SEEING NONE WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE TO RECOGNIZE SENATOR-ELECT CANDY SMITH, WITH US HERE, SOME WHERE, THERE SHE IS.

[APPLAUSE] SENATOR SMITH WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK ON BEHALF OF THE FOLKS OF THIS COMMUNITY IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY.

IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE IN GREENVILLE.

AND I CERTAINLY ENJOYED HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF THE HOSPITALITY OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, AND FINALLY GOOD EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA BARBECUE.

I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO CORD KNIGHT NATE THE MID SEMESTER GATHERING AND I WANTED TO THANK YOU AND THE PIRATE NATION FOR THE WARM WELCOME YOU HAVE GIVEN US.

[APPLAUSE] I KNOW YOUR STAFF HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY, I WANT TO THANK THEM, FACULTY, EVERYBODY AT EESHTS CAROLINA THAT MAKES US FEEL WELCOME.

THANK CHAIRMAN SCOTT SHOOK, I KNOW HE'S HERE, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

YOU REALLY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL.

THANK YOU.

UNCPEMBR -- UNC PEMBROOK HAS A MY BAR.

NORTH CAROLINA BRINGS OUT LOYALTY AND PRIDE IN THEIR COMMUNITY FOR GOOD REASON.

AS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINIAN MYSELF, I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M FROM, I'M PROUD TO BE PART OF THE REGION THAT BLEEDS PURPLE AND GOLD.

THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE COASTAL SIDE OF THE STATE, ECU ISN'T JUST A CAMPUS, IT'S A BEACON OF OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE.

NOT JUST FOR STEW DINTSES, BUT FOR MORE THAN 1.4 MILLION NORTH CAROLINIANS IT SERVES.

CHANCELLOR ROGERS WE'RE VERY IMPRESSED BY THE LEADERSHIP YOU SHOW SINCE YOU CAME TO EAST CAROLINA.

DURING YOUR TIME HERE AND WE ARE TOUCHED BY THE PASSION AND CARE YOU BRING TO THE JOB.

ALSO PRETTY IMPRESSED BY BLOWING UP STUFF IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE VIDEOS, THAT'S GREAT.

CHANCELLOR ROGERS, MR.

BEAST, WATCH OUT.

WE KNOW YOU'RE FROM GREENVILLE, RAISED HERE WITH A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS TO BE A PIRATE.

YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS ECU, HOW IMPORTANT ECU IS TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY.

YOU HAVE ACTED ON THIS BY LEADING A TRANSFORMATIVE EFFORT TO JOIN VITAL HEALTH AND BRADY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE TOGETHER FORMING ECU HEALTH.

I WANT TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT AND EMPHASIZE HOW LIFE CHANGING THIS IS FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN CITIES OR AROUND CITIES IS VERY EASY FOR US TO GET HEALTHCARE AND WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.

GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE DOCTOR, IT'S SECOND NATURE WHEN YOU'RE TEN MINUTES AWAY FROM A MEDICAL OFFICE OR URGENT CARE N OUR RURAL COUNTIES, DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE SCARCE.

WE KNOW THAT'S A PROBLEM THAT PERSISTS IN THE COUNTY SURROUNDING ECU.

THIS UNIVERSITY PLAYS AN ENORMOUS ROLE IN ADDRESSING THOSE CHALLENGES AND FOR THAT I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

HEALTHCARE IS A PERSONAL PASSION OF MINE FOR MANY REASONS.

THE SIMPLEST OF WHICH IS GOOD HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL FOR MEANINGFUL AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

OUR CITIZENS CAN'T MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS IF THEY CAN'T MEET THEIR BASIC NEEDS THEY MUST RETHINK THE SIMPLEST OF CHOICES.

THIS IS ONE OF THE ERRONEOUS WE SEE THE POPULATION DECLINE, AND HARDSHIP IN SO MANY RURAL COUNTIES IN OUR STATE.

SUPPORTING THE HEALTH OF OUR CITIZENS IS CRITICAL, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ECU DOES.

AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

ALREADY, ECU HAS PROVEN ABILITY TO TRAIN AND MENTOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVE RURAL AREAS IN OUR STATE.

FOR EXAMPLE, ECU IS NUMBER ONE IN GRADUATING NURSES AMONG OUR FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS.

MORE THAN 90% OF ECU GRADUATES STAY AND PRACTICE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

ECU RANKS IN THE TOP 10 PRSES OF THE UNITED STATES FOR MEDICAL GRADS WHO PRACTICE IN THE STATE, BEING PRIMARY CARE TO UNDERSERVED AREAS.

WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO ECU HEALTH.

WE CAN DO MUCH MORE FOR NORTH CAROLINIANS BY COORDINATING THIS EFFORT AND BY JOINING OUR MEDICAL SCHOOL WITH EASTERN CAROLINA'S LARGEST EMPLOYER AND I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD OUR NINTH LARGEST HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY, WE WILL MAKE HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S HERE BUT I'D LIKE TO SAY A SPECIAL THANKS TO DR. MIKE WALLDRUM WHO HAS DONE THE HELPY LIFTING WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH CHANCELLOR ROGERS, I'M GREAT FOLLOW FOR THAT.

BEFORE I WRAP UP REMARKS I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THERE WON'T BE A BOARD MEETING IN DECEMBER.

NO APPLAUSE?

[APPLAUSE] [LAUGHING] OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED TO BE JANUARY, HELD AT THE NEW UNC OFFICES IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH, CHANCELLOR WOODSON IS THRILLED WE'RE COMING TO RALEIGH.

HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A GREAT HOLIDAY AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE NEW YEAR.

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR RAY PALMER FOR FEW BRIEF REMARKS.

>> QUICK HIGHLIGHT ON EXCITING INITIATIVE THAT HAPPENED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, NOVEMBER 3 AND 4, THE SYSTEM ALONG WITH STUDENT, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVES HELD A FINANCIAL LIT RALY -- ATTENDED A FINANCIAL LITERACY SIM POSEUP ON UNC CHARLOTTE HOSTED BY NINER FINANCES, WHICH IS THE FINANCIAL LITERACY AND WELL-BEING PROGRAM AT UNC CHARLOTTE, VERY UNIQUE WITHIN THE SYSTEM, THEY DO AMAZING WORK WHEN IT COMES TO FINANCIAL LITERACY.

THEY APPROVED THE SYSTEM TO TRY TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER A SYMPOSIUM HERE WHERE STUDENTS, STAFF, AND FACULTY INTRODUCED FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAMS ACROSS CAMPUSES, TALKING ABOUT BEST PRACTICES, FINANCIAL WELL-BEING, PROGRAM DESIGN DELIVERY, RESOURCES AND PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS CAMPUSES TO SET UP THE PROGRAMS.

