IT'S NICE TO SEE THE GOVERNORS BACK AT THE TABLE.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

GOVERNOR COAT AD KOTIS, I'M SORU ARE NOT HERE, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU NOT INFECTING US WITH CRUD.

ALL OF THE VOTING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF MEMBERS THANK YOU.

IT'S OUR DUTY TO AVOID THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY HAVE A CONFLICT OR APPEARANCE OF CONFLICTS.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN?

>> YES, SIR?

>> I'LL RECUSE MYSELF FROM ITEMS 8C AND D. >> GOVERNOR POWER, THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE?

THANK YOU.

HEARING NONE, I'LL CALL ON PRESIDENT HANS FOR HIS REPORT.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, YOU KNOW I LOVE A VISUAL AID, SO I'LL START OUT WITH A CHART TO MAKE A POINT.

I APOLOGIZE.

A YEAR AGO, WE WERE VACATING OUR CAMPUSES.

TODAY, WE ARE VACCINATING THEM AGAINST THE VIRUS.

AS OF TODAY, OUR CAMPUS CLINICS HAVE PERFORMED OVER 77,000 VACCINATIONS.

UNC HEALTH ON ITS OWN ACROSS THE STATE OVER 360,000.

TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKING.

A LOT OF EFFORT THAT GOES INTO MAKING THIS POSSIBLE.

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TOWARD GETTING BACK TO NORMAL IN THE FALL.

I VERY MUCH LIKE TO BEGIN MY REPORT, MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH A ROUND OF THANKS TO THE THOUSANDS OF UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES, COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS WHO STEPPED UP TO STAFF THOSE CLINICS.

EVEN WITH THE COMPLICATIONS AROUND VACCINE AVAILABILITY, THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO DO OUTSTANDING WORK IN GIVING OUR FRONT LINE STAFF EASY ACCESS TO THE VACCINE SERVING THE PUBLIC ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA AS ELIGIBILITY OPENED UP MOVING QUICKLY TO VACCINATE AS MANY STUDENTS AS WE CAN BEFORE THE SUMMER BREAK.

I'LL SAY THIS EVERY TIME I GET THE CHANCE, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS, EVERY CITIZEN OF THE STATE TO GET VACCINATED AS YOU CAN.

IT'S THE FASTEST WAY TO OPEN OUR STATE AND ECONOMY.

A LOT OF WORK HAS GONE TO PROVIDING VACCINATIONS, INCLUDING INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE VACCINES WORK, ALL OF THE EFFORT TO MAKE THEM SAFE.

PUBLIC HEALTH DEPENDS ON PUBLIC TRUST.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE MUST CONSTANTLY EARN.

WITH THE PROGRESS WE HAVE SEEN WE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE SMART OF THE FALL SEMESTER.

I'M EAGER TO SEE ALL OF YOU IN THE CLASSROOM, FACE TO FACE CONVERSATIONS, SOCIALIZING MAKING REAL WORLD CONNECTIONS.

IT'S NOT JUST A HAPPIER WAY TO LIVE, BUT IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN THE HEALTH OF OUR STUDENTS.

OUR STAFF HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB SINCE THE PANDEMIC TOOK HOLD LAST SPRING.

MANY HAVE STRUG I STRUGGLED WITE HARDSHIPS.

EVERYTHING I HAVE READ AND HEARD SUGGESTS THAT RECLAIMING A SHARED SOCIAL LIFE IS VITAL FOR OUR STUDENTS.

I THINK THE LAST YEAR HAS GIVEN US A DEEPER APPRECIATION FOR THE SUBSTANCE OF LIFE.

IT'S GIVEN ME A CLOSER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE MEAN TALKING ABOUT THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AND WHY THAT MATTERS TO STUDENTS.

WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE TO HELP A RISING GENERATION MASTER SKILLS AND SUBJECTS THAT PROPEL THEIR CAREERS AND DRIVE OUR ECONOMY.

WE ARE HELPING PEOPLE BUILD FULLER, RICHER LIVES.

HABITS OF THINKING AND BEING THAT DEVELOPMENT AS MUCH FROM CONNECTING TO EACH OTHER AS FROM A LECTURE OF LAB.

WE HAVE BORN THE LOSS OF THAT GRACEFULLY BUT NOT EASILY.

WE CAN'T GET BACK THE LAST TIME BUT WE CAN DO OUR BEST TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

THE RELIEF FUNDS FROM THE GOVERNMENT WILL HELP US GET OUR CAMPUS UP AND RUNNING MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER OPERATIONS WERE REDUCED FOR DINING AND AULG DAUXILLARYSERVICES.

I'M GLAD FOR THE SUPPORT.

I HAVE DIRECTED CHANCELLORS TO USE AS MUCH FUNDING AS THEY CAN TO OFFSET AND REDUCE COST OF ATTENDANCE WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON HOUSING AND DINING FEES.

FOR THE COMING YEARS, THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO SEND A MESSAGE OF WELCOME THE OUR STUDENTS.

I HAVE ASKED WE PUT RESOURCES INTO OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCELERATE CREDIT HOURS, ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS THAT HAVE FALLEN BEHIND OR NEED TO PURSUE A REDUCED CLASS LOAD DUE TO THE INTERRUPTIONS OF THE LAST YEAR AND RECRUITMENT FOR RURAL, LOW INCOME AND UNDER REPRESENTED STUDENTS.

AFTER YEARS OF WELCOMING, THE PANDEMIC PUT A DENT IN ENROLLMENT FROM THOSE GROUPS.

WE NEED TO MAKE UP THAT GROUND AND FAST TO ENSURE ALL NORTH CAROLINIANS PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION.

WE ARE NOT LETTING UP ON THE PRIORITIES THE BOARD APPROVED FOCUSING ON A PLAN OF AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS AS WE HAVE DONE EVERY YEAR SINCE 2017, WE HAD A PERFORMANCE REVIEW FOR EACH INSTITUTION.

I ESPECIALLY WANT TO CALL OUT NCAT, NC STATE, NC CHARLOTTE AND THE SCHOOL OF ARTS FOR MEETING OR EXCEEDING GOALS ON FOUR OF FIVE TARGETS.

NOT TO BE OUT DONE, UNC GREENSBORO NAILED ALL FIVE FOR A THIRD YEAR IN A ROW.

THESE ARE NOT JUST NUMBERS.

EVERY PERCENTAGE POINT IN RURAL ENROLLMENT MEANS HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS GET A LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITY.

EVERY INCREASE IN THE GRADUATION RATE MEANS MORE STUDENTS LEAVING WITH LOWER DEBT AND A VALUABLE DEGREE READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN NORTH CAROLINA.

THERE ARE REAL PEOPLE BEHIND THE NUMBERS, PEOPLE WITH RESPONSIBILITIES AND AMBITIONS, AND WE ALL DON'T FORGET THAT.

I'M SO GLAD TO GET THE CHANCE TO CELEBRATE THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS NEXT MONTH.

OUR CHANCELLORS AND TEAMS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB COMING UP WITH CONTINGENCY PLANS FOR SAFE CEREMONIES FOR THE CLASS OF 2021 CAN ENJOY THE MILESTONE THEY HAVE SO RICHLY EARNED.

THE LOGISTICS TO PULL THIS OFF ARE DAUNTING.

MOST CAMPUSES HOLD TWO OR MORE CEREMONIES TO SAFELY ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE.

THE OCCASIONS MATTER.

I THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT WE HONOR THE WORK THE STUDENTS PUT IN AND WE GIVE FACULTY AND STAFF THE JOY AND ACCOMPLISHMENT THEY HAVE BROUGHT FOR SO MANY.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE PART IN ONE OF THE CEREMONIES.

WE'LL BE MARKING GRADUATION, OF COURSE, BUT I CAN'T HELP FEELING THAT THIS YEAR'S COMMENCEMENT WILL MARK SO MUCH MORE, A TRUE MILESTONE IN THE LIFE OF OUR UNIVERSITY AND OUR STATE.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU.

GREAT REMARKS AS ALWAYS AND THE WORK YOU ARE DOING FOR THE UNIVERSITY IS REMARKABLE.

CHANCELLOR GILLIAM, THANK YOU.

I SAW YOU ON THE SCREEN A MOMENT AGO.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHING IN UNC GREENSBORO AND ALL OF THE CHANCELLORS FOR WHAT THEY ARE ACCOMPLISHING.

>> SINCE UNC ASHEVILLE IS VACCINATING 20,000 PEOPLE, THEY OPENED THEIR CLINIC UP TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC?

>> YES, EACH OF OUR CLINICS HAS DONE SO, SERVING THE COMMUNITY.

I WILL NOTE IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS FROM UNCA AND WESTERN.

MS. COWARD, MOUNTAIN FOLK GET IT DONE.

WE HAVE EXCELLED IN THE NUMBERS.

>> MAYBE IT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD EMPHASIZE AT THE REST OF OUR INSTITUTIONS MORE.

ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT SERVE.

>> THEY WERE EARLY LEADERS IN THE EFFORT.

I WOULD NOTE THAT THERE ARE MANY IN THE COMMUNITY -- UNC PEMBROKE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS.

PEOPLE WILL TRUST UNC PEMBROKE THAT WON'T TRUST OTHER PLACES THAT OFFER VACCINATIONS.

THEIR MOBILE CLINIC HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

>> WELL DONE, CHANCELLOR GABLE AND BROWN AND ALL OF THE REST OF THEM.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POWERS.

WE'LL NOW CONSIDER THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE FOR DISCUSSION?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN?

>> YES, >> YES, SIR, GOVERNOR LONG.

>> ITEM 4M.

>> > ARE THERE OTHERS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BE REMOVED?

