Meeting Overview January 2023


Civility pledge 

Another highlight of our January meeting was the Board of Trustees’ unanimous, voluntary adoption of a resolution pledging to treat each other with respect and decorum while discussing often routine matters and sometimes contentious policies. We hope to set an example of civility for other members of the University community in how we treat each other, demonstrating we can disagree (even strongly) without being disagreeable.  In essence, the point is to debate the position, not the person. The pledge says:

“To help foster the free exchange of ideas necessary to the search for truth, I pledge to treat all students, faculty, staff, and our entire University community with respect, dignity, courtesy, and generosity of spirit. I acknowledge the value of varying backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and opinions among the members of our diverse University community. We are all fallible – and each of us born equally worthy. I commit humbly to the unending pursuit and advancement of knowledge, understanding, wisdom, acceptance, and mutual support as fellow Tar Heels first and last.”

Carolina’s research funding keeps rising

Thanks to strong leadership, UNC-CH once again ranks 10th for federal funding and 13th overall in national research rankings for public and private universities.

During fiscal year 2020-2021, Carolina increased its annual research expenditures to $1.2 billion across all fields, with federal awards accounting for $748 million. This represents an increase of $46 million over fiscal year 2020.

“We are thrilled to retain our ranking as one of the top research institutions in the nation,” said Interim Vice Chancellor for Research Penny Gordon-Larsen. “And while much of our research is funded through federal sources, it is sustained with investment by the General Assembly, in addition to federal sponsors that allows our research to thrive, making a difference not only in the lives of North Carolinians, but also in our state’s economy.”

Research at Carolina employs over 11,000 North Carolinians in projects that touch all 100 of our state’s counties. Expenditures on research activity represent new revenue for North Carolina’s gross state product, and spending on research supports more than 3,000 businesses across the state.

Research awards and expenditures are the most common measurements of research activity for universities — both of which exceed $1.2 billion at Carolina. The University’s year-to-year growth in research awards typically forecasts an even greater volume of research expenditures in the coming years.

At today’s UNC-CH, the future is ever brighter.