SEP PLANTS FOR ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS AND OTHER -- TEMPLATES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS.

REALLY EXCITED THAT ASG WAS ABLE TO WORK TO ENSURE THIS VOICE, FUNDED A STUDENT FROM EVERY CAMPUS TO ATTEND THIS SYMPOSIUM, WHICH IS I THINK REALLY IMPORTANT.

GOVERNMENT DOES A LOT OF WORK ON CAMPUSES, AND SO MORE PARTIES WERE A PART OF AN EFFORT LIKE THIS, IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

BUT PROBABLY BECAUSE, FINANCIAL LITERACY IS IMPORTANT TO THE SYSTEM, INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IN THE 21st CENTURY AND THE SYMPOSIUM WAS EMBODIMENT OF CAMPUS DISSEMINATION OF BEST PRACTICES.

I WANTED TO THANK THE SYSTEM, NINER FINANCES AS WELL AS CHANCELLOR GABOR AND UNC CHARLOTTE FOR HOSTING THE SYMPOSIUM.

>> THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE THOSE REMARKS.

I THINK THAT'S AN INITIATIVE YOU ALL ARE DISCUSSING IS OUTSTANDING, APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP.

I'LL CALL ON PRESIDENT HANS FOR HIS REMARKS.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I WAS GOING TO DELIVER MY REMARKS, RON CLARK STYLE, BUT I CHOSE TO CONTAIN MY CARRIES MA AT THIS POINT.

[LAUGHING] IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE IN GREENVILLE, FEEL THE ENERGY AND EXCITEMENT OF CAMPUS AND REMIND US WHAT ENORMOUS ENGINE OF OPPORTUNITY THIS UNIVERSITY IS FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

YESTERDAY WE GOT TO SEE SOME OF THE EXTRAORDINARY ALUMNI AND STUDENTS OF THIS PLACE.

WE'RE DOING IMPORTANT WORK ACROSS OUR STATE, EDUCATORS, DENTISTS, ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCHERS, PROUD MEMBERS OF THE U.S. MILITARY.

ALL FINDING THE INSPIRATION AND THE RESOURCES THEY NEED RIGHT HERE AT ECU.

I, TOO, WANT TO THANK CHANCELLOR ROGERS AND HIS TEAM FOR GIVING US SUCH A WARM PIRATE WELCOME.

WE'RE GENUINELY GRATEFUL FOR THE HOSPITALITY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MR.

BEAST FEATURE HIGHER EDUCATION GOVERNANCE IN A VIRAL VIDEO TO FOUGHT.

MAYBE NOT, MAYBE NOT, I DON'T KNOW.

WHEN CHANCELLOR ROGERS WAS OFFICIALLY INSTALLED EARLIER THIS YEAR AFTER SPENDING MUCH OF HIS CAREER WORKING WITH COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR ACE, HE SAID THAT THE MOST CHALLENGING, MOST URGENT, MOST FULFILLING WORK IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN AMERICA IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE AT EAST CAROLINA.

AND I AGREE WITH HIM ABOUT THIS.

PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION TO STUDENTS FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF BACKGROUNTH, IS ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY ON A MASSIVE SCALE, IS WHAT THIS INSTITUTION WAS BUILT TO DO.

IT'S IN THE DNA OF EAST CAROLINA WHICH BEGAN AS A TEACHER'S COLLEGE WITH THE MISSION OF BRINGING A GREAT EDUCATION TO STUDENTS ACROSS OUR STATE.

SPENDING TIME AS WE SAW YESTERDAY WITH A TALENTED, MOTIVATED TEACHER, CHANGES THE TRAJECTORY OF STUDENTS' LIVES AND CAREERS LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

ECU OFFERS THAT EXPERIENCE ON A VAST SCALE EVERY DAY.

THIS INSTITUTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN ENERGETIC AND CREATIVE ABOUT EXTENDING GREAT TEACHING TO THOSE WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM IT THE MOST.

IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE THAT ECU HAS TAKEN THAT MISSIONARY SPIRIT INTO THE NEXT FRONTIER OF EDUCATION.

ECU IS THE LARGEST IN-STATE PROVIDER OF ONLINE EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA.

WITH FULLY ONLINE PROGRAMS REACHING THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS EVERY SEMESTER, AND THAT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK TO A FUTURE WHERE WORKING ADULTS AND OTHER NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS WILL BE A LARGER SHARE OF THE STATE'S COLLEGE-AGE GOING POPULATION.

GIVEN THE DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE STATE AND SCALE OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION WE SEE IN ECONOMIES FROM AGRICULTURE TO HEALTHCARE TO ENTER AT THE SAME TIME, THE NEED TO RETOOL AND RECONSIDER CAREER PATHS IS ONLY GOING TO GROW.

WE MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES ARE READY TO MEET THAT TASK AND WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO LEARN FROM ECU'S SUCCESS IN EXPANDING ONLINE ACCESS.

SO WHEN WE STARTED PROJECT KITTY HAWK, THE TRANSFORMATIVE INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY TO BRING THE BEST OF NORTH CAROLINA'S PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES TO A NEW POPULATION OF ONLINE LEARNERS, WE KNEW THE FOLKS HERE IN GREENVILLE WOULD HAVE A LOT TO CONTRIBUTE.

AND IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE CHANCELLOR ROGERS SERVING ON THE KITTY HAWK BOARD.

BY THE WAY, I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE HE HAS BEEN A POSITIVE, UNIFYING LEADER FOR THIS UNIVERSITY, JUST AS ECU IS A POSITIVE UNIFYING FORCE IN THIS REGION AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

I THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR.

WHILE ECU IS LEADING IN A NEW ERA OF TEACHING AND LEARNING, AS THE CHAIR NOTED THIS UNIVERSITY IS DOING IMPORTANT -- ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT WORK TO REIMAGINE THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE.

THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR COUNTLESS NORTH CAROLINIANS DEPENDS ON THE ROLE OF ECU HEALTH AS A VITAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDER O THE BRODY SCHOOL AS A HUB OF MEDICAL INNOVATION.

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL TO DELIVER HIGH QUALITY CARE ESPECIALLY IN THOSE RURAL REGIONS IS ONE OF THIS UNIVERSITY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO NORTH CAROLINA AND I AM ENCOURAGED BY THE THOUGHTFUL LEADERSHIP THAT CHANCELLOR ROGERS, DR. WALLDRUM AND MANY OTHERS DISPLAYED ON THIS FRONT.

NOW, ALL OF YOU HAVE NOW RECEIVED A COPY OF THE UFT NC SYSTEM UPDATED STRATEGIC PLAN.

