENROLLMENT EXCEEDED LIMITS FOR THE POLICY MANUAL SECOND YEAR.

THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE REALLOCATION OF PENALTY FUNDS TO THE NEED BASED SCHOLARSHIP FOR PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF UNC SYSTEM STUDENTS.

BASED ON COMMENTS MADE TODAY AND YESTERDAY, IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE ASSENTIVES PROPERLY ALIGNED AND THE COMMITTEE WILL UNDERTAKE TO REVIEW THE POLICY AS DISCUSSED.

>> THE COMMITTEE HEARD A PRESENTATION FROM JENNIFER HAYGOOD AND JOHN LIP CHAK AND APPROVED THE EXPANSION OF THE MILLENNIAL CAMPUS 4.45 ACRES TO INCREASE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERFORMANCE BASED VENTURES AND REVENUE POTENTIAL.

AUTHORIZATION FOR NC STATE TO USE THE COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM FOR FINANCING OF UP TO $52 MILLION FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING AND RENOVATING UNIVERSITY TOWERS.

AUTHORIZATION OF 2.5 MILLION FOR THREE NEW CAPITAL PROGRAMS AT APPALACHIAN STATE AND THREE INCREASED AUTHORIZATIONS AT THREE INSTITUTIONS AND AUTHORIZATION FOR EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TO DISPOSE OF PROPERTY BY DEMOLITION.

THE FIVE ITEMS WERE APPROVED BY THE FULL BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA MOMENTS AGO.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET AND FINANCE REPORT YESTERDAY.

VERY WELL.

WE'LL MOVE TO GOVERNOR BRADLEY FOR ED PLANNING POLICY AND PROGRAMS.

>> AT OUR MEETING YESTERDAY OUR POLICY AND PROGRAMS RECEIVED REQUEST FOR FIVE ACADEMIC PROGRAM ESTABLISHMENTS APPROVED BY THE BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA.

FALL 2023 ENROLLMENT WAS DISCUSSED WHILE 2022 ENROLLMENT SAW A DECREASE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NINE YEARS, TOTAL ENROLLMENT INCREASED 1% AND FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT INCREASING 6%.

OUT OF STATE ENROLLMENT CAPS WERE REVIEWED.

UNC WILLINGTON RECEIVED THE CAP FOR A SECOND YEAR AND CHAPEL HILL HAS BEEN WARNED.

AN UPDATE ON STUDENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH N INITIATIVES INCLUDING AFTER HOURS HEALTH SERVICE AND CA T CA THAT EFFECT.

WE SEE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS ON THE CAMPUS EVERYDAY.

I SEE THE CHANCELLORS NODDING THEIR HEAD.

IT'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR STUDENT'S LIVES AS AN ISSUE FOR THE COUNTRY AND BRINGS ITSELF TO OUR CAMPUSES.

DR. DAVID ENGLISH AND ANDREW KELLY PROVIDE THE RESPONSE TO TEACHER PREPARATION PUT FORTH IN THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.

DR. ENGLISH DISCUSSED THE EFFECTS OF THE $15 MILLION INFUSION TO THE FACULTY RETENTION OR RECRUITMENT FUND, TRANSFORMATIVE EFFECTS AND LEVERAGE OF TEACHER PREPARATION FACULTY.

ALSO MENTIONED DR. ENGLISH DISCUSSED THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY GIVING THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM A $300,000 ENDOWMENT TO AUGMENT FACULTY IN TERMS OF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION DISCUSSED IN LENGTH IN PERSONNEL AND APPRECIATE THE LEGISLATURE IN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE DONE.

AS GOVERNOR BROWN POINTED OUT, IMPORTANT RECURRING FUNDS.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE REPRESENTATIVE PICKET AND HARDSTER.

I'M SURE GOVERNOR COWARD HAS MORE COMMENTS AS WELL.

DR. KELLY ASSISTS THE UNIVERSITY IN ADDRESSING THE SCIENCE OF READING EXPERTISE SHORTAGES, PLANS INCLUDE EXTENSIVE RESOURCE LISTS AND DELIVER RABBLES AND EXPECTATIONS.