THAT BEING SAID, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ITEMS EXCEPT ITEM 4M.

WILL YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE?

[ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> MOTION CARRIES.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS MCCULLOUGH.

SINCE YOU PULLED THE ITEM, I'LL LET YOU DISCUSS THAT, PLEASE, SIR.

>> 18-25%?

>> YES, SIR.

>> THE ONLY -- MY POINT ON THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN -- OR IS IT THE PENALTY WAIVER?

>> THIS IS THE OUT OF STATE ENROLLMENT PERCENTAGES, GOVERNOR LONG.

WE PASSED INTO COMMITTEE LAST MONTH.

THIS IS COMING FORWARD FULL BOARD.

>> MY OPPOSITION IS TO I FELT EACH OF THE SCHOOLS SHOULD HAVE MADE THEIR OWN ARGUMENT INCREASING 18-24 THE NONRESIDENT CAP.

I FELT THAT NC CENTRAL AND NCA & T DID BACK THE PROGRAM BUT I DIDN'T FEEL WINSTON STATE HAD.

THERE IS A BENEFIT TO THE ENROLLMENT CAP.

I OPPOSE THIS POLICY.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT, GOVERNOR LONG.

I WOULD TELL THE BOARD, EXCUSE ME, THAT I ASKED THE SYSTEM OFFICE WHO INQUIRED OF THE CAMPUSES IF THEY HAD ENROLLMENT CAPABILITIES OF DOING THIS WITHOUT DISPLACING NORTH CAROLINA STUDENTS, EACH OF THEM RESPONDED WITH AMPLE ABILITY TO DO THAT GIVEN THAT I WOULD SUPPORT THE MOTION.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

IS THERE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS?

PRESIDENT HANS, I SENSE YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING?

>> YES, SIR.

ARE WE DEBATING THE MOTION TO REMOVE IT FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA?

>> NO, SIR.

IT'S BEEN REMOVED.

>> THANK YOU.

SO, MR. CHAIRMAN, I THINK I SHARE WITH MEMBER OF THE BOARD, WE HAVE MORE PUBLIC HPCUS THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN THE COUNTRY.

I THINK THAT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

WE NEED TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RANKINGS BUT U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT FOR THE TOP 25HPCUS IN OUR COUNTRY, WE HAVE ALL FIVE OF OUR INSTITUTIONS ACCOUNTED FOR, FIVE OUT OF THE TOP 25 IN THE COUNTRY.

OUR STATE IS GROWING, BECOMING MORE DIVERSE.

WE NEED OUR HPCUS TO BE AT FULL STRENGTH.

WE HAVE LOOKED CLOSELY AT HISTORIC UNDERINVESTMENT IN THE UNIVERSITIES.

ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE STEPS WE CAN TAKE IS AMEND THE CAP ON OUT OF STATE STUDENTS AND HBCUS TO WELCOME MORE STUDENTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

YOU WILL RECALL THAT ANT WAS GRANTED A WAIVER NOW EXPIRED TO BE AT 25%, DID THE SAME WITH ELIZABETH CITY, NC CENTRAL AT 25% RIGHT NOW.

WINSTON SALEM IS AT 17%.

PREPARING TO EXCEED THE CAP AT SOME POINT WITH DEMAND THAT WILL BE UNDER THE CA CAP AT THE MOME.

I CAN SEE IT'S AN ISSUE FOR THEM AS WELL.

THIS IMPROVES FINANCIAL STABILITY LONG-TERM, NOT BECAUSE OF OUT OF STATE TUITION.

THAT'S SET BY THE STATE, BUT IN STRENGTHENING AUXILLARY OPERATIONS, THE CAPACITY THEY HAVE IN HOUSING AND DINING ETC.

AND WILL ALLOW CAMPUSES TO HAVE MORE SUPPORT AND A ACADEMIC QUALITY.

IT WILL IMPROVE THE GRADUATION N RATES, BRINGING TALENTED AND AMBITIOUS PEOPLE TO NORTH CAROLINA, INCLUDING THOSE THAT BENEFIT FROM GROWTH.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL DO SO WITHOUT DISPLACING NORTH CAROLINA STUDENTS.

THIS IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF WHY OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO HAVE THIS AROUND THE 5HBCUS AND ONLY THE FIVE HBCUS.

WERE NOT SUGGESTING BROADER CHANGES TO THE OUT OF STATE CAP.

THIS IS A WELL CONSIDERED EFFORT TO STRENGTHEN NORTH CAROLINA'S HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITIES.

IT WILL BUILD ON A POWERFUL LEGACY OF BROADENING ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION.

>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.

I WOULD SAY I DO NOT HAVE AN APPETITE FOR DOING THIS AT ANY OTHER OF OUR CAMPUSES.

I DON'T THINK THE OTHER GOVERNORS DO.

I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE IN THE ROOM AND CHANCELLORS, WE DON'T HAVE APPETITE FOR THIS OUTSIDE OF HPC USE.

THAT BEING SAID, GOVERNOR KOTIS HHAS ASKED TO BE RECOGNIZED.

I'M DOING SO NOW.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

GENERALLY SPEAKING, I OPPOSE RAISING LIMITS ON THE OUT OF STATE CAP.

AS I HAVE SAID SEVERAL TIMES, WE ARE TO PROVIDE THE BENEFITS OF THE UNIVERSITY TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE, NOT THE PEOPLE OF OTHER STATES.

THAT'S MY GENERAL PHILOSOPHY.

I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, AS WE HEARD IN STRATEGIC INITIATIVES YESTERDAY, THAT WE BROADEN OUR APPROACH TO REACH NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS AND LOOK AT PIVOTING.

IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THE STUDENTS WE NEED FOR THE SCHOOLS THAT NEED MORE ENROLLMENT GROWTH, WE NEED TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT BUCKETS OUT THERE RATHER THAN PURSUING OUT OF STATE PEOPLE.

I'LL RELUCTANTLY SUPPORT THIS, BUT I'M OPPOSED TO THE CONCEPT IN GENERAL FOR MOST OF THE SCHOOLS.

THIS IS AN EXCEPTION FOR THE HBCUS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR KOTIS.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN?

>> GOVERNOR POWERS?

>> SOMETHING GOVERNOR HANS SAID STRUCK ME.

SHOULD WE CONSIDER REMOVING MILITARY PERSONNEL FROM THE COUNT ON OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS?

MOST OF THEM ARE IN STATE AT THE TIME, BUT THEY ARE OUT OF STATE REVENUES.

>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND ONE WE NEED TO GIVE THOUGHT TO.

STATE LAW DEFINES THE SERVICE THAT DETERMINES IF YOU ARE IN STATE OR OUT OF STATE.

IT MAY WELL REQUIRE A CHANGE IN THE STATUTE, BUT UNDER CHANCELLOR ALLISON'S LEADERSHIP, I KNOW WE'LL BUILD THE PARTNERSHIPS AT FSU.

THERE IS MUCH ROOM TO GROW THEM AND SERVE PEOPLE WHO WILL HOPEFULLY STAY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND INVIGORATOR ECONOMY.

I BELIEVE THAT ISSUE IS ONE WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU ABOUT, THAT IS THE STATUS OF ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE SERVICE, THEIR FAMILIES AND VETERANS.

I KNOW MR. DAUGHTRY'S COMMITTEE IS MONITORING.

>> ONE THING THAT OCCURRED, THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE STATIONED IN NORTH CAROLINA WITH AN OUT OF STATE RESIDENCE NOW CAN PAY IN STATE TELEVISION.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE A REAL INFLUX OF QUALIFIED VETERANS COMING INTO THE SYSTEM.

IT WILL MAKE ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

>> I THINK OUR MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IS DOING A GREAT JOB IDENTIFYING HOW WE CAN PARTNER WITH OUR MILITARY FOLKS IN NORTH CAROLINA.

IT'S CLEAR THAT THE MILITARY IS VITAL TO THE ECONOMY AND CERTAINLY TO OUR NATION'S SAFETY.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.

>> >> I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A MOTION TO ADDRESSING THE QUESTION.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITS 4N.

DO WE HAVE A SECOND?

>> WE HAVE A SECOND.

IS THERE FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE ITEM?

HEARING NONE, I'LL ASK TO CALL THE ROLL.

[ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR GREENE WITH HIS FINAL PRESENTATION TO US.

WE'LL MISS HIM.

HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

TO REFLECT ON MY TIME IN COLLEGE, IT'S BEEN ANCHORED IN STUDENT GOVERNMENT.

FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS EVERY MONTH, WE WOULD GO.

WE FINISHED UP THE LAST YEAR LAST WEEK AND AFTER THE BOARD MEETING TODAY, MY TIME AS STUDENT GOVERNOR WILL COME TO APP END.

MY TIME AS A STUDENT WILL COME TO AN END AS WELL.

I HAVE APPRECIATED MY TIME ON THE BOARD.

THE EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME A BETTER LEADER AND LISTENER AND ADVOCATE.

EVEN DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET A LOT DONE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS.

AS THE PRESIDENT OF AS TKW-RBGSG RACIALLY MOTIVATED TRAGEDIES, IT CAUSED ME TO DONATE.

AS A STUDENT MEMBER OF BOARD OF GOVERNORS ALONGSIDE THE ASSEMBLY, I STARTED THE RACIAL EQUITY IN THE MIDST OF BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE STUDENT INCLUSION AS A VOTING MEMBER HERE.

WE HAVE GOT A LOT OF WORK DONE HERE.

IN SEPTEMBER, WITH THE START OF TUITION AND FEES TASK FORCE, I'M GRATEFUL TO GOVERNORS MITCHELL AND MURPHY FOR ENSURING STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND BEING A STUDENT MEMBER.