WHAT CHAIR RAMSEY AND I HAVE CALLED OUR CONFIDENT RECOMMITMENT TO ACCOUNTABILITY.

OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED HOW SMART METRICS AND CLEAR INCENTIVES THAT ARE ALIGNED CAN DRIVE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS AND OUR STATE.

AND THIS PLAN BUILDS ON THAT SUCCESS.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW IT CLOSELY, TO SHARE IT WIDELY, AND TO THANK ALL OF OUR CHANCELLORS FOR THEIR PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO A SHARED STATEWIDE VISION OF WHAT OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES CAN ACHIEVE.

THE UPDATED HIGHER EXPECTATIONS PLAN IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE FOR EVERY NORTH CAROLINIAN TO SEE.

WE SPOKE A TOO MUCH MONTHS AGO ABOUT -- SPOKE A FEW MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE FACING HIGHER EDUCATION, ALONG WITH HEIGHTENED PUBLIC SKEPTICISM ABOUT THE ROLE OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND PROMOTING FAIR OPPORTUNITY IN OUR SOCIETY.

AND I THINK THIS PLAN GOES A LONG WAY TOWARDS ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS AND CONTINUING NORTH CAROLINA'S TRADITION OF ADAPTING PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION TO THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WE SERVE.

THAT PROMISE DRIVES ALL OF OUR WORK, DRIVES ALL OF OUR WORK.

AND IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE IT UP CLOSE RIGHT HERE IN GREENVILLE.

THANK YOU, GO PIRATES.

>> THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.

[APPLAUSE] >> THAT WAS SPECIAL TREAT, WE'LL GO OFF SCRIPT FOR A MOMENT, AND I'M GOING TO RECOGNIZE GOVERNOR HUTCHENS, GOING TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR CAMPUS POLICE, OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST THAT ARE WITH US THIS MORNING.

SEE IF WE CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO SAY THANK YOU TO EACH ONE OF THEM TODAY.

>> THANK YOU, SIR.

LAST WEEK CHIEF FRED SELLERS HOSTED THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF CHIEFS FROM EACH OF OUR UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES.

IT WAS A GREAT TIME AND GOVERNOR HOLE TON AND MYSELF A -- HOLTON ATENDED AND HE ENJOYED IT AS DID I.

THESE ARE GREAT FOLKS DOING A GREAT JOB, EXEMPLARY PEOPLE.

IN THE CASE OF THOSE RECEIVING RECOGNITION TODAY FOR ACTS OF VALOR, THEIR SERVICE IS LIFESAVING.

IN YOUR FOLDER YOU'LL SEE A PAMPHLET ABOUT POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR.

I INVITE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

ACTUALLY, THIS WAS A TWO-YEAR CONFERENCE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO GATHER IN 2021.

AND I WOULD ALSO SAY MR. CHAIRMAN THE REAL VALUE OF THIS CONFERENCE I THINK IS THESE CHIEFS GETTING TOGETHER, THE COLLEGIALITY IS PALPABLE, THEY ENJOY BEING WITH ONE ANOTHER.

THEY HAVE A GOOD TIME, THEY LEARN PROFESSIONALLY.

BUT GETTING TOGETHER AS KINDRED FOLKS DOING THE SAME JOB UNDER DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES IS IMPORTANT TO THESE PEOPLE.

MARK AND I BOTH ENJOYED IT.

LAST WEEK, AT THIS CONFERENCE, THE POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR FOR 2021 AND 2022 WAS NAMED AND RECOGNIZED AS WERE SEVEN OFFICERS FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EACH ONE OF THEM.

YOU CAN READ ALL OF THE DETAILS IN THIS PLAN.

SO AS I CALL YOUR NAME AND TALK ABOUT YOU, NICELY, IF YOU WOULD STAND UP AND REMAIN STANDING.

FIRST IS DETECTIVE WHITNEY MONT GOPRY FROM UNC ASHEVILLE.

SHE HAS THE HEART OF A MENTOR, WORKING AS INVESTIGATOR, COMPLIANCE OFFICERS AND TRAINER FOR OTHER OFFICERS.

SHE HAS CLOSED MULTIPLE CASES OF LARCENY, BURGLARY, VANDALLISM AND SEXUAL ASSAULT, RECOGNIZED AS POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR FOR 2020.

OFFICER MIKE REYNOLDS, FROM UNC CHARLOTTE.

OFFICER REYNOLDS ENCOUNTERED A VOLATILE SITUATION AT THE LIGHT RAIL STATION ON CAMPUS WHEN HE RESPONDED TO A CALL ABOUT TWO PEOPLE TRYING TO STEAL BY CYCLES.

WHEN HE AND OTHER OFFICERS ARRIVED ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS BRANDISHED A MA CHET I, TRYING TO FLEE TO THE RESIDENCE HALL.

OFFICER REYNOLDS' COMPOSURE AND QUICK THINKING LED TO THE PERSON BEING CORNERED, DISARMED, AND APPREHENDED PEACEFULLY.

HE IS RECOGNIZED AS POLICE OFFICER OF THE YEAR FOR 2021.

CAPTAIN JOHNNY BRUN FROM.

STATE UNIVERSITY, IN 2021 DEPUTIES ARRIVED AT THE SCENE OF A DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

AS THEY BEGAN SEARCHING THE HOME TWO DEPUTIES WERE SHOT.

CAPTAIN BROWN WAS AMONG THE FIRST RESPONDING OFFICER AFTER THE DEPUTIES WERE DOWN.

HE LED A TEAM OF OFFICERS INTO THE HOME WHERE A SUSPECT SHOT AT THE GROUP.

STRIKING AN OFFICER NEXT TO CAPTAIN BROWN, AFTER A GUN BATTLE THE WOUNDED SUSPECT BARRICADED HIMSELF IN THE HOME AND EVENTUALLY TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.

CAPTAIN BROWN ENTERED THE HOME THREE TIMES THAT DAY DURING THIS DANGEROUS MISSION TO TRY AND SAVE THE WOUNDED OFFICERS AND ARREST THE SHOOTER.

HE IS RECOGNIZED FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

OFFICER TYLER GREEN, APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY AND OFFICER WILLIAM BROWN, AND OFFICER MIKE FECTU EAST CAROLINA, IN SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN 2021 THESE THREE OFFICERS USED CRISIS INTERVENTION SKILLS TO PREVENT SUICIDAL INDIVIDUALS FROM HARMING THEMSELVES, IN EACH CASE THE OFFICERS ENCOUNTERED EMOTIONALLY DISTRESSED PEOPLE AND ENGAGED THEM IN COME PASSIONATE CONVERSATION BEFORE TAKING THEM TO SAFETY.