UPDATES TO THE COMMITTEE CONTINUE THROUGHOUT 2024.

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE WORK OF OUR DMITTY.

COMMITTEE.

IF THE CITIZENS DON'T LEARN TO READ, THEY CAN'T LEARN, THEY CAN'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY CAN'T COME TO OUR UNIVERSITY IN OUR WORKFORCE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES THE STATE HAS TO OFFER.

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR LOTS OF THINGS, INDIVIDUAL AS WELL AS CIVIL SOCIETY.

THIS IS AN AREA THANKS TO VICE-CHAIR MURPHY THAT WE ARE FOCUSED ON.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE MANDATE, IF YOU EXPECT WHAT YOU INSPECT.

EXPECT TO SEE THIS FREQUENTLY.

THERE IS ONE MORE ITEM IN CLOSED SESSION.

I CALL ON DR. WADE MAKI TO DELIVER A REPORT ON FACULTY ASSEMBLY.

EU8D LI WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF HE WILL HAVE AS HIGH-TECH OF A PRESENTATION AS HIS COLLEAGUE.

[OFF MICROPHONE ] >> THANK YOU.

THAT'S WHY I CAN'T BEAT JEFF, RIGHT?

PUSHING A BUTTON -- I'M LIKE GEORGE JETTIS JETSON THAT WAY.

WHERE WAS I?

MOUNT OLYMPUS.

GOOD PLACE TO START WITH THIS CROWD.

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE, JEFF.

WE HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT VISIT AND HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW UNC FROM OUR STUDENTS, CHOSEN RANDOMLY.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE VICE-CHAIR TOBY KING WHO JOINS ME TO REPRESENT THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY.

THIS IS HIS FIRST BOARD OF GOVERNOR'S MEETING.

HE WOULD REPLACE ME IF SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE HAPPENED, SO HE NEEDS TO AT LEAST SEE HOW IT WORKS.

IN OUR FACULTY ASSEMBLY ROLES, TOBY AND I RECOGNIZE ALL FACULTY IN THE UNC SYSTEM.

NOTE, HOWEVER, THEY DO NOT ALWAYS NECESSARILY REPRESENT US.

AS YOU ARE HERE AMONG SPARTANS TODAY, I'LL FORGO MY TRADITIONAL COMMENTS FOR A QUICK LESSON IN SPARTAN PHILOSOPHY.

IT IS SHORT, MINIMALIST AND COMES TO A SHARP POINT.

THREE PRINCIPLES.

FIRST, IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT SOMETHING TO OFFER -- NO ONE WANTS YOU.

ALWAYS ADD VALUE TO EVERY INTERACTION YOU HAVE.

SECOND, SOME WOULD RATHER HAVE A FIGHT THAN WIN ONE.

IT IS BETTER TO WIN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

THIRD, YOU WIN MORE WITH ALLIES, SO MAKE THEM AMEN AND KEEP THEM.

WHILE THIS MAY SOUND LIKE COMMON SENSE, IT'S NOT COMMON AS IT SHOULD BE.

THE PRINCIPLES GUIDE THE WORK OF THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY AND WE ARE PROUD OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PAST 18 MONTHS.

SIGNATURE ACHIEVEMENT RESULTING FROM THE PHILOSOPHY IS THE FACULTY POLICY INITIATIVE.

THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF THE BOARD AND PRESIDENT AND DAVID ENGLISH AND FACULTY AT ALL INSTITUTIONS, WE HAVE MOVED FORWARD SIX MAJOR POLICIES WITHIN A YEAR.

[APPLAUSE] TWO POLICIES, WORKLOAD AND REQUIREMENT ARE AT IMPLEMENTATION PHASE.

YESTERDAY, TWO PASSED TENURE REVIEW AND VALUE OF TEACHING WERE APPROVED AND WILL COME BEFORE THE FULL BOARD NEXT MEETING.

TWO MORE POLICIES, PROVOST, WE PROMISE THAT'S ALL THERE IS, FACULTY RECOGNITION AND TEACHING PROFESSIONAL TRACKS WILL COME TO THE COMMITTEE SOON.