SINCE BEING PLACED ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS IN 1992, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT'S OCCURRED.

I'M GRATEFUL TO HAND THE TORCH TO MY SUCCESSOR AND HOPE THE PROGRESS CAN CONTINUE.

FROM THE MOMENT THE STUDENT BODY WAS ELECTED, WE GOT TO WORK HOLDING REGULAR MEETINGS WITH THE SYSTEM STAFF.

WE HAVE COLLABORATED TO COORDINATE MEETINGS WITH OUR POLICE CHIEFS TO DISCUSS PROGRESS AND PROGRAMS TO BE MADE IN TERMS OF RACIAL EQUITY TASK FORCE AND ADVOCATED FOR THE STUDENT POLICE BODIES TO MAKE THE CAMPUS FEEL LIKE A COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE ALSO WORKED WITH OUR CAMPUS PARTNERS TO ENSURE STUDENTS HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO SUICIDE PREVENTION RESOURCES, SOMETHING I'M GRATEFUL TO THE BOARD FOR HELPING PASS IN FEBRUARY.

WE HAVE MADE IT A PRIORITY TO HEAR AND PASS THE GRADUATE PROFESSIONALS.

THEY MAKE UP 20% OF STUDENTS AND ARE SO OFTEN LEFT OUT OF THE COVERSATION.

WE OFFERED A FIRST EVER MEETING WITH THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT PRESIDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS TO CONTINUE THE INITIATIVE INTO THE NEXT YEAR.

TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALKER WE COMMITTED $10,000 TO THIS INITIATIVE.

WHETHER IT'S HELPING THEM ACCOMPLISH RESEARCH, PRESENT AT CONFERENCES OR MAKING SURE THEY CAN EXCEL DURING THIS TRYING YEAR.

THERE IS ONLY ONE STUDENT MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

OFTEN TIMES COMMITTEE MEETINGS OVER LAP WHICH MEANS THERE IS RARELY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A STUDENT TO BE AT EVERY MEETING.

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER NEAR THE END OF MY TERM, WE ENSURE A STUDENT ON EVERY COMMITTEE OPEN SESSION.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM MORE THAN JUST ME.

THE STUDENTS CAME FROM ACROSS THE UNC SYSTEM.

INTERNALLY, WE HAVE HOSTED SEVEN IN-PERSON MEETINGS, CALLING ON THE STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE TO GATHER FOR A WHOLE WEEKEND.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS YEAR.

WE HELD THE FIRST EVER ASU SESSION.

THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY THAT I HOPE DEPARTMENT DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH CHIEF OF STAFF NORMA HOUSTON AND ENGAGED IN WORK WE WOULD HAVE DONE IN PERSON.

I AM PROUD OF THE ASSEMBLY AND I WANT TO THANK EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT TOOK TIMEOUT OF BEING A FULL TIME STUDENT TO WORK ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER TO MAKE THE STATE BETTER.

LASTLY, WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT MENTAL HEALTH IS TO OUR STUDENTS AND HOW THIS YEAR IMPACTED THEM.

WE STARTED THE FIRST ASC PROGRAM INTENT ON GIVING STUDENTS UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS TO POLICY AND LEADERSHIP ROLES ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

IN RETURN THEY PROVIDE MYSELF AND THE EXECUTIVE BOARD WITH RESEARCH TO GUIDE THE ADEQUACY WORK.

OUR SPRING COHORT WORK ON SOLUTIONS TO MENTAL HEALTH DISPARITIES IN TERMS OF RACE, INSTITUTION AND ACCESS.

I'M HAPPY TO SAY MUCH OF THE WORK ALIGNS WITH THE WORK OF THE SYSTEM OFFICE SINCE MENTAL HEALTH TASK FORCE IS COMING UP WITH AND CONTINUE TO ENGAGE AS WE HEAR FROM THE TASK FORCE IN THE COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.

THIS IS A SMALL SNAPSHOT OF ALL OF THE HARD WORK OUR STUDENTS HAVE BEEN UP TO.

NONE OF THE WORK WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES.

ONE IS RAY PALM MA HERE WITH US TODAY.

HE WAS ELECTED AS THE 50TH ASC PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF GOVERNORS UNANIMOUSLY.

HE MADE SURE STUDENTS ACROSS THE UNC SYSTEM HAVE BEEN THE EARS OF OUR LEGISLATOR DURING THE YEAR.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE OUT WITH ANOTHER THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR BRINGING ME IN WITH OPEN ARMS.

NONE OF WHAT I HAVE SAID WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT SUPPORT OF OUR SYSTEM.

BEING IN THE ROLE HAS MADE ME A BETTER LEADER AND ADVOCATE.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MY ROLE WITH NIKE AS A PRODUCT MANAGER.

I HAVE A FEELING I'LL BE HOLDING THIS ROLE AS AVU PRESIDENT CLOSE TO MY HEART FOR A LONG TIME.

THANK YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR, GREEN.

I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR THE BOARD SAYING YOU HAVE BEEN AN OUTSTANDING STUDENT REPRESENTED ON THE BOARD.

YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADVOCATE FOR STUDENTS ACROSS THE SYSTEM.

YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU COULD TO IMPROVE US AND HELP US UNDERSTAND.

I COUNT YOU AS A DEAR FRIEND.

I'M GLAD YOU ARE HERE WITH US.

I SEE YOUR DAD IS ON THE SCREEN... >> ... APPROVE NC A&T's REQUEST FOR THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY BY DEED OF THREE PROPERTIES INTO DEMOLISHING EXISTING STRUCTURES FOR CAMPUS EXPANSION AND CONSTRUCTION OF STUDENT HOUSING.

THERE ARE SEVERAL FINANCING ITEMS TO USE AGREEMENTS IN UNC SCHOOL OF ARTS AND THE SPECIAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY.

ALL WERE APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE.

WITH THIS APPROVAL, INSTITUTIONS WILL BE ABLE TO REFINANCE EXISTING DEBT AT LOWER RATES RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT VALUE SAVINGS.

THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE NORTH CAROLINA GREENSBORO REQUESTS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR THE ARTS PLACE AT GATE PROJECT.

ESTIMATED AT COSTS OF $10.3 MILLION, UNC GREENSBORO SUBMITTED THE REQUEST DUE TO UNANTICIPATED OPPORTUNITY TO FINANCE WITH BOND SAVINGS, REALIZING FROM FUNDING DEBT.

IN TOTAL THE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED 16 ITEMS, 11 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED A FEW MINUTES AGO.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> GOVERNOR HOLMES, THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU ARE DOING.

I MIGHT ADD YOU ASKED IF ARE THE JOB.

WE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT MISS HAYGOOD PACKING THE SCHEDULE.

I WOULD LIKE CHAIR HOLMES AND CHAIR POWERS TO DISCUSS THE GOVERNANCE ISSUES THAT SURROUND MILLENNIAL CAMPUSES AND COME BACK TO ME WITH RECOMMENDATION TO PROCEED.

I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING TO INVESTIGATE.

I THINK THAT IS SOMETHNG THAT HAS COME TO LIGHT RECENTLY.

I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR SLOAN FOR THE REPORTING ON PLANNING AND POLICY.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

AT OUR MEETING YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE HEARD UPDATES ON ACADEMIC AFFAIRS ACROSS THE UNC INSTITUTIONS.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE NORTH CAROLINA HEALTH EDUCATION CENTERS PRESENTED PANDEMIC HEALTH WORKFORCE STUDY INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS OF HOW TO PREPARE THE WORKFORCE FOR OUR FEATURE HEALTH CRISIS.

THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE OUTLINE UNDER SECTION 700.1.3 OF THE UN TH-RBGS POLICY MANUAL FOR THOSE THAT EXCEEDED THE CAP OF FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT 2018-2019.

NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY, THEY ISSUED A WARNING FOR EXCEEDING THE GAP IN THE FALL OF 2020.

THE ITEM WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD TP FOR A VOTE.

I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE ITEM.

>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU HAVE HEARD GOVERNOR SLOAN'S MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> SECOND.

>> WE DON'T NEED A SECOND FOR COMMITTEE.

SORRY, MEREDITH.

I'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU HAVE HEARD THE MOTION.

IS THERE DISCUSSION ON THIS?

GOVERN HOLMES?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS A PENALTY WAIVER REQUEST FOR ONE CAMPUS AND THE LAST TIME THE BOARD CONSIDERED THAT WAS ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, MARCH 2016 WHEN UNC CHAPEL HILL WAS ASSESSED A $1 MILLION PENALTY BY THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS FOR THE NONRESIDENT CAP.

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE DO THE EXACT SAME THING THAT WE DID WITH CHAPEL HILL FIVE YEARS AGO WHICH IS TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS, THE PENALTY TO THE UNC NEED BASED GRANT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM.

THE CONCERN FROM THE BOARD FIVE YEARS AGO WAS IN THE DECISION OF THE BOARD IF YOU DON'T ENFORCE THE POLICY, YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A POLICY.

THE BOARD DID ASSESS THE PENALTY AND THEY DID IT WITH THE INTENT TO SIMPLY ENFORCE OUR NONRESIDENT ENROLLMENT CAP.

I THINK WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING IN THIS SITUATION.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR LONG.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION?

>> IF IT REQUIRES AN AMENDMENT TO ALLOCATE THE FUNDS TO THE UNC NEED-BASED GRANT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM, THEN I'LL OFFER IT AS AN AMENDMENT.

>> I THINK THAT THE MOTION GOVERNOR SLOAN MADE WAS THAT WE WAIVE THIS.

>> I THINK IT MIGHT BE MORE EFFICIENT TO DO AN UP/DOWN VOTE ON THAT.

>> VERY WELL.