THEY ARE RECOGNIZED FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

OFFICER SHELTON HARRIS AND GREG HUGHES, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY, IN SEPTEMBER 2021 DURING NCCU'S FIRST HOME FOOTBALL GAME, GUNSHOTS RANG OUT FROM A PARKING DECK ON CAMPUS.

HARRIS AND HUGHES IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED TO THE PARKING DECK WHERE TWO PEOPLE HAD BEEN SHOT.

THE OFFICERS PERFORMED CPR ON THE VICTIMS UNTIL EM.

TEAMS ARRIVED.

THEY ARE RECOGNIZED FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

OFFICER MATTHEW PRUITT, NORTH CAROLINA ARBORETUM, RUSHED TO THE AID OF A MOTHER WHOSE TODDLER WAS UNRESPONSIVE FROM A SEIZURE IN A CAR ON CAMPUS.

THE OFFICER PULLED THE CHILD FROM THE CAR AND BEGAN LIFESAVING MEASURES.

OFFICER PRUITT KEPT THE CHILD SAFE AND AIRWAY CLEAR UNTIL THE MEDICAL HELP ARRIVED.

HE IS RECOGNIZED FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN THANKING THESE DEDICATED AND HEROIC OFFICERS.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU GOVERNOR HUTCHENS O BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE BOARD THANK YOU ALL.

WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO.

WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO THE BUSINESS OF THE DAY AND WE WE WILL CONSIDER ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM 6 ON TODAY'S AGENDA.

ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE REMOVED?

GOFF FORD?

>> I'LL PULL BRIEFLY THE EXCEEDING THE POLICY LIMIT FOR NONRESIDENTIAL FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT.

>> ITEM C REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ANY OTHER ITEM MEMBERS WISH TO HAVE REMOVED?

HEARING NONE I ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA EXCEPT FOR ITEM C. >> SO MOVED.

>> PROPERLY SECONDED MOTION, ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> AYE.

>> NO LIKE SIGN.

MOTION PASSES, THANK YOU.

SO WE WILL NOW CONSIDER ITEM C, AND LET'S OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION, GOVERNOR FORD I'M GUESSING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST.

>> SIMPLY WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOVERNOR HOLMES AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSING THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AT LENGTH YESTERDAY.

GOVERNOR HOLMES' COMMITMENT TO REVIEW THE POLICY GOING FORWARD.

AND THEN SECONDLY, LOOKING AT A FAIR WAY TO NOT PUNISH THE UNIVERSITIES WHO WE HAVE GRANTEDED ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY OVER THE FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT CAP.

THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

WITH THAT BEING SAID, I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS ITEM PUNISHING AN HSI FOR BEING SUCCESSFUL.

WE HAVE OUT OF STATE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO ATTEND ONE OF OUR INSTITUTIONS BECAUSE OF ITS HISTORY AND BECAUSE OF THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE GOOD AND DELIVER ON A PROMISE TO PROVIDE A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT NO OUT OF STATE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN HARMED AND THAT NO OUT OF STATE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN DENIED ADMISSION INTO NORTH CAROLINA, BUT WE HAVE HIGH DEMAND.

FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING, WE'VE GOT CAMPUSES THAT IN A TIME AND ENVIRONMENT THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH ENROLLMENT.

HERE WE HAVE ONE OF OUR HMSIs THAT IS EXPERIENCING HISTORICAL SEASONAL GROWTH.

FUNDAMENTALLY CANNOT SUPPORT A POLICY THAT IS GOING TO TAKE $2 MILLION AWAY FROM THE UNIVERSITY WHEN IN REALITY THEY COULD USE EVERY DIME THAT THEY CAN GET TO CONTINUE THAT MISSION.

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE THESE BRIEF REMARKS AND THANK TO YOU MY COLLEAGUES FOR LISTENING TO ME.

>> YES, SIR, THANK YOU GOVERNOR FORD.

GOVERNOR HOLMES?

>> COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND GOVERNOR FORD'S POINT.

THIS MATTER WAS DISCUSSED EXTENSIVELY IN THE PLANNING COMMITTEE.

OUR ACTIONS WERE PURELY ADMINISTRATIVE PANNED CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY THAT EXISTS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION AROUND THE POLICY AND WE WILL PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA TO DISCUSS.

I DO HOPE THE CHANGES TO THE CAPS ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS A NONEVENT.

BUT WE HAVE A RULE THAT IS IN PLACE, WE HAVE ADJUDICATED THIS RULE, NOT OFTEN, BUT CONSISTENTLY.

WE DID POINT OUT YESTERDAY THAT WE HAVE RULED ON THIS BEFORE, WE WERE OVERRULED BY THE LEGISLATURE WHEN WE ADJUDICATED THIS MATTER.

SO I TAKE GOVERNOR FORD'S POINT, I THINK IT REQUIRES CONVERSATION AND DELIBERATE THINKING VERSUS JUST A CHANGE AT THE BOARD LEVEL.

I DID DISCUSS WITH THE CHANCELLOR YESTERDAY, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE LIKES THE PENALTY BUT HE ACCEPTED THE PENALTY, HE BENEFITTED FROM THE EXCESS OUT OF STATE STUDENTS.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE TO BE CONSISTENT UNTIL WE HAVE THOROUGH CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW THIS POLICY INTERACTS WITHIN OUR CURRENT FRAMEWORK SUGGESTED BY GOVERNOR HUTCHENS.

AND YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT IT WILL BE ON AN AGENDA VERY SHORTLY TO DISCUSS THOROUGHLY.

I HOPE THAT WE WILL REPLAIN CONSISTENT WITH THIS MATTER, TAKE YOUR POINT, AND HOPE WE VOTE TO MOVE THIS ON AS PRESENTED.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR HOLMES.

OTHERS?

LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS?

I DO SUPPORT WHAT'S COMING OUT OF BUDGET AND FINANCE, GOVERNOR FORD I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT COMPLETELY.

I THINK AS WE CHANGE THESE CAPS ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES THAT ARE HAVING CHALLENGES AND ASSUMING WE CHANGE IT, HAVEN'T PASSED THAT YET, HAVE WE.

I THINK WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF OUR CAMPUSES.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE WANT TO ENSURE IS NO NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE LEFT BEHIND OF THE QUALIFIED NORTH CAROLINIAN WANTS TO ATTEND A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY, I THINK IT IS INCUMBENT TO ENSURE THAT IS ABLE TO TAKE PLACE.

TO YOUR POINT I DO NOT THINK THAT IS TAKING PLACE N. AT NORTH CAROLINA ENT, CHANCELLOR MARTIN AND HIS TEAM ARE DOING A GREAT WITH JOB, THEY HAVE ENROLLMENT CHALLENGES THE OTHER DIRECTION.

IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PASS ITEM C ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

MOTION, SECOND.

MOTION PROPERLY SECONDED, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

>> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSED.

>> NAY.

>> NOTED, MR. WELLFORD AND MR. FORD WERE NAYS.

MS. NICHOLS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE WILL CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLMES TO REPORT ON BUDGET AND FINANCE.

>> THANK YOU.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS DURING THE REGULAR MEETING YESTERDAY THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FINANCE CONTINUED THE DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED PERFORMANCE WEIGHTED FUNDING MODEL.

THIS COMPONENT IS KEY TO ALIGNING THE FUNDING MOPPED WELL THE STRATEGIC GOALS AND CREATING INCENTIVES TO FOCUS ON INCREASING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUCCESS.

INCREASING AFFORDABILITY AND IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY.

I'D LIKE TO JUST MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS VERY BRIEFLY.

I WANT TO THANK FIRST AND FOREMOST LEE, SOME WHERE AROUND HERE, LEE ROBERTS AND JENNIFER HAYGOOD AND JENNIFER'S TEAM, THIS HAS BEEN A MONTH'S LONG EFFORT, SOMETHING THAT FOLKS HAVE TRIED TO DO FOR DECADES, I BELIEVE, WOULD BE A FAIR ASSESSMENT.

WITH THEIR LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE.

AND THE SUPPORT OF THIS BOARD.

WE WERE ABLE TO BRING A MODEL TO BEAR.

I WANT TO REITERATE FOR THE ENTIRE BOARD THAT IF THERE ARE CONCERNS OR CHALLENGES WE'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO THEM.

WE WILL MODIFY AS NEED BE, BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT, HAS BEEN EXPRESSED BY MANY CHANCELLORS THAT, WE ALLOW FOR CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY TO ALLOW THINGS TO TAKE THEIR COURSE.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE EVERY MEETING CONVERSATION ABOUT AN IDIOSYNCRATIC TWEAK.

WE NEED TO LET THIS MODEL WORK AND BE THOUGHTFUL.

WE WILL REVIEW, WE WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN, AND MY FINAL THANK YOU IS TO EVERYONE ON THE CAMPUS WHO PARTICIPATED, I THINK THIS WAS A DELIBERATE, MEANINGFUL PROCESS WHERE EVERYBODY HAD INPUT.

WE MADE CHANGES.

AND IT'S NOT PERFECT ARE.

BUT I BELIEVE IT'S BETTER AND I HOPE YOU BELIEVE IT'S BETTER AND I SAY THANKS TO EVERYBODY THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE PROCESS.

I THINK WE HAVE GOTTEN TO A GOOD PLACE AND WE WILL ONLY MAKE IT BETTER FROM HERE.

AT THIS TIME MR. CHAIRMAN ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FINANCE I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS APPROVE THE PROPOSED PERFORMANCE WEIGHTED COMPONENT OF THE FUNDING MODEL.

>> AS A BOARD YOU HAVE HEARDTED MOTION DOES NOT REQUIRE A SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE?

HEARING NONE ALL IN FAVOR.

>> AYE.

>> OPPOSED LIKE SIGN.

MOTION PASSES, CONGRATULATIONS GOVERNOR HOLMES.

>> SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT JENNIFER HAYWOOD PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS INDICATING THREE INSTITUTIONS ARE EXPERIENCING ENROLLMENT DECLINES THAT EXCEED LEVELS THAT CAN BE READILY ABSORBED BY INSTITUTIONAL BUDGETS.

THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THESE SIGNIFICANT SHORT TERM LOSSES IN FUNDING WILL HAVE ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE LONG TERM SYSTEM GOALS.

THE COMMITTEE APPROVED A PROPOSAL TO LIMIT THE MAXIMUM APPROPRIATE LOSS ASSOCIATED WITH ENROLLMENT DECLINES OVER TWO YEARS TO 4.5% OF THE CURRENT YEAR CERTIFIED BUDGET.

THIS ADJUSTMENT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE THESE INSTITUTIONS SOME ADDITIONAL ONE-TIME SUPPORT WHILE THEY IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO STABILIZE ENROLLMENT AND RIGHT SIZE INSTITUTIONS.

STAFF WILL INCORPORATE THIS CAP ON ENROLLMENT RELATED LOSS WHEN IS FINALIZING THE FUNDAMENTAL MODEL CALCULATION WHICH WILL COME TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL IN FEBRUARY.

JUST A BRIEF COMMENT HERE, LOTS OF GREAT CONVERSATION AROUND THIS PROPOSAL.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUING REGULARLY BUT I THINK CHANCELLOR GILLIAM ARTICULATED VERY WELL THAT THESE INSTITUTIONS CAN'T PIVOT AS GLIMBLE AS AS PRIVATE ENTERPRISE AND THEY NEED A RUNWAY.

I THINK WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING HERE TO SUPPORT THESE INSTITUTIONS.

I HOPE IN FEBRUARY, AFTER CONSIDERING THIS PROPOSAL, WE WILL ALL SUPPORT IT.

NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL STATE UNIVERSITY'S OUT OF STATE FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT HAS EXCEEDED THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM POLICY FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR.

THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO ALLOCATE THE REDUCED NORTH CAROLINA STATE A AND T'S PHYSICAL 22-23 FUNDING AMOUNT OF $1.9 MILLION 546 TO THE BOARD'S UNC NEED-BASED GRANT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM.

WE JUST APPROVED THAT A MINUTE AGO.

COMMITTEE ALSO APPROVED A NUMBER OF REQUESTS RELATING TO CAPITAL PROJECTS INCLUDING APPROVAL OF THE UNC SYSTEM INSTITUTION SPECIFIC 22-23 MINOR R AND R CAPITAL PROJECTS, $60 MILLION, REPORTED TO THE FISCAL RESEARCH DIVISION N ADDITION APPROVAL TO ALLOW THE UNASSIGNED COST ESCALATION AND CONTINGENCY RESERVE TO BE APPLIED TO AN APPROVED R AND R PROJECT UPON REQUEST OF THE CONSTITUENT INSTITUTION AND TO INCLUDE THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE CONTINGENCIES IN THE ANNUAL REPORT OF REALLOCATED FUNDS.

AUTHORIZATION OF 7 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT THREE INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING 8.3 MILLION FOR NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS AND 2.6 MILLION FOR INCREASED AUTHORIZATION.