WORONCE THERE IS TIME TO IMPLEMENT, WE'LL UPDATE THE POLICIES THAT DEFINE THE FACULTY EXPERIENCE.

THERE IS STILL MORE WORK TO DO.

WHILE WE VALUE THE INCREASED FUNDING, FACULTY HAVE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE CHANGE TO THE DISTINGUISHED PROFESSORSHIP TO STEM.

I SAW AN INTERESTING MEDIA QUOTE.

AS A PRIVATE DONOR AND IN GENERAL, I WANT TO EXPRESSLY STATE THAT I SUPPORT THE HUMANITIES, LIBERAL ARTS, NATURAL SCIENCES, ALL AREAS OF ACADEMIC STUDY NOT JUST STEM.

THAT WAS GOVERNOR ART POPE.

ON BEHALF OF ALL FACULTY IN THE SYSTEM, THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE HUMANITIES, LIB LIBERAL ARTS AND ALL FORMS OF HUMANITY WE DO.

[APPLAUSE] >> AS YOU WELL KNOW, OUR ABILITY TO REWARD EXCELLENCE IS KEY TO RETAINING OUR BEST PEOPLE.

FACULTY APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ON THIS ISSUE AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE SYSTEM OFFICE AND BOARD IN MAKING THE CASE TO THE LEGISLATURE THAT WIDER ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM IS OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE.

ADDITIONALLY, THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY HAS HAD GREEN ZONE TRAINING TO BETTER SERVE OUR MILITARY AFFILIATED STUDENTS.

WE HAVE QR TRAINING TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AND MEDIA TRAINING FROM THE SYSTEM OFFICE.

THAT MEDIA TRAINING BENEFITED TOBY, MYSELF AND OTHERS AS THIS FALL WE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY EVERYONE FROM INSIDE TO THE CHRONICLE.

WE RECEIVED UPDATES ON THE BUDGET AND INCENTIVE PAY.

WE HAVE HEARD PRESENTATIONS FROM FACULTY ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WORKLOAD POLICY AND I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING INVITED TO SPEAK AT SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS.

IN EVERY CASE, MOST FACULTY ALIGN WITH THE PHILOSOPHY I HAVE OUTLINED TODAY.

WHAT I HOPE YOU OBSERVE IS THAT THE FACULTY ARE ENGAGED IN TRAINING TO BETTER SERVE OUR STUDENT.

S. THE SYSTEM OFFICE PROVIDES TRANSPARENCY AROUND BUDGETS AND ALL OF US ENGAGE IN MOVING SYSTEM POLICIES FORWARD TOGETHER.

THIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NORTH CAROLINA WAY.

THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY LOOKS FORWARD TO OUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR WORK, GETTING TO KNOW UNCG AND THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

GO SPARTANS!

[APPLAUSE] >> THAT CONCLUDES YOUR REPORT?

VERY WELL.

GO SPARTANS.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR BLUE FOR A REPORT ON UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE.

>> THANK YOU, ADD YESTERDAY'S MEETING THE COMMITTEE HEARD FROM ASSOCIATE COUNSEL ON PROPOSED POLICY REVISIONS TO SECTION 200 OF THE UNC MANUAL.

CLARIFYING DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY AS IT RELATES TO INITIATING AS IT RELATES TO PENDING LITIGATION, DELEGATION OF CAMPUS SAFETY AND SECURITY.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS DEFINE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS TO THE COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE AND A FULL BOARD SETTLING LITIGATION.

THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS INCORPORATE STATUTORY UPDATES AS THEY RELATE TO DUAL MEMBERSHIPS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

THE POLICY AMENDMENTS WERE APPROVED AND WILL BE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA NEXT DISCUSSION OF THE BOARD.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR BLUE.

ANY QUESTIONS ON HER REPORT?

HEARING NONE, I'LL CALL ON MR. HUTCHINS FOR THE REPORT ON AUDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND COMPLIANCE.

>> THANK YOU.

IT IS MY PLEASURE TO REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CAR MAC ACTIVITY.