>> IF WE DEFEAT THE MOTION, WHICH I'M GOING TO OPPOSE THE MOTION.

IF WE DEFEAT THE MOTION, WE CAN ADDRESS HOW THE PENALTY FUNDS ARE USED.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR LONG.

I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THAT.

GOVERNOR HOLMES?

>> KN FIVE YEARS AGO WE HAD A DEBATE ABOUT WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING RULES IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW THEM.

WE VOTED AND I ARGUED IN SUPPORT TO UPHOLDING THE RULES.

I'M GOING TO DO SO AGAIN TODAY.

WE HAVE RULES SO PEOPLE FOLLOW THEY WILL.

THEM.

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES, THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING RULES.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE A HYPOCRITE AND VOTE ANOTHER WAY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES WE ESTABLISH.

FOR THAT REASON, I'LL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS MOTION.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR HOLMES.

GOVERNOR KOTIS WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AND THE CHAIR WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR RAMSEY.

I SPOKE ON THIS FIVE YEARS AGO AS WELL.

IT'S DESCRIBED AS A PENALTY, BUT IT'S REFUNDING TUITION DOLLARS RECEIVED.

THAT'S THE PENALTY OCCURRING OUT THERE.

IT'S NOT THAT THEY DIDN'T GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.

THEY ARE NOT GETTING TO KEEP THE EXTRA MONEY.

FOR THE REASON I WOULD OPPOSE IT THEN, I OPPOSE IT TODAY.

TO GOVERNOR LONG'S POINT, IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE RULES, WE NEED TO STICK BY THEM.

IF WE NEED TO CHANGE POLICY, WE NEED TO CHANGE POLICY.

FOR THAT REASON, I'LL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR.

THE PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FLOOR.

>> I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THE ARGUMENT THAT RULES ARE RULES.

I WOULD NOTE THIS HISTORICALLY HAS BEEN APPLIED INCONSISTENTLY, AND I'M TALKING OVER DECADES, NOT NECESSARILY BY THIS BOARD BECAUSE SOMETIMES, A CHANCELLOR OR INSTITUTION MADE A COMPELLING ARGUMENT FOR WAIVING THIS, AND I WOULD NOTE, COMMITTEE CHAIR SLOAN MADE A POINT YESTERDAY ABOUT THERE BEING A BIT OF CONFUSION AS TO WHETHER NC CENTRAL WAS IN THE SECOND YEAR OF A POTENTIAL PENALTY.

WE HAVE JUST VOTED TO CHANGE THE POLICY TO INCREASE THE OUT OF STATE CAP TO 25%.

I THANK YOU FOR THIS.

THIS BOARD HAS DONE REALLY GOOD WORK SUPPORTING HBCUS, ALBEIT NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED, BUT OUR CHANCELLORS RECOGNIZE IT AND APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE BOARD.

I HAVE HAD A DIRECT CONVERSATION WITH THE CHANCELLOR.

HE CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS THAT WITH THIS CHANGE IN THE POLICY, IF IT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD, AND AGAIN, THANK YOU, THAT THERE WOULD BE NO FLEXIBILITY MOVING FORWARD, THAT IT WAS CLEAR AND WOULD BE APPLIED CONSISTENTLY.

AS COMMITTEE CHAIR SLOAN SPOKE YESTERDAY, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE LIKED TO REPEAT SOME OF THAT, THERE WAS LACK OF CLARITY ABOUT IT.

I THINK GOING FORWARD, THERE WILL BE NO LACK OF CLARITY.

RULES ARE RULES AND SHOULD BE ENFORCED AS SUCH.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS AS WELL.

I WOULD RECOGNIZE CHAIR SLOAN IF HE WOULD REICH TO CONTINUE COMMENTS ON THIS.

I SUPPORT WAIVING THIS.

IF WE HAD, HAD THE POLICY IN PLACE WE JUST VOTED ON, NC CENTRAL WOULD NOT BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE.

I THINK IT'S ALMOST CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT WE VOTED ON TO PENALIZE THEM.

I WILL SAY FOR THE -- FOR HPCUS, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL, I WILL PERSONALLY NOT HAVE TOLERANCE FOR THIS.

WE HAVE SET THE POLICIES.

WE HAVE TRIED TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT IT.

SHOULD ANY OF OUR CAMPUSES FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO MUSTER VOTES IN THE ROOM TO PENALIZE THEM APPROPRIATELY, BUT I'LL SUPPORT IT.

GOVERNOR SLOAN, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS?

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

I CANNOT DISAGREE WITH GOVERNOR KOTIS.

I CAN'T DISAGREE WITH GOVERNOR LONG.

I CAN'T DISAGREE WITH GOVERNOR HOLMES, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE TECHNICALLY RIGHT AND MORALLY WRONG.

IN THIS CASE, IT WAS THE COMMITTEE'S FEEL THAG THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS IN THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE WERE COMPLICIT IN NOT ENFORCING THIS POLICY.

THIS BOARD HAS TURNED OVER DRAMATICALLY IN THE LAST SIX YEARS -- FIVE YEARS.

THE BOARD SHRANK FROM 32 TO 24.

HALF OF THE BOARD IS TURNED OVER.

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TURNOVER IN THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE.

I HAD THREE CFOS.

JP, CLINTON CARTER AND AN INTERIM CFO.

WE HAVE HAD, SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD -- FIVE PRESIDENTS.

PRESIDENT ROSS, WE HAD AN INTERIM.

WE HAD SPELLINGS, ROPER AND NOW PETER HANS.

THAT'S A LOT OF TURNOVER.

ON TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE HAD FOUR CHAIRS OF THE COMMITTEE.

WE HAD JOHN, LOU, PERRY SMITH AND NOW RANDY RAMSEY.

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TURNOVER.

AS A RESULT OF THAT TURNOVER -- CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> WE CAN HEAR YOU, GOVERNOR SLOAN.

>> AS A RESULT OF THAT TURNOVER, CERTAIN THINGS FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

IT IS NO ONE PERSON'S FAULT OR ONE INSTITUTION'S FAULT, BUT PART OF OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A BOARD IS TO REVIEW FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT EVERY YEAR, AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE BY EVERY CAMPUS.% ESSENTIALLY, WE QUIT DOING THAT IN 1617 AFTER UNC CHAPEL HILL.

NO ONE'S FAULT, TREMENDOUS TURNOVER.

NOW WE HAVE PICKED UP THE BATON AGAIN AND SAID WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE THE POLICY.

I APPLAUD THAT.

BUT EVERY INSTITUTION THAT EXCEEDS THE FRESHMAN ENROLLMENT CAP DESERVES A ONE YEAR PERIOD TO COMPLY.

IN THIS CASE, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL HAS NOT BEEN WARNED.

UNC CHAPEL HILL IN 16 WAS WARNED.

THEY WERE GIVEN A YEAR.

THEY DIDN'T COMPLY.

THEY WERE FINED.

IN THIS CASE, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL WAS NOT WARNED.

THEY HAVE 12 MONTHS TO GET ENROLLMENT UNDER THE 25% CAP OR THEY'LL BE FINED AND EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE CONSEQUENCES.

SINCE 2016-17, THE BOARD HAS HELPED, HAS BEEN COMPLICIT IN CREATING THIS MESS.

THIS COMPROMISE THAT THE COMMITTEE APPROVED YESTERDAY GIVES THE BOARD AND THE CHANCELLORS AND THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE AN OPPORTUNITY IN A FAIR MANNER TO EVERYBODY TO HIT THE RESET BUTTON, CLEAN UP THE MESS AND SET THE RULES CLEAR ON A GO FORWARD BASIS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> WELL SAID, CHAIR SLOAN.

THANK YOU.

GOVERNOR LONG?

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I APPRECIATE WHAT MR. SLOAN SAID, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT THAT EACH HAS AN ADMISSION'S OFFICE.

THIS IS NOT A VAGUE RULE.

WE KNOW IT.

THE PENALTY ONLY APPLIES IN THE SECOND YEAR WHEN YOU GO OVER.

CHAIRMEN COME AND GO, PRESIDENTS COME AND GO BUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS AT THE UNIVERSITY.

FOR THAT REASON I FELT THAT TURN OVER AT THE BOARD OF GOVERNOR'S LEVEL, SYSTEM LEVEL BUT THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS AT THE CAMPUS.

THEY KNOW WHAT THE RULE IS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR LONG.

GOVERNOR POPE?

>> A QUESTION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER, OVER THE LAST FIVE YEAR PERIOD REFERRED TO, ARE THERE OTHERS THAT BACKED THE WAIVER BECAUSE THE POLICY WASN'T STRICTLY ENFORCED OR MONITORED?

>> I'M SEEING DR. VAN NORRITON TELL ME THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

DOES THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION APPROPRIATELY?

>> YES, AND BRIEF COMMENT, THEN.

GIVEN THE LAST TIME THERE WAS NOT A WAIVER AND MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY MONITORED, I WILL VOTE NO TO THE OPPOSITION TO UPHOLD THE POLICY.

THIS IS A LONG TIME ISSUE GOING BACK TO 1989 WHEN I WAS ON THE HOUSE EDUCATION COMMITTEE MONITORING OUT OF STATE STUDENTS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POPE.

I MAY ADD TO EVERYBODY, AND I'LL GET TO YOU IN A SECOND, GOVERNOR MITCHELL.

KEEP IN MIND OUR LEGISLATURE MADE CHAPEL HILL WHOLE LAST TIME WE DID THIS.

THIS WAS PUT IN THE BUDGET AND THEY WERE MADE WHOLE.

WE COULD SEE A CHANGE FROM THAT IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS.

GOVERNOR MITCHELL?

>> HOW FAR WERE THEY OVER?