FINALLY, THE COMMITTEE RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM VICE PRESIDENT KATHERINE LYNN ON THE STATE CONSTRUCTION INFRASTRUCTURE FUND CAPITAL PROJECT PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES OVER $2 BILLION IN CAPITAL PROJECTS AUTHORIZED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DURING THE LAST LONG SESSION N TOTAL THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED 7 ITEMS DURING YESTERDAY'S MEETING, THREE OF WHICH WERE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA WE APPROVED MOMENTS AGO.

THANK YOU CHAIR RAMSEY, THIS CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR HOLMES, GLAD YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT TO DO IN BUDGET AND FINANCE.

YOU NEED TO TAKE ON ANOTHER THING OR TWO.

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR SLOAN FOR THE REPORT ON ED PLANNING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS.

>> THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

AT OUR MEETING YESTERDAY THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS HEARD THE UFT NC SYSTEM FALL 2022 ENROLLMENT REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LICENSURE AND STATE AUTHORIZATION PROCESS.

DISCUSSIONS WERE HELD ON A POTENTIAL REVISION TO SECTION 700.1.1 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL, POLICY ON MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEM AND ACTIONS PURCHASE SUNTD TO SECTION 700.1.3 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL POLICY ON OUT OF STATE UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT.

TWO PROPOSED POLICY REVISIONS WERE APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.

PROPOSED REVISION TO SECTION 7 HUB.10.1 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL, POLICY ON AWARDING UNDERGRADUATE CREDIT ON THE BASIS OF ADVANCED COURSE EXAMINATION SCORES WAS APPROVED WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE FULL BOARD THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA AT THE NEXT MEETING.

THE PROPER POISED REVISION TO SECTION 700.1.3 OF THE UNC POLICY MANUAL POLICY ON NONRESIDENT UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT WAS APPROVED AND WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE FULL BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING AS WELL.

THANK YOU MR. SXHARM, THIS CONCLUDES MY -- MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

MR. WADE MAKI CHAIR OF THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY WILL GIVE HIS REPORT AND UPDATE.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR SLOAN.

GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING.

>> THANK YOU TO ECU FOR HOSTING US, CHANCELLOR ROGERS, THE PLANNING TEAM, TO THE STAFF, FACULTY AND STUDENTS I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF.

YOU HAVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL HERE AT ECU.

AND IN HONOR I'M WEARING MY BEST PIRATE PURPLE.

ON BEHALF OF FACULTY AT UNCG, UNCA AND UNC PEPBROKE I THANK THE GOVERNORS FOR SUPPORTING THIS ONE-TIME STOP LOSS.

OUR FACULTY ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH OUR CHANCELLORS TO MAKE STRATEGIC RIGHT-SIZING DECISIONS WITH THIS TIME THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US.

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT TO THE BOARD AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WELCOME YOU HAVE PROVIDED ME AND THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE HAD IN THE HALLWAYS, DURING LUNCH, OR WHEN SEVERAL OF THE GOVERNORS AND PRESIDENT HANS VISITED UNCG EARLIER THIS MONTH.

WE HOPE OUR VISIT WAS POSITIVE, AND THAT YOU ENJOYED SEEING OUR NEW E SPORTS ARENA.

SOME FACULTY ENCOURAGED ME TO CHALLENGE THE GOVERNORS TO AN E SPORTS MATCH BUT I'M AFRAID WE COULDN'T COMPETE, YOU CLEARLY HAVE A RINGER IN GOVERNOR PALMA.

THROUGH THESE INTERACTIONS AND OBSERVING BOARD OF GOVERNOR MEETINGS I'VE COME TO LEARN THE WAY GOVERNORS INDIVIDUALLY SUPPORT CORE VALUES SUCH AS IMPROVING TEACHER TRAINING OF READING SO THAT WE CAN IMPROVE CHILDREN'S READING PERFORMANCE.

OPERATING OUR INSTITUTIONS MORE EFFICIENTLY, PROTECTING HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDS AND RIGOROUS DEGREES THAT PROVIDE GRADUATES THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED.

FACULTY ALSO CONTINUE TO DO WORLD CLASS WORK.

FOR EXAMPLE, IS THERE DAVID J. WEBER AT HOOP MANY HILL PUBLISHED HIS 50th PAPER ABOUT CORONAVIRUS AND COVID 19 THIS YEAR, AND THIS MONTH WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE SOCIETY FOR HEALTHCARE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF AMERICA.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE WORLD CLASS EXCELLENCE OF OUR FACULTY.

LAST TIME I SHARED MY GOAL OF THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY GETTING TO KNOW THE SYSTEM.

CHAIR RAMSEY AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE COMMITTEE ON AUDIT, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND COMPLIANCE HELD ITS COMMITTEE MEETING YESTERDAY.

THE OPEN SESSION MEETING INCLUDED MULTIPLE INFORMATIVE ITEMS ON TOPICS SUCH AS HMSI ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT SUMMARY, SYSTEMWIDE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES AND AUDIT PLANS, SAFETY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS, AND A REPORT FROM THE JOINT CYBER SECURITY TASK FORCE THAT WAS BOTH INFORMATIVE AND FRIGHTENING.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE SLIDE SHOWING THAT MR. SENTRA BROUGHT, IT IS SCARY.

SHAWN ROBINSON BRIEFED THE COMMITTEE ON RISK OVERVIEW, THE HMSI CHANCELLORS PARTICIPATED IN A ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION ON OCTOBER 22nd AND SHARED DATA AND DETAILS ON THEIR ENTERPRISE RISK.

MICHAEL BRIEFED THE COMMITTEE ON THE SYSTEMWIDE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES FISCAL YEAR 2022, AND 2022 INTERNAL AUDIT FINDINGS.

BETWEEN JULY 1, 2021 AND JUNE 30, 2022, INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE UNC SYSTEM COMPLETED RISK ANALYSIS, RISK ASSESSMENTS, AUDITS, ADVISORY SERVICES, AUDIT FINDING FOLLOWUPS, AND INVESTIGATIONS RESULTING IN 240 REPORTS.

THOSE INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES PRODUCED 356 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERNAL CONTROLS.

CORRESPONDING MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED.

THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE UNC SYSTEMWIDE INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN FOR 2022-23 AS PRESENTED AND THIS BOARD APPROVED IT AS WELL IN THE CONSENT AGENDA.

HE ALSO REPORTED THAT EACH CONSTITUENT UNIVERSITY SUBMITTED THEIR INTERNAL AUDIT PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE INSTITUTION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

THE CARMAC COMMITTEE REVIEWED AND APPROVED ALL OF THE AUDIT SUMMARIES SUBMITTED BY EACH INSTITUTION.

CHIEF SELLERS REPORTED ON THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OPERATIONS AT THE TRAINING ACADEMY.