YESTERDAY WE DIDN'T HAVE ACTION ITEMS BUT WE RECEIVED A LOT OF INFORMATION.

FIRST WITH AN UPDATE ON THE MOST IMPORTANT CAMPUS TRAINING INITIATIVE FOR STRENGTHENING CAMPUS SAFETY, UNC THREAT ASSESSMENT TRAINING FOR ALL OF OUR UNIVERSITIES STARTED WITH A VIRTUAL PLATFORM INCLUDING A MIXTURE OF LEXTURES, PRACTICAL IMPROMPTU EXERCISES WITH CAMPUS ATTACKS AND TARGETED VIOLENCE AGAINST INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY IN-PERSON MODULES ALLOWING THE CAMPUS TO BUILD ON THE NEXT STEP VIRTUAL ASSESSMENT THREAT TRAINING.

THE TRAINING FOCUSED ON SKILL BUILDING, DEVELOPING CONFIDENCE AND TRUST AND RELATIONSHIPS AMONG MULTIDISCIPLINED TEAM MEMBERS.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS, ALL CAMPUSES HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS BEHAVIORAL THREAT TRAINING READINESS.

NEXT, OUR CHIEF AUDITOR PRESENTED A REVIEW OF THE SYSTEM WIDE INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN FOR 2023 WHICH INCLUDED A SUMMARY OF THE INDIVIDUAL AUDIT PLANS FOR EACH UNIVERSITY.

HE PRESENTED A SYSTEM WIDE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES INCLUDING A SUMMARY OF INSTITUTION SUMMARY OF REPORTS AND AUDIT FINDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023.

IT'S A MOUTHFUL BUT ALSO A LOT OF PAPER.

IT INCLUDES A LISTING OF ALL 2023 REPORTS AND ALL 2023 INTERNAL AUDIT FINDINGS, BETWEEN JULY 1, 2022 AND JUNE 30TH, 2023.

INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS ACROSS THE SYSTEM COMPLETED RISK ASSESSMENTS, AUDITS FINDING FOLLOW UPS AND INVESTIGATION IN 188 REPORTS.

THESE INTERNAL ACTIVITIES PRODUCED 213 RECOMMENDATION ALSO FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERNAL CONTROLS.

CORRESPONDING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE IMPLEMENTED BY UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP.

THAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, AND WE HAVE A GREAT CHIEF AUDITOR.

OUR OPEN MEETING ENDED WITH AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION.

CHIEF WARNER INTRODUCED SPECIAL AGENT JESSICA A MEMBER OF THE CYBER SQUAD IN RAWY AND CHRIS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL GUARD PARTNER OF THE CYBER SECURITY TASK FORCE.

IT'S A SCARY PRESENTATION.

AGENT NIGH DISCUSSED THE ROLE OF PROVIDING SECURITY ASSISTANCE INSTANT RESPONSE, COORDINATION, FORENSICS, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND PRO ACTIVE SERVICES TO SCHOOLS, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, THE TARGETS OF CYBER SECURITY INCIDENTS.

THEY HAVE DEVELOPED PROTOCOL THAT ARE AVAILABLE, TRAINING THAT'S AVAILABLE.

I HOPE EACH OF OUR CONSTITUENT INSTITUTIONS ARE GIVING THE SUBJECT THE ATTENTION AND RESOURCES IT REQUIRES.

AS SPECIAL AGENT NY POINTED OUT, IT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST THREATS TO THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM WE ARE FACING TODAY.

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO COME TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING TO LEARN ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO TURN YOUR BACK ON AND THIN SOMEONE THINK SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO IT.

IT COULD RUN US.

THAT IS THE REPORT.

>> I ECHO THE REPORT TOWARD THE END.

ALL OF US IN THE ROOM LEARNED QUITE A LOT ABOUT THE REPORT AND OPTIONS AVAILABLE WHEN WE HAVE CYBER ISSUES.

CLEARLY, THOSE FOLKS ARE ENGAGED AND SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING OUR UNIVERSITIES.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLTEN FOR THE COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

OUR REPORT TODAY IS RELATIVELY LONG BUT SIGNIFICANT, I THINK.

YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND PLANNING, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS MET JOINTLY TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE SYSTEM WIDE RETURN ON INVESTMENT REPORT IN AN ASSOCIATED TRANSMITTAL LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

WE HEARD THE RESULTS OF THE TWO YEAR STUDY ASSOCIATED WITH NEARLY EVERY GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM IN THE SYSTEM.

THE STUDY DOW CONDUCTED BY DELLOYD WAS COMMISSIONED IN THE 2021 BUDGET.

PETER FRITZ AND LYNETTE JOINED THE COMMITTEE TO SHARE A SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS, THE FULL REPORT AND DASHBOARDS HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

WE BEGAN THE DISCUSSION BY RECOGNIZING THAT THE BENEFITS OF HIGHER EDUCATION GO BEYOND GRADUATE EARNINGS AND INCLUDE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES, MORE ENGAGED CITIZENSHIP, LIFELONG LEARNING AND INCREASED VOLUNTEERISM AND CHARITABLE GIVING.

THEY ARE IMPORTANT TO THE CONTRIBUTION OUR SYSTEM MAKES TO OUR STATE.

THE OUTCOMES REFLECT THE FACT THAT A UNC EDUCATION CONTINUES TO BE MORE THAN JOB TRAINING.

OF COURSE, PREPARING OUR GRADUATES FOR MEANINGFUL LIVES AND CAREERS AFTER COLLEGE REMAINS FOREMOST.

WE MUST BE RESPONSIVE TO RISING PUBLIC SCEPTICISM ABOUT THE VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

THIS LAST STUDY PROVIDED THE FUNDAMENTAL AND FOUNDATIONAL DATA WE NEED TO DO JUST THAT.

AS THE TEAM OUTLINED YESTERDAY, IT IS MASSIVE IN SCALE, 47,000,000 WAGE RECORDS FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, 3,000,000 STUDENT RECORDS FROM THE STUDENT DATA MART, 1.7 MILLION RECORDS FROM THE FINANCE DATA AND 9,000 RECORDS FROM FINANCIAL AID BASED ON PROJECTED EARNINGS FOR GRADUATES OF THE SYSTEM.

MR. FRITZ AND MISS MCLAUGH MCLAUGHLIN HIGHLIGHTED SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS.

94% OF THOSE STUDIED SHOW A POSITIVE ROI.

AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL, 91% SHOWED A POSITIVE ROI.

NEARLY 90% OF STUDENTS WHO WERE FROM THE LOWEST INCOME BRACKET AT ENROLLMENT EXPERIENCED ECONOMIC MOBILITY ACROSS THE COURSE OF THEIR CAREER.

THE RESEARCHERS SHARED A LIST OF UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE PROGRAMS THAT BOAST AN ROI OF A MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE.

THAT INCLUDED MANY YOU MAY EXPECT IN TODAY'S ECONOMY.

IN SOME, THAT WE MAY FIND MORE SURPRISING, NURSING, AGRICULTURAL TEACHER EDUCATION AND POULTRY SCIENCE.

THE RESEARCHERS SHOWED HOW PROGRAMS WITH VARYING ROI OFTEN RESULT IN COMPARABLE RATES OF ECONOMIC MOBILITY RATES FOR LOW INCOME STUDENTS.

FOLLOWING THE PRESENTATION, WE HAD A ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT THE STUDY FINDINGS, AND THE NEED TO UPDATE AND CONSTANTLY EVALUATE OVER TIME TO ENSURE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SYSTEM VALUE PROPOSITION IS UP-TO-DATE.

THE COMMITTEES VOTED TO IMPROVE THE REPORT IN THE DASHBOARD TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

I THINK THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DESERVING OUR THANKS FOR DIRECTING US TO COMPLETE THIS SIGNIFICANT STUDY.

WE MOVED ON TO DISCUSS HOW THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS, SYSTEM AND INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS CAN USE THE NEW TOOL TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND INFORM DECISION MAKING REGARDING ACADEMIC STRATEGY AND PROGRAMMING.