>> I THINK THE FINE IS $1.5 MILLION.

>> HOW MANY STUDENTS?

STUDENTS?>> CAN YOU HELP ME WITT ONE?

>> I HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK.

THIS LAST YEAR SLIGHTLY OVER -- >> I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT PLEASE?

>> SLIGHTLY OVER 25% WERE OUT OF STATE STUDENTS THIS YEAR.

I HAVE TO LOOK TO FIND THE NUMBER, BUT I WOULD BE WILLING TO GET IT FOR YOU.

>> ARE THEY AT FULL CAPACITY?

>> WELL, THE CHANCELLOR IS ON THE LINE, BUT NO, SIR, THEY ARE NOT.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO CONSIDER, AND I'M A BELIEVER OF THE SAME THINGS GOVERNOR LONG SAID AND GOVERNOR HOLMES AND GOVERNOR POPE.

WE HAVE RULES FOR A REASON.

HOW MANY NORTH CAROLINIANS WERE DENIED ACCESS BECAUSE THE SEATS WERE FILLED BY OUT OF STATE PEOPLE?

>> THAT'S A QUESTION I ASKED AND A QUESTION ABOUT THE VOTE EARLIER ABOUT INCREASING THE CAP, NO NORTH CAROLINIAN HAS BEEN DENIED ACCESS.

>> THAT'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE FROM CHAPEL HILL.

THERE ARE NORTH CAROLINIANS THAT DID NOT GET THE SEATS.

I DON'T KNOW NORTH CAROLINIANS DENIED IN THIS SITUATION.

KEEP THAT IN MIND TO DETERMINE IF WE GRANT MERCY HERE.

HOW MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE MISSION OF EDUCATING NORTH CAROLINIANS.

>> OUTSTANDING POINT.

I WANT TO CALL ON GOVERNOR HOLLY AND THEN CALL THE QUESTION.

>> FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, THE MOTION BEFORE THE BODY IS TO ADOPT THE REPORT AND WAIVER AS EMBODIED IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

IS THAT CORRECT?

>> THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO GRANT A WAIVE TO NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL FOR BEING OVER 18% CAP.

>> THANK YOU.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY ADD, IT IS AS YOU STATED, BUT THE MOTION IS TO FORMALLY WARN NORTH CAROLINA INSTITUTIONS.

>> I APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION THERE.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, MAY I SAY A QUICK POINT, PLEASE?

IF YOU DON'T MIND?

>> YES, CHANCELLOR.

WE'LL ALLOW THAT.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.

I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK TWO POINTS.

I BELIEVE THAT PRESIDENT HAERPBS HAS MADE ALL OF THE POINTS AS WELL AS CHAIRMAN SLOAN.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSCORE TWO POEUPS.

ONE IS THAT YES, WE ADMIT THAT WE VIOLATED THE POLICY.

POP REALIZATION OF THAT, I IN FACT BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE ASSISTANT PRESIDENT HANS TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED AND TO ASK WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A DISCUSSION SUCH AS THIS SO THIS DOESN'T OCCUR AGAIN.

THERE IS SHRAOERLY A RECOGNITION CLEARLY A RECOGNITIONON OUR PARD TO DO.

I ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.

MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE PUT IN A SYSTEM NOW THAT AUTOMATICALLY WATCHES THE NUMBERS.

I WANT TO ANSWER TWO QUESTIONS QUICKLY.

THIS IS NOT TO MAKE AN EXCUSE BUT TO AFFIRM NCCU IS COMMITTED TO THIS POLICY.

AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.

SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, NOT ONE NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENT WHO IS QUALIFIED TO COME INTO SCCU HAS EVER BEEN DENIED ADMISSION.

THE STUDENTS COMING FROM OUT OF STATE IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE VAVALUES MENTIONED HAVE NOT NEVR TAKEN THE SPACE.

FROM A QUALIFID NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENT WHO MEETS MER AND NCR.

I WANT TO STRESS THAT WE HAVE BEEN CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE EVEN WITHIN THE 25% THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED, WE DENY USING RESOURCES FROM OUR INSTITUTION TO SUPPORT OUT OF STATE STUDENTS.

IN FACT, THE NARRATIVE WE PROVIDED TO SUPPORT THE REQUEST FOR 25%, THE YEAR NCCU, LAST YEAR THAT WE EXITED THE 18% CAP, THAT SAME YEAR, WE OFFERED MORE SCHOLARSHIPS TO INSTATE RESIDENT STUDENTS WHO APPLIED TO NCCU.

THERE HAS BEEN AN ATTEMPT ON OUR PART TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SUPPORT NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS.

WE KNOW THAT THIS IS THE MISSION AND THE FOCUS OF THE STATE.

I BELIEVE THAT 25% IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND FOR INSTITUTIONS AS MENTIONED BY PRESIDENT HANS.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE STUDENTS FROM NORTH CAROLINA, COMING FROM A COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR FROM A DIFFERENT SCHOOL WHO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE, WE HAVE NEVER MADE A PROJECTION.

I THINK GOVERNOR MITCHELL ASKED IF IN FACT WE ARE TO CAPACITY.

WE ARE NOT TO CAPACITY.

NEVERTHELESS, WE'LL CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE EVEN WITHIN THE 25% THAT YOU ARE GIVING US NOW, THAT ALL STUDENTS WHO WISH TO COME TO OUR INSTITUTION AS IN-STATE RESIDENT STUDENTS WILL FULLY, FULLY BE CONSIDERED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

>> THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR.

I WANT TO STRESS AGAIN, I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS, BUT I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT GOING FORWARD.

CENTER, YOU ARE BEING OFFICIALLY WARNED.

SHOULD IT PASS, WE HAVE TO ENSURE NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE EDUCATED IN OUR SCHOOLS, NOT TURNED AWAY.

I THINK THIS BOARD IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS ABOUT THAT.

GOVERNOR BYERS, I SAID I WAS GOING TO CALL THE QUESTION BUT YOU ASKED FOR THE FLOOR.

I'LL LET YOU MAKE A COMMENT.

I CAN'T SAY NO TO YOU, SIR.

>> THERE IS A DISCUSSION FIVE YEARS AGO, BUT DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY UNC WAS MADE WHOLE BY THE LEGISLATURE?

>> AS I RECALL, THEY WERE FINED A MILLION DOLLARS AND THEY WERE GIVEN HALF A MILLION BACK.

GOVERNOR LONG COLLECTED US ON THAT YESTERDAY.

YES, SIR, I BELIEVE HALF.

>> WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT WOULD BE THE CASE WITH NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL.

THERE WOULD BE A TRUE LOSS TO CENTRAL, AND I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT -- AND THIS IS A TOUGH VOTE.

EVERYBODY'S MADE GREAT ARGUMENT.

POLICY IS POLICY, BUT IN THE SAME BREATH, I WOULD RATHER SOMEONE FROM OUT OF STATE BE IN THE SEATS THAN THEY BE EMPTY.

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY NO ONE FROM NORTH CAROLINA, QUALIFIED DENIED.

I BELIEVE I HEARD MY CHANCELLOR SAY THAT.

I WANTED TO CLARIFY THOSE POINTS.

THAT WILL CERTAINLY DETERMINE HOW I VOTE.

LET'S GOING FORWARD, AS THE PRESIDENT SAID, WE DON'T GET IN THE SITUATION AGAIN.

>> CAN SOMEONE ELSE CALL THE QUESTION?

APPARENTLY, IT DOESN'T WORK WHEN I DO IT.

GOVERNOR HOLMES AND THEN GOVERNOR HUTCHENS.

>> WE HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AS FIVE YEARS AGO.

>> GOVERNOR HUTCHENS?

>> DOES NC CENTRAL PARTICIPATE IN THE PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM?

IF IT DOES, DO WE KNOW THE PERCENTAGE OF OUT OF STATE STUDENTS ADMITTED?

>> YES, SIR, NC CENTRAL IS NOT PART OF THE PROMISE PROGRAM.

PROMISE IS UNC PEMBROKE AND WESTERN CAROLINA.

UNLESS SOMEONE IS COMPELLED TO CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION, I WILL ASK MISS MCCULLOUGH THE CALL AND RECORD THE VOTE.

[ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> MOTION CARRIES.

>> THANK YOU, MISS MIKULIN.

I HAVE ASKED FOR A POLICY CHANGE SO NO BOARD IN THE FUTURE HAS TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION AGAIN.

>> A NO EXCEPTION RULE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

SORRY, I HAVE PRACTICED LAW TOO LONG.

>> GOVERNOR HOLMES SAYS IT WAS A GOOD TRY.

WE'LL BRING FORTH SOMETHING FOR DISCUSSION.

WE'LL PUT YOU IN CHARGE.

>> I'LL BE THE EXCEPTION COMMITTEE.

>> FAIR ENOUGH.

GOVERNOR SLOAN, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GO FORWARD, >> Will: WE'LL DO OUR BEST HERE.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

WE HAVE ONE ITEM FOR CLOSED SESSION THAT WILL REQUIRE A VOTE BY THE FULL BOARD.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE DR. TIMOTHY IVES TO REPORT.

>> DR. IVES, WELCOME.

O THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY AND GOVERNOR SLOAN.

HOPEFULLY, I WON'T SAY THINGS ON THE SAME LEVEL OF CONTROVERSY.

LIKE GOVERNOR HUTCHENS AT THE INVOCATION AND GOVERNOR GREEN, I HAVE WORDS OF THANKS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE TODAY.

I DO, HOWEVER, WANT TO GO BACK AND ADD ONE WORD TO PRESIDENT HANS PRESENTATION EARLIER, AND HIS GRAPHIC ARTS UP THERE.