THE UNC SYSTEM JOINT TRAINING PROGRAM FOR OUR CAMPUS LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE TRAINING ACADEMY HAS PROVEN TO BE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, COLLABORATIVE, AND COST EFFECTIVE.

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE TRAINING ACADEMY HAS ESTABLISHED 36 TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES.

EACH OF YOU ARE WELCOME TO TRAVEL TO THE TRAINING FACILITY AND PARTICIPATE IN SOME OF THE TRAINING EXERCISES THERE INCLUDING THE LASER GUN, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THEY CALL IT, WHAT THE KIDS DO.

BUT HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AS A TRAINING TOO.

A LOT OF FUN.

THE COMMITTEE HEARD AN INFORMATIVE REPORT FROM THE JOINT TASK FORCE CYBER SECURITY, SPECIFICALLY THE JCTF PROVIDES SECURITY INCIDENT RESPONSES IN COORDINATION FORENSICS, RESOURCE SUPPORT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES TO EDUCATIONAL ENTITIES LIKE SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OF THAT BEEN THE TARGET OF SIGNIFICANT CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT.

AS WAS REPORTED, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IF YOU HAVE AN ENTITY THAT RECEIVES STATE OR FEDERAL FUNDING THEN YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE JOINT FORCE ON CYBER SECURITY.

IT IS A TERRIFIC OPERATION THAT IS SAVING A LOT OF MONEY.

A SINGLE INCIDENT OF THESE INVASIONS OF THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM, RANSOM SOFTWARE, THE CURATIVE COST OF THOSE IS OVER $650,000.

SO THIS AGENCY WILL ASSIST YOU IN PREVENTING THAT HAPPENING TO YOUR AGENCY.

IT WAS A TERRIFIC REPORT.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR HUTCHENS.

I WANT TO MENTION, THE WORK THIS COMMITTEE IS DOING IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

THE CHALLENGES OF CYBER SECURITY ARE BUBBLING MORE AND MORE TO THE TOP.

I WAS REMINDED YESTERDAY, THE CONVERSATION MR. HUTCHENS PUT IT PERFECTLY, IT WAS SCARY, THE REPORT WE GOT.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE CHANCELLORS OR IF THEY CAN'T BE THERE CHIEFS OF STAFF OR OTHERS TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS TO UNDERSTAND AS MUCH AS WE CAN ABOUT THIS AREA AND I ENCOURAGE BOARD MEMBERS TO DO THE SAME.

MS. McCULLEN AND I AND THE VICE CHAIR WILL WORK TO SEPARATE THE COMMITTEE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SOMETIMES IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT LIKE THIS WEEK, BUT I ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.

I'LL CALL ON GOVERNOR POWERS FOR THE COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN RAMSEY.

I CANNOT LET THE OCCASION PASS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON HOW APPRECIATIVE I AM TO SEE OUR POLICE OFFICERS FROM AROUND THE SYSTEM HERE.

WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL TRAGIC INCIDENTS ON OUR CAMPUSES AND HEARD GREAT EXAMPLES TODAY OF HOW SEVERAL MORE WERE PREVENTED AND AVERTED.

I WAS HONORED, TALKING TO CHIEF BAKER FROM UNC CHARLOTTE, I WAS HONORED TO BE AT CHARLOTTE FOR GRADUATION DAYS AFTER THE SHOOTING IN 2019.

I COULD SEE THE ANGUISH ON THE OFFICERS' FACES OF WHAT THEY HAD BEEN THROUGH.

I WAS PROUD OF THEM HOW THEY DO THEIR JOB.

WE HAVE A LOT OF UNSUNG HEROS ON OUR CAMPUSES, FACULTY, STAFF, ADMINISTRATORS.

BUT NOBODY MORE SO THAN OUR POLICE STAFF.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND FOR WHAT YOU DO.

MR. CHAIRMAN, YESTERDAY THIS COMMITTEE ON TRA STEEJIC INITIATIVES HELD ITS THIRD IN A SERIES OF MEETINGS EXAMINING THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP.

DURING YESTERDAY'S MEET BEING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM FOUR OF THE SYSTEMS' LONGEST SERVING CHANCELLORS ON HOW THE JOB HAS CHANGED DURING THEIR TENURE.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT LEADING A CAMPUS IN THE SYSTEM AND WHAT THEY SEE IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FACING FUTURE LEADERS.

I'M GRATEFUL TO CHANCELLOR HAROLD MARTIN OF A AND T, CHANCELLOR SHERRY EVERETS OF APPALACHIAN STATE, CHANCELLOR ROBIN CUMMINGS OF UNC PEPBROKE AND RANDY WOODSON OF NORTH CAROLINA STATE FOR THEIR THOUGHTFUL COMMENTS ON THE DEMANDS AND THE JOYS OF SERVING AS A CHANCELLOR.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. DAVID CRABTREE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PBS NORTH CAROLINA FOR MASTERFUL JOB AS MODERATOR.

I MAY TURN THAT JOB OVER TO YOU FOR THE REST OF OUR MEETINGS IN THE NEW YEAR.

CHANCELLORS HELPED OUR COMMITTEE UNDERSTAND THE EVOLVING DEMANDS OF THE JOBS AND THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT, THAT HAVE HELPED THEM SUCCEED.

CHANCELLOR WOODSON STRESSED THE DISTINCT GOVERNANCE MODEL IN NORTH CAROLINA AND THE NEED TO ENSURE THAT LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES UNDERSTAND THAT STRUCTURE AND THE WAYS THAT SHAPE THE CHANCELLOR'S JOB.

CHANCELLOR MARTIN REMARKED ON THE INCREASE IN EXTERNAL FACING ACTIVITIES, RELATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY, ALUMNI, GOVERNING BOARDS AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

AND THE NEED TO BALANCE SEVERAL DIFFERENT CONSTITUENCIES THAT OFTEN HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

CHANCELLOR CUMMINGS SUGGESTED IN A A SUCCESSFUL UNIVERSITY LEADER MUST BE A GOOD LISTENER AND HIGH IN EQ, WHILE CHANCELLOR EVERETS COMMUNICATED THE NEED TO COMMUNICATE REGULARLY AND DIRECTLY WITH THE CONSTITUENCIES.

THE PORTRAIT THAT EMERGED AS CHANCELLOR WOODSON DESCRIBE A COMBINATION OF A BIG CITY MAYOR AND CHIEF EXECIVE OFFICER.

LIKE MAYOR THE CHANCELLOR JUST BALANCE COMPETING PRIORITIES OF VARYING CONSTITUENCIES, BUT LIKE A GOOD CEO THE CHANCELLOR MUST BUILD STRONG HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS AND PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE BALANCE SHEET.