THAT DISCUSSION IS REFLECTED IN A DRAFT TRANSMITTAL LEVEL FROM THE BOARD TO ACCOMPANY THE FULL REPORT WHEN DELIVERED TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

NEXT STEPPED OUTLINED INCLUDE FIRST, CHARGING CHANCELLORS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS TO REVIEW THE DATA, IDENTIFY LOW ROI PROGRAMS AND DEVELOP PLANS TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAMS.

SECOND, REVISITING POLICIES ON ACADEMIC PROGRAM REVIEW AND APPROVAL TO APPROVE ROI CONSIDERATIONS.

THIRD, DEVELOPING SYSTEM OFFICE CAPACITY AND NECESSARY DATA SHARING AGREEMENTS TO ENABLE CONSISTENT ANALYSIS AND REPORTING ON ROI RELATED METRICS.

THE COMMITTEES VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPROVE THE LETTER FOR THE CONSIDERATION BY THE FULL BOARD TODAY.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSMITTAL LEVEL WILL INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE BOARD OF GOVE GOVERNORS AS SIGNATURETORY.

OUR THANKS SHOULD GO TO CHAIR BRADLEY IN PARTICULAR FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE PRESIDENT AND SYSTEM OFFICE STAFF WHO PROVIDED MEANINGFUL AND CRITICAL INPUT ON THE RESPONSE LETTER.

CHAIR RAMSEY, AT THIS TIME, ON BEHALF OF STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND EDUCATIVE PLANNING, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE ROI REPORT AND TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR ASSEMBLY.

>> YOU HAVE HEARD THE MOTION.

DOES NOT REQUIRE A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY QUESTION OR DEBATE?

HEARING NONE, ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

MOTION PASSES.

>> THANK YOU.

IN CLOSING, LET ME EMPHASIZE THE REPORT IS THE BEGINNING NOT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR WORK ON THE ISSUE.

CHAIR BRADLEY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE DISCUSSION IN JANUARY WHEN WE BEGIN TO FLESH OUT THE NEXT STEPS, IDENTIFY OTHER IMPORTANT TASKS WE NEED TO DO ON A GOING FORWARD BASIS.

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ENGAGED AND ENTHUSED ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THANK YOU, THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> I ECHO YOUR REPORT.

I'M GLAD WE WERE ASKED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.

I THINK THE DATA IS FASCINATING, BUT IT'S A LOT OF DATE.

DATA.

THERE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO USE IT TO HELP STUDENT OUTCOMES AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE PRESIDENT ABOUT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A MORE VIGOROUS TOOL FOR THE STUDENTS AND STUDENT FAMILIES.

WE CAN ADJUST TO THAT.

CHANCELLOR GILLIAM MADE TERRIFIC POINTS YESTERDAY REGARDING THIS.

I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE THOSE SERIOUSLY AND BRING THOSE INTO DISCUSSION AS WELL.

JUST BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR A STUDENT, IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD FOR THE INDIVIDUAL UNIVERSITIES AND UNIVERSITY WHO ARE PRODUCING THAT DEGREE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

I WILL NOW CALL ON GOVERNOR BIER BYERS.

>> I MAY OFFENDER PEOPLE TODAY.

IF I DO, MY ATTORNEYS ARE MR. WILLIFORD AND MR. HUTCHINS.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023, SUBCOMMITTEE ON LABORATORY SCHOOLS APPROVED THE 2022-23 LAB SCHOOL REPORT.

THE APPROVAL OF THE REPORT FULFILLS OUR OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY WITH INFORMATION ABOUT LABORATORY SCHOOLS, DEMOGRAPHIC ADMISSIONS AND PROCESSES AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA EDUCATOR PROGRAM, STUDENT OUTCOMES AND BEST PRACTICES.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE HEARD A PRESENTATION FROM RESEARCHERS AT UNC CHAPEL HILL AND PUBLIC IMPACT.

THE REPORT SHOWS THAT AT MOST LABORATORY SCHOOLS, STUDENTS MET ACADEMIC GROWTH EXPECTATIONS WITH SOME SCHOOLS COMING CLOSE TO EXCEEDING THE GROWTH EXPECTATION.