AT THE WORD STUDENTS, HE MENTIONED FACULTY AND STAFF WHO ARE DOING VACCINATIONS ACROSS THE STATE.

I CAN ALSO SAY WITH COMPLETE AND TOTAL ASSURANCE, 200 YARDS NORTH OF HERE, WE HAVE A CADRE OF STUDENTS WELL TRAINED FROM ALL OF THE SCHOOLS ON THE CAMPUS.

SAME GOES FOR ALL OF THE OTHER CAMPUSES GIVEN IMMUNIZATIONS TODAY.

WE'LL CHECK WITH THEM IN A WHILE.

I WANT TO APPLAUD THE HARD WORK THEY ARE DOING.

I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY WHO REALLY HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH QUITE A BIT.

PRESIDENT HANS SPOKE TO THE TPFACULTY ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY THT MENTIONED WE HAVE GONE THROUGH FIVE CYCLES OF COVID.

THE ONE WORD I HEARD EVEN YESTERDAY FROM DR. VAN NORTH WAS RESILIENCE.

WE HAVE GONE THROUGH QUITE A BIT.

WE ARE DOING GREAT WORK.

I'LL HIGHLIGHT THAT IN A SECOND.

I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU AND THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE FOR EMPHASIZING HEALTH.

INDEPENDENT OF ANY PANDEMIC, IT IS ONE WE NEED TO HA CAMP UP.

I HOPE THAT WE'LL ADDRESS ONE OF THOSE ALONG THE WAY.

I DID WANT TO GIVE THE WORD OF THANKS TO THE ACADEMIC AFFAIRS GROUP, AND YOUR TEAM.

I STARTED LISTING ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR SECTION HAVE HELPED US.

DR. ENGLISH, AND OTHERS.

I CAN GO ON AND ON.

IN A WORLD DAY-TO-DAY WE WERE CHANGING COURSE REPEATEEDLY, IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE A TEAM DO GREAT WORK ON THE CAMPUSES.

THANK YU, MA'AM.

THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN BUSY OURSELVES.

WE WERE INVOLVED WITH THE RACIAL EQUITY TASK FORCE FROM THE OUTSET.

THE WORK STILL NEEDS TO CONTINUE AND WILL CONTINUE.

DARRELL BASS IS WORKING WITH THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY MEETING SOME OF OUR MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE AND REALLY AMPING UP THE ACTIVITIES WITH IT.

THANK YOU TO YOU, VICE PRESIDENT BASS.

THE DESIGNING EFFECTIVE ONLINE COURSE INITIATIVE.

I ASKED TO TELL ME THE IMPACT HAD.

THERE ARE SEVEN SESSIONS SINCE LAST JULY, 2600 FACULTY AND STAFF HAVE TAKEN IT.

ACCOUNTING FOR ALMOST 1,000,000 STUDENT CREDIT HOURS.

THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND.

ONE MILLION.

SO, YES, FACULTY HAS BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THAT.

WERE IT NOT GOING BACK TO THE WAY WE WERE, MANY CASES, THANKFULLY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE HEARING ABOUT THINGS, AND WE REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU AS A BOARD OF GOVERNORS AND THE ASSOCIATED COMMITTEES TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER INITIATIVES.

YESTERDAY, WE HEARD FROM DR. SOL FROM NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY, ABOUT THE ADAPTIVE LEARNING.

FACULTY HAS HEARD ABOUT THAT BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN IT.

WE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES ON EDUCATION.

IT'S COMING AND WE LIKE TO SUPPORT FOR THAT AS WE PUSH FORWARD.

TRUE INNOVATION.

UNCCNS, IN MY WORLD, CNS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

HERE IT IS THE COURSE NUMBER SYSTEM.

SCORES OF FACULTY ARE WORKING OVER THE SUMMER TO UPDATE THE ENTIRE PROCESS THAT OPPORTUNITY STARTS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND GOES THROUGH TO GRADUATION FROM HIGHER LEARNING.

THESE FOLKS ARE REALLY INVESTED.

I WANT YOU TO REALIZE HOW HARD THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS AS WELL.

THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY REVISED OUR 2005 SHARED GOVERNANCE DOCUMENT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WERE ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OR WERE IN THE SYSTEM OFFICE 2005, I ASSUME IT'S A SMALL NUMBER, BUT WE ARE BEARING THE FRUIT OF IT BETWEEN CAMPUS ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY GOVERNMENTS ON CAMPUS.

THEY ARE COLLABORATING, WORKING CLOSELY TOGETHER.

THAT, I CAN SAY THANK YOU TO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED WITH THAT.

I WANT TO THANK THREE INDIVIDUALS, ONE PROBABLY OUT IN THE HALLWAY.

GOVERNOR POWERS, GOVERNOR HOLLY, AND GOVERNOR FRALEY.

THEY CAME TO THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY MEETINGS AND PRESENTED, MADE PRESENTATIONS.

I WANTED TO LEAVE YOU WITH ONE WORD.

CURIOSITY IS IN THE HEART AND SOULS OF FACULTY AND STAFF.

IT'S IN EVERY STUDENT THAT COMES TO CAMPUS.

ALMOST $1.7 BILLION WAS BROUGHT IN ACROSS THE SYSTEM, FISCAL YEAR 2019 FOR RESEARCH PROGRAMS.

YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE WE IS NOT JUST THE FACULTY.

THERE IS STAFF.

WE HAVE CURIOUS STUDENTS THAT WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH US.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE AFTER A CLASS AND SOMEONE SAYS TO YOU, THAT'S WHY I CAME TO THIS CAMPUS.

THAT'S THE KIND OF THING I'M INTERESTED IN.

CAN I GET INVOLVED WITH YOUR RESEARCH?

THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY.

EVERY SINGLE TIME, WE OPEN DOORS FOR THAT.

THE CURIOUS MINDS THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.

IT'S NOT JUST CERTAIN AREAS.

LOOK AT THAT REPORT, YOU SEE IT WAS IN THE ARTS, HUMANITIES, SCIENCES, BASIC SCIENCES, APPLIED SCIENCES IN LAW, IN GOVERNMENT, IN BUSINESS.

THERE IS A LOT OF WORK BEING DONE, A LOT OF FEDERAL FUNDING, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND THE RESEARCH PROGRAM I HOPE YOU WILL KEEP UP AND RUNNING.

WE FIND THERE IS ALL TYPES OF STUDENTS.

IT'S NOT JUST GRADUATE STUDENTS BUT PROFESSIONAL STUDENT, UNDERGRADUATE, HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

WE HEARD ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY AT THE PLANNING MEETING.

I HEARD ABOUT IT WITH THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY MEETING WITH NEW FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS ON THE RISE.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COMING TO CAMPUS.

LOOKING AT NEW IDEAS TO CHANGE THE WORLD TO SOLVE THE UNSOLVED PROBLEMS.

IT GOES FULL CIRCLE.

I HOPE THAT YOU WILL REALIZE THAT RESEARCH IS PART OF WHAT WE THEN TEACH, WHAT WE HAVE PEOPLE GETTING INVOLVED WITH.

PLEASE KEEP THE STORY GOING.

I MENTIONED ONE PERSON I WOULD WANT TO MENTION OUT LOUD TO HER IS JANE ST.NCE THE UNC PROGRAM, RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE GONE ONLINE TO LOOK AT IT.

NORMA, YOU DON'T COUNT.

LOOK ONLINE TO ESSENTIAL UNC.

THE ESSENTIAL PART, THEY ARE TOUTING THE FACULTY AND STAFF MAKING AN IMPACT RIGHT NOW WITH THE PANDEMIC.

THANK YOU.

I KNOW I TRIED TO TOUT ON SCREEN WHEN I CAME UP HERE.

YOU DID IT IN A SUPERIOR WAY.

WE'LL KEEP NAMES COMING TO YOU.

THERE ARE A LOT OF GREAT NAMES OUT THERE.

TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY FROM NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY.

HE'S WORKING WITH THE VIRAL TEAM TO INACTIVATE THE COVID-19 VACCINE BUT IS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT TPABG SI GO GOVERNANCE AND TEACHING.

SIMILAR TO WHAT GOVERNOR POWERS WILL PROBABLY SAY IN ONE MINUTE, WHEN HE BESEECHES YOU TO COME TO GRADUATION, PARTICIPATE, I HOPE YOU WILL SAY THAT, DAVID.

GOOD.

WITH THAT, THERE IS ANOTHER -- I WOULD LIKE TO UP THE ANTE.

COME VISIT.

COME TO THE CAMPUSES AND NOT JUST GO TO A FOCUSED PRESENTATION HERE AND THERE.

LOOK AT THE WIDE BREADTH OF SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH, AND HOW IT PLAYS INTO GREAT TEACHING.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS IS TIED TOGETHER.

SEE ALL OF THE MARVELOUS THINGS WE ARE DOING WITH CURIOSITY AND INNOVATION.

DOORS ARE ALWAYS OPEN.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A SUMMER TRIP TO SEE THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST OF THE FUTURE THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD AND REPLACE US.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

>> THANK YOU, DR. IVES.

I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR WORK.

I'LL BE GLAD TO SPEAK AT THE FACULTY ASSEMBLY, BUT YOU INTIMIDATE ME AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU FOR THAT REASON.

WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO.

I APPRECIATE THE MINUTES FROM THE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER WITH YOU.

THANK YOU AGAIN.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR POWERS FOR THE COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY GOVERNMENT.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

DR. IVES, LET ME APOLOGIZE.

WE HAD A LAST MINUTE THING TO WORK OUT.

I DEPARTMENT MEAN TO NOT PAY ATTENTION.