EACH CHANCELLOR REMARKED ON THE IMPORTANCE AND COMPLEXITY OF ATHLETICS AND THE LACK OF PREPARATION FOR THAT ASPECT OF THE JOB IN MORE TRADITIONAL PATHWAYS TO THE PRESIDENCY.

CHANCELLOR MARTIN SHARED -- ARGUED THAT UNDERSTANDING AND MONITORING THE FUTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY OF UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS IS A KEY SKILL FOR CHANCELLORS.

CHANCELLOR EVERETS CITED SUCCESS IN ATHLETICS INCREASED APPLICATIONS AS WELL AS EXPECTATIONS FOR FUTURE SUCCESS.

WE CONCLUDED WITH THE DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO SUPPORT FUTURE LEADERS AS THEY TAKE ON THE ROLE.

CHANCELLOR WOODSON RECOMMENDED THAT SEARCH ONBOARDING PROCESSES BE SURE TO ORIENT CANDIDATES TO THAT GONE ANSWER STRUCTURE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE UNC SYSTEM.

CHANCELLOR EVERETS RECOMMENDED THAT THE SYSTEM CONTINUE TO PRACTICE PREPARING NEW CHANCELLORS WITH VETERAN CHANCELLORS FOR MENTORSHIP.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL DISCUSSION, YOU PROVIDED A WINDOW INTO YOUR JOBS WE DON'T OFTEN SEE AND INSIGHTS WILL HELP US A GREAT DEAL AS WE CONSIDER ANY MODIFICATIONS TO POLICY AND PRACTICE AROUND CHANCELLOR SEARCH AND SELECTION.

WITH THREE FACT FINDING SESSIONS COMPLETED, AND THREE MORE PLANNED WITH FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS WE WILL NOW START TO SYNTHESIZE WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED AND BEGIN TO DEVELOP PROPOSED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SYSTEM POLICY AND PRACTICE OF THE WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT INPUT FROM KEY STAKEHOLDERS AS WE DO, AS WADE MENTIONED I WILL BE ATTENDING THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY IN FEBRUARY AND HOPE TO DO LIKE MEETINGS WITH STAFF, I'M GOING TO SPEND TIME WITH STUDENTS A FRIDAY NIGHT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SUMMARIZING OUR FINDINGS AND DISCUSSING POTENTIAL REFORMS OR CHANGES AT OUR MEETING IN JANUARY.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU, THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR POWERS, ENJOYED THAT CONVERSATION YESTERDAY, LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OF THEM.

I WILL CALL ON GOVERNOR BYERS FOR REPORT ON LAB SCHOOLS.

>> YOU KNOW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION.

FIRST, I'M GOING TO FOLLOW AFTER MY BROTHER, DAVID POURS, CHANCELLORS AS GREAT A JOB AS YOU DO, GREAT UNC SYSTEM AS WE HAVE, AND AS PROUD AS I AM TO BE PART OF THE PEOPLE AROUND THIS TABLE, NOW FOR SEVEN YEARS, WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE BEHIND MIKE WILIFORD YOU CAN'T DO YOUR JOB.

I'M TELLING YOU UP FRONT.

IF YOU READ THE MEDIA, YOU READ WHAT GOES ON AS WE'VE EXPERIENCED LAST WEEK WITH UVA AND OTHER SCHOOLS, WITHOUT WHAT THEY DO WE HAVE AN UNSAFE CAMPUS.

IT IS A SOFT AREA, SOFT TARGET, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS.

BECAUSE OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN WE'RE SAFE.

WE'RE SAFE TO BE HERE, OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE, DR. WOODSON, MY NIECE IS SAFE, IF NOT I'D BE STAYING WITH YOU AND LIVING IN RALEIGH L. BUT I WILL SAY TO EACH OF YOU WHAT AN HONOR IT'S ALWAYS AN HONOR TO BE WITH THIS GROUP.

TODAY IT IS A GREATER HONOR BECAUSE OF YOU.

AND MY LAWYER MIKE WILLIFORD IN FRONT OF YOU, AFTER I DIED LAST YEAR, SOME OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW, THIS MADE A CAREER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, CHIEF BAKER KNOWS BECAUSE I RAN HARD WITH CHIEF BAKER IN THE DAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHO HAS MORE GRAY HAIR ME OR HIM BUT HE LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER THAN I DO.

WITH THAT SAID I'M QUALIFIED IN JANUARY FOR MY POLICE RETIREMENT, MY SHERIFF'S RETIREMENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY, CHIEF.

[LAUGHING] MY POINT BEING, CHANCELLORS, THEY WORK HARD AND DO A GREAT JOB.

LET'S ALWAYS HONOR THEM AND ALWAYS, BOARD, TAKE CARE OF THESE MEN AND WOMEN WHO TAKE CARE OF US EACH AND EVERY DAY.

WITH THAT SAID, I WAS SUPPOSED TO SPEAK ABOUT -- [ APPLAUSE ] -- LAB SCHOOLS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I KNOW I'LL GET AN UGLY LETTER SAYING I ALWAYS GET OFFTOPIC AND STUFF, PUT THAT WITH THE OTHER 200 IN MY FILE.

LAST THURSDAY THE SUB COMMITTEE ON LABORATORY SCHOOLS APPROVED THE 2021-22 LAB SCHOOL EVALUATION REPORT.

THE APPROVAL OF THIS REPORT REVEALS THE STATUTORY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ABOUT LABORATORY SCHOOLS DEMOGRAPHICS, ADMISSIONS PROCESSES, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA, EDUCATOR PREPARATION PROGRAMS, STUDENT OUTCOMES, AND BEST PRACTICES.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE HEARD A PREPARATION -- I'M SORRY, PRESENTATION FROM RESEARCHERS AT UNC CHAPEL HILL AND PUBLIC IMPACT A NONPROFIT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION.

THE RESULTS SHOW THAT PARENTS HAVE POSITIVE VIEWS OF OUR LAB SCHOOLS, THEY GENERALLY GIVE THE SCHOOL HIGHER MARKS THAN SCHOOLS WHERE THEIR CHILDREN PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED.

MUCH WORK REMAINS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS REACH PROFICIENCY BUT THE LAB SCHOOLS MET GROWTH EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY CATEGORY.

WE MUST NOW REDOUBLE, WENDY, OUR EFFORTS.

TO ENSURE THAT MORE CHILDREN REACH PROFICIENCY IN READING, MATH, AND SCIENCE.

THE COMMITTEE HAD A ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO REPORTING ON THE PROGRESS VERY SOON.

THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN.

THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU GOVERNOR BYERS NO, UGLY LETTER SINCE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT.