THE GROWTH SCORES ARE PARTICULARLY ENCOURAGING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT LAB SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO SERVE STUDENTS ASSIGNED TO A LOW PERFORMING SCHOOL OR ARE CLASSIFIED AS LOW-PERFORMING STUDENTS.

GROWTH IS KEY IN MOVING MORE OF THE STUDENTS TOWARD PROFICIENCY.

HOWEVER, WE ARE NOW SEVEN YEARS INTO THE PROGRAM, AND WE MUST RAISE OUR EXPECTATIONS TO FOCUS NOT ONLY ON MEETING GROWTH BUT INCREASING PROFICIENCY.

STUDENTS WHO ARE PROFICIENT IN READING AND MATH ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN HIGH SCHOOL, ENROLL IN COLLEGE AND FIND MEANINGFUL CAREERS.

WE CAN AND WE MUST RAISE THIS BAR.

THEREFORE, THE SUBCOMMITTEE HAS TASKED THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE WITH DEVELOPING IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR EACH LAB SCHOOL THAT IDENTIFY THE STEPS EACH CAN TAKE TO INCREASE PROFICIENCY RATES OVER THE COURSE OF THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR.

WE'LL REVIEW THESE STEPS IN 2024 AND HOLD CHANCELLORS ACCOUNTABLE FOR MEETING STRATEGIES TO MEETING THE GOALS.

I LOOK FORWARD TO A MORE POSITIVE NOTE IN THE FUTURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT, AND THIS IS WHERE I GET IN TROUBLE WHEN I GO OFF SCRIPT, WILLIFORD, TAKE NOTES.

GOVERNOR FRALEY, MURPHY, GOVERNOR SLOANE HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL WORKING WITH THIS COMMITTEE.

I HAVE CHAIRED IT SINCE ITS INCEPTION SEVEN YEARS AGO, SO I'LL TAKE THE BLAME FOR FAILING WITH LAB SCHOOLS.

WE MUST DO BETTER.

GROWTH IS A WONDERFUL THING.

THOSE OF YOU IN NORTH CAROLINA KNOW WE HAVE A 20% GROWTH MEASUREMENT, 80% PROFICIENCY.

WE ARE HORRIBLE.

OUR CHILDREN ARE READING AND PERFORMING MATH AT THE SAME RATE THEY WERE WHEN WE ADOPTED THE PROGRAM.

WE WILL DO BETTER.

THE EXCUSES ARE, WE ARE IN TOUGH NEIGHBORHOODS.

WE HAVE HIGH CRIME AREAS.

THEY ARE FAILING SCHOOLS WHEN WE ADOPT THEM.

THOSE ARE EXCUSES.

EXCUSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

GOING FORWARD, THERE WILL BE FEELINGS HURT.

I KNOW ABOUT TURNING AROUND SCHOOLS MR. POPE AROUND THE COUNTRY.

THINK ABOUT THE MESSAGE WE SEND WHEN OUR SYSTEMS OF EDUCATION CAN'T TAKE A FAILING SCHOOL AND TURN IT AROUND.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR THAT.

I HAVE SAID ENOUGH UGLY THINGS.

I HAVE HURT FEELINGS.

I PROMISE YOU NEXT YEAR SHORT OF MY DEATH AND, WE'LL HAVE A BETTER REPORT FOR YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR BYERS.

ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM IF YOU HAVE THEM.

NO EXCUSES GOING FORWARD.

>> I ENCOURAGE THE BOARD OF GOVERNOR MEMBERS, IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE LAB SCHOOL COMMITTEE, READ THE REPORT.

WHAT GOVERNOR BYERS IS REFERRING TO IS REAL AND HAS TO BE CHANGED.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER.

I CALL ON SECRETARY BURRIS-FLOYD FOR THE MOTION TO GO TO CLOSED SESSION.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN?

THE BOARD NEEDS A MOTION TO MOVE INTO CLOSED SESSION PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL STATUTE SECTION -- 143-748 AND 143- 143-318.11-A-1, 2, 3 AND 6 FOR THE PURPOSE IN THE WRITTEN MOTION INCLUDED IN THE MEETING MINUTES.