I DID PARTICIPATE .N I ENJOYED MYSELF, GOT TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH MY FRIEND VICKIE FROM WESTERN CAROLINA.

I SAW SOMEONE LAST NIGHT.

IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH PEOPLE.

I IMAGINE VICKIE AND I DISAGREE ON THINGS.

WE SHARE A HISTORY AND THINK WE ARE FUNNY.

WE HAD A GOOD TIME TALKING TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER FOR THE SEARCH PROCESS.

SHE CALLED ME FOR SOMETHING SHE WAS WORKING ON IN HER ROLE.

WE MADE A DIFFERENCE.

UNLIKE CHAIRMAN I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO BE INTIMIDATED, I'M HAPPY TO COME ANYTIME.

WE HAD A PRODUCTIVE MEETING YESTERDAY.

WE HAVE SEVERAL ACTION ITEMS FOR TODAY.

BEFORE I GET STARTED ON THE VOTING ACTION, DR. IVES IS CORRECT, PLEASE, SIGN UP FOR GRADUATION.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT, WE HAVE SEVERAL OPENINGS STILL.

I WILL BE -- I REGRET IT'S BY TAPE BUT I'LL DO UNC CHAPEL HILL.

IT'S ALL SCHOOL IN THE SYSTEM.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

PLEASE SIGN UP.

YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME.

I PROMISE YOU WILL LEARN SOMETHING.

IT'S GREAT EXPERIENCE.

GREAT TIME TO BE ON CAMPUS.

FIRST, FOR ACTION, NORTH CAROLINA TEACHING FELLOW COMMISSION HAS TWO V V VACANCIE.

THE SELECTION CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES AND TO SELECT THE RECIPIENTS OF THE LOANS UNDER THE PROGRAM.

THE TWO APPOINTMENTS ARE BASED ON FOLLOWING CRITERIA, ONE MUST BE A PRINCIPAL GRADUATED FROM AN APPROVED PROGRAM WITHIN NORTH CAROLINA AND A BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBER.

THE FOLLOWING ARE REMEMBERED: DONNELL CANNON TO FILL THE PRINCIPAL VACANCY.

MA LEE SHA WOODBURY TO FILL THE SCHOOL BOARD VACANCY.

MR. CHAIRMAN, ON BEHALF OF UNIVERSITY GOVERN INSIDE, I MOVE THE BOARD APPOINT THEM TO THE TEACHING COMMISSION.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, YOU HEARD THE MOTION AMEND DISCUSSION OF DEBATE.

HEARING NONE, I ASK MISS MCCULLEN TO CALL THE VOTE.

>> [ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> GOVERNOR POWERS?

>> NEXT, HALF OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS ELECTED BOARD OF TRUSTEE POSITIONS REQUIRE NEW ELECTIONS OR REELECTION.

TODAY WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD BEFORE YOU: APPALACHIAN STATE, EAST CAROLINA, TWO TERMS FOR THE CITY STATE, FAYETTEVILLE STATE, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL, NORTH CAROLINA STATE, UNC CHAPEL HILL, UNC CHARLOTTE, GREENSBORO, UNC PEMBROKE, SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, UNC WILMINGTON, WESTERN CAROLINA AND WINSTON SALEM STATE.

THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS AND BIOS FOR EACH ARE IN YOUR MATERIALS PRINTED BEFORE YOU TODAY.

WITH ONE EXCEPTION, OUR VOTE TODAY WILL BE FOR THE SLATE OF NOMINEES AS A WHOLE GROUP AND NOT ON INDIVIDUAL NOMINEE BASIS OR INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS.

THERE IS ONE CHANGE IN THE PROCESS FROM YOUR SCHEDULE.

WE HAD A REQUEST TO REMOVE EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY NOMINEES FROM THE BLOCK FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DISCUSSION VOTE.

THAT REQUEST HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.

TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS WILL BE INCLUDED WITH A LARGER BLOCK.

WE'LL VOTE SEPARATELY DISCUSSING THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL.

THAT DOES MEAN I WILL BE RECUSING MYSELF FROM THE ENTIRE VOTE AS I HAVE TOLD THE CHAIRMAN EARLIER.

BEFORE I CALL ON MY ABLED VICE CHAIR GOVERNOR HUTCHENS TO TAKE OVER, I'LL GO OVER A FEW MORE GROUND RULES, IF YOU WILL.

BEFORE THAT, IF ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD OBJECTS OR WISHES TO SEE ANY OTHER INSTITUTION SEPARATELY, PLEASE SPEAK NOW.

HEARING NO OBJECTION, WE'LL PROCEED AS OUTLINED.

I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR HARD WORK IN THE PROCESS.

ALL OF US SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS TALKING TO CHANCELLORS AND TRUSTEES AT EVERY ONE OF OUR INSTITUTIONS AS WELL AS BOG MEMBERS, SYSTEM STAFF AND ISTITUTION STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AT LARGE ABOUT POTENTIAL TRUSTEE NOMINEES.

THIS IS MY FOURTH TRUSTEE SELECTION PROCESS AS A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE.

I FEEL TOP TO BOTTOM, IT'S THE MOST OUTSTANDING GROUP I HAVE SEEN.

I HAVE TO THANK MEREDITH FOR ALL OF HER WORK.

I CAN HONESTLY SAY I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH THE PROCESS WITHOUT HER ASSISTANCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

NOW, GOVERNOR HUTCHENS, IF YOU WOULD COME UP, I'LL LET YOU TAKE MY SCRIPT AND -- TAKE OVER THE MEETING.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POWERS.

ON BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNANCE, I MOVE THAT THE BOARD APPOINT THE SLATE OF INDIVIDUALS FOR APPALACHIAN STATE, EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY, FAYETTEVILLE STATE, NORTH CAROLINA AT, NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL, NC STATE, UNC CHARLOTTE, UNC GREENSBORO, UNC PEMBROKE, UNC SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, WILMINGTON, WESTERN CAROLINA AND WINSTON SALEM SEAT AND PARTIAL SEATS.

>> YOU HAVE HEARD THE MOTION.

MEMBERS, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED WE HAVE UNC CHAPEL HILL SEPARATELY BECAUSE THE MEMBERS ASKED FOR THAT TO BE PULLED FROM THE AGENDA .

I MIGHT MENTION TO SCHOOLS NOT HEARING THEIR NAME WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE TRUSTEE PROCESS.

THAT'S WHY YOU ARE NOT INCLUDED HERE.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO SINGLE OUT -- I BELIEVE IT'S APPALACHIAN.

SCIENCE AND MATH ACTUAL IN ELIZABETH CITY STATE.

WE ARE JUST TRYING TO WORK THROUGH A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES TO ENSURE WE HAVE A PROPER SLATE.

WE'LL VOTE THOSE PEOPLE IN, IN MAY.

YOU HAVE HEARD THE MOTION.

IS THERE DEBATE ON THE TRUSTEES AND SCHOOLS TO BE APPOINTED?

HEARING NONE, I'LL ASK MISS MCCULLOUGH TO CALL THE ROLE AND RECORD THE VOTE?

[ROLL CALL VOTE ] >> THE MOTION CARRIES.

MR. HUTCHENS?

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THE BOARD WILL NOW CONSIDER THE SLATE OF NOMINEES FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NOMINEES AT CHAPEL HILL.

THE LIST OF INDIVIDUALS NOMINATED AND BRIEF BIOFOR EACH ARE INCLUDED IN YOUR MATERIALS AND PRINTED FOR YOU TODAY.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE THE NOMINEES BE ACCEPTED.

>> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR HUTCHENS.

GOVERNOR HOPE?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO DIVIDE THE QUESTION SO NOMINATION FOR MALCOLM TURNER COULD BE DISCUSSED AND VOTED ON SEPARATELY FROM THE OTHER THREE NOMINEES.

>> OUR ATTORNEY IS BEHIND THIS.

MY GUESS IS THAT GOVERNOR HUTCHENS WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO DO THAT.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> IS THAT CORRECT, MR. TRIP?

>> YES.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN HUTCHENS?

>> I ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

>> WE ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

WE'LL VOTE THE OTHER THREE TRUSTEES AND HOLD OUT MR. TURNER SEPARATELY.

ANY DEBATE ON THAT ITEM?

HEARING NONE, I'LL ASK MISS MCCULLEN TO CALL THE REMOTE?

[ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> MOTION CARRIES.

>> THANK YOU, MISS MCCULLEN.

THE SECOND PART OF THE MOTION IS TO VOTE ON MR. TURNER AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

I BELIEVE MR. POPE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM.

I'LL GIVE HIM THE FLOOR.

>> THANK YOU.

I'LL START OFF SAYING THE OBVIOUS, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, MALCOLM TURNER HAS EXCELLENT QUALIFICATIONS AND NONE OF MY COMMENTS ARE MEANT TO REFLECT ON HIS ETHICS.

MY CONCERN IS THAT HE IS NOT EMPLOYED AS AN OFFICER IN OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS DRAFT KINGS PROMOTING ONLINE GAMBLING INCLUDING SPORTS BETTING ON COLLEGE SPORTS.

HE'S THE HEAD OF STRATEGY AND DEVELOPING FOR THE ONLINE GAMBLING.

AS I NOTED YESTERDAY, WE HAD A DISCUSSION YESTERDAY, THE STATE ETHICS COMMISSION NOTED THAT MRL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND HAS WORKED WITH DRAFT KINGS.

IT IS ALSO PROPERLY NOTED THAT 50% OF HAVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS NOT THAT UNUSUAL.

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL ESPECIALLY GIVEN ATTORNEYS, CPAS AND OTHERS WITH CLIENTS ON A GIVEN OCCASION HAVE A MATTER TO CREATE A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

FOR MR. KING, AGAIN, THIS IS PRIMARY BUSINESS TO DEVELOP SPORTS BETTING IN COLLEGE SPORTS, INCLUDING NORTH CAROLINA.

