UNC System Racial Equity Task Force to host virtual town halls
The UNC System Racial Equity Task Force will be hosting virtual town halls from Oct. 23-29. The task force will be actively listening and using your feedback to inform its recommendations to the Board of Governors and UNC System Office.
The UNC System Racial Equity Task Force invites you to participate in one of the remaining virtual town halls taking place Oct. 23-29.
The task force wants to hear your experiences, ideas, and/or questions about race and equity at your institution and in the UNC System. The task force will be actively listening and using your feedback to inform its recommendations to the Board of Governors and UNC System Office. These town halls will provide a space for you to share input, with opportunities to do so anonymously as well. Space is limited,so some attendees may be waitlisted. If your registration is waitlisted, you may receive a confirmation email later.
Thank you for your interest in participating and sharing tangible steps you believe can be taken across the UNC System in pursuit of equity and understanding.

Student, Faculty and Staff Session (new combined)
The UNC System Racial Equity Task Force was established to examine the legacy of race and racism in North Carolina’s public higher education system, how that history shapes and impacts the experiences of our students, faculty, staff and communities, and arrive at an actionable path forward that will build a culture of inclusion across our institutions. These town halls will build on our survey responses that students, faculty and staff shared in September, and will inform the Racial Equity Task Force’s recommendations that will be proposed in December. You can learn more about the Task Force’s efforts on the UNC System website, and you’re welcome to send us additional thoughts, concerns, and valuable input through our “Share Your Ideas” form.
Sincerely,
