Background

UNC trustees resolution supports system strength, legislative efforts and campus autonomy 

Following is the text formally approved today (July 28) in a unanimous vote by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Board of Trustees regarding the board’s relationship with the University of North Carolina System and the issue of campus tuition-setting authority.

We affirm the value of the University of North Carolina System and remain committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s role within the system.

In a time of restricted state budget, we applaud efforts by elected officials and the Board of Governors to provide flexible funding alternatives that can help achieve our goals of becoming the nation’s top public university.