IT WAS NOTED IN YESTERDAY'S DISCUSSION NORTH CAROLINA HAS SPORTS BETTING.

THAT'S CORRECT.

THERE WAS A NEWS ARTICLE THAT THE FIRST LEGAL SPORTS BET WAS MADE AT THE HARRIS CASINO IN CHEROKEE ON MARCH 18TH.

THE ARTICLE SAYS THE FIRST LEGAL BET MADE IN THE STATE WAS BY A GUEST WHO WAGERED FOR NORTH CAROLINA TO BEAT WISCONSIN IN THE TOURNAMENT.

THE TARHEELS LOST BY 23 POINTS THE FOLLOWING EVENING.

WE CAN CHUCKLE THAT ESPECIALLY NORTH CAROLINA FANS, BUT IT IS SYMBOLIC THAT THE FIRST SPORTS BET WAS BASED ON THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL.

IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO ADVISE DRAFT KINGS HOW TO DEVELOP LAWFUL AND LEGAL BUSINESS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, BUT IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY ON THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS ON APPOINTMENT OF THE TRUSTEES.

NOT JUST CHAPEL HILL BUT ALL SPORTS PROGRAMS TO KEEP AN ARM'S LENGTH DISTANCE BETWEEN ONLINE GAMBLING ON COLLEGE SPORTS AND OUR COLLEGE SPORTS.

RESPECTFULLY, THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO OPPOSE THIS APPOINTMENT.

I ASK IT BE HELD OVER FOR MORE DISCUSSION.

BUT STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN VOTE, I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER MAINTAINING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SPORTS, PUBLIC UNIVERSITY COLLEGE SPORT AND ONLINE GAMBLING.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR POPE.

I HAVE TWO MEMBERS THAT ASKED TO SPEAK.

I AGREE WITH YOU, GOVERNOR POPE.

THE CREDENTIALS OF MR. TURNER ARE INCREDIBLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT IN THIS COMMITTEE HE HAS A CHARACTER SCHOLARSHIP FOR LEADERSHIP.

I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO HIS CHARACTER AND KIND OF PERSON HE IS.

I SPOKE TO MR. TURNER THIS MORNING.

I AM IMPRESSED BY HIM.

I'LL SUPPORT HIM AS A TRUSTEE.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR REASONING, GOVERNOR POPE.

WHILE WE DISAGREE, I SEE YOUR POINT.

TO THE POINTS OF STATEMENTS AND ECONOMIC INTEREST, IN THE 12 I HAVE FILED, I HAVE THE SAME SENTENCE MR. TURNER HAS IN THE HIS.

IF THAT MAKES US UNFIT, MY GUESS IS EVERYONE AROUND THE TABLE IS UNFIT.

THAT SAID, I RECOGNIZE GOVERNOR HOLMES FOR COMMENTS.

AS I READ THE REQUIREMENTS, I FIND IT HARD TO TAKE SOMEONE EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE ROLE, UNIQUELY QUALIFIED.

I SPENT TIME READING THROUGH HIS BACKGROUND.

AND MOVE TO DISQUALIFY HIM TO RECUSE YOURSELF FROM A CONFLICT.

I FELT AROUND ATHLETICS, BEING IN THE ROLE OF AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, HE MAY BRING A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE TO THE AREA.

NOT ONLY DO I THINK WE SHOULD SUPPORT HIM, I THINK WE SHOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS INDIVIDUAL EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE ROLE.

THAT #*PG YOU.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR HOLMES.

I CALL ON GOVERNOR KOTIS.

IF WE ARE GOING TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN PROFESSIONS, WE NEED TO PUT THAT INTO POLICY GOING FORWARD.

GAMBLING IS LEGAL IN NORTH CAROLINA.

YOU HAVE SPORTS BETTING LIKELY TO BE APPROVED.

I THINK MR. TURNER WOULD ADD A VALUABLE PERSPECTIVE.

I DON'T SEE IT AS A DETRACTION.

THERE IS ONE MEMBER THAT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF DECISION MAKING AT A SCHOOL.

IF YOU LOOK AT HIS CREDENTIALS, ATTENDING HARVARD, HE IS DEFINITELY QUALIFIED TO SERVE ON THE BOARD.

I'LL BE SUPPORTING IT.

>> THANK YOU, GOV GOVERN KOTIS.

>> LOU, ARE YOU THERE?

>> RAP RANDY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> WE CAN NOW.

GO AHEAD.

>> I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTE.

THEY HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB THIS YEAR DEALING WITH ALL OF THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.

I APPRECIATE THE WAY THEY HAVE GONE ABOUT IT.

I WANT TO SAY, IN LOOKING AT MALCOLM TURNER'S RESUME, THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL INDIVIDUAL.

THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

I DO AGREE WITH GOVERNOR POPE.

PERCEPTIONS MEAN A LOT.

IN THIS INSTANCE, GIVEN UNC CHAPEL HILL'S POSITION AS AN ICON OF COLLEGIATE SPORTS, I THINK THE PERCEPTION OF THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD.

IF YOU ADD TO IT THE GOVERNANCE CHAIR, AND I HAVE KNOWN DAVID FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THE PERCEPTION WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR UNC CHAPEL HILL AND THE BOARD.

I SUPPORT GOVERNOR POPE IN HIS OBJECTIONS HERE.

THE ONE OTHER QUICK THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET OLDER, LIKE I AM, SOMEONE TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS A PARTICIPANT.

NOW I'M OLDER.

I'M AN OBSERVER.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS AN OBSERVATION.

THIS BOARD HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF WITH THE PANDEMIC.

TO ME, IT'S SO UNFORTUNATE THAT SEEMS LIKE EVERY MEETING WE HAVE A POLITICAL ISSUE THAT COMES UP THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE STATE I LIVE IN, THE ONLY THING WE SEE ABOUT WHAT THE BOARD IS DOING RESOLVERESOLVES AROUND CONFRONTL POLITICAL ISSUES AND I THINK THIS WILL BE ANOTHER ONE.

I'M VERY SORRY.

I THINK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN, AND THIS BOARD IS DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB.

I WISH WE COULD STAY AWAY FROM THESE CRAZY ISSUES THAT ARE OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM OF WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING FOR THIS STATE.

AND THE PEOPLE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

I THINK THAT'S UNFORTUNATE AS WELL.

I'LL GET BACK TO MY DRIVING.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR OUR STATE AND UNIVERSITY.

>> I ECHO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT HOW WELL THE BOARD IS DOING.

>> I THINK THE RESUME OF MR. TURNER IS OUTSTANDING.

HIS ACTIONS SHOW CARE AND LOVE FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

HE'S CONTRIBUTED IN MANY WAYS TO DATE.

REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS MORNING, I WOULD HOPE HE WOULD CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LOVE AND CARE FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

THE APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT.

WE ARE IN THE INFANCY OF SPORTS BETTING IN THE STATE, THE STATE HAS NOT VETTED IT THROUGH ITS ENTIRE PROCESS YET.

GAMBLING IS LEGAL IN NORTH CAROLINA, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF CITIZENS.

WE NEED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THAT.

HAVING SAID THAT ABOUT THIS NOMINEE, NOT SPEAKING AGAINST THE NOMINEE, JUST THE APPEARANCE OF ISSUES IN MY OPINION WE SHOULD STEER CLEAR OF.

WHAT CONCERNS ME IS RUNNING A DIFFERENT RABBIT HERE.

EXCUSE ME FOR THAT.

I THINK THE CHANCELLORS, AND I TALKED TO GOVERNOR POWER ABOUT THIS SHOULD HAVE INPUT AND SERIOUS INPUT INTO THE CREATIN OF INFORMATION OF THE TRUSTEES AND BOARDS.

WE ARE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUCCESS AND GOVERNANCE ON THE CAMPUS.

I'M NOT SURE THAT IN THIS CASE AT UNC CHAPEL HILL WE FULFILLED THE OBLIGATION AND PROCESS.

THAT'S ANOTHER RABBIT THAT I'LL PUT ON THE TABLE.

THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION ON THE NOMINEE, BUT MORE ON WHAT I THINK OUR MORALS AND ETHICS AND APPEARANCE SHOULD BE.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS GOVERNOR PARRISH.

GOVERNOR STONE?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON SOMETHING GOVERNOR PARRISH NOTED.

I WAS IMPRESSED IN WATCHING THE GOVERN INSIDE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY AND THE THOUGHTFULNESS AND AMOUNT OF TIME THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL PUT INTO COLLECTING INFORMATION TALKING WITH THE CHANCELLORS AND BOARD CHAIRS AND INDIVIDUALS.

IT WAS A GREAT PROCESS.

I APPLAUD THAT.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE PROCESS EXISTED AT CHAPEL HILL.

THE CHANCELLOR PUT FORWARD FIVE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD.

NOT A SINGLE ONE WAS MOVED FORWARD TO THIS GROUP.

I FIND THAT UNBELIEVABLE ALMOST.

THAT INPUT FROM A CHANCELLOR IS NEEDED, WELL THOUGHT THROUGH.

THEY LOOK THROUGH THEY LOOK THROUGH THE FINANCE AND INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGEETH.

KNOWLEDGE, ETC.

OBVIOUSLY NONE OF THE CANDIDATES PUT FORWARD WERE VALUED ENOUGH TO MOVE TO THIS BOARD.

THAT'S DISAPPOINTING.

I THINK THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES IF ELECTED, HE WILL HAVE TO RECUSE HIMSELF FROM DECISIONS IN ATHLETICS ETC.

HE IS IMMINENTLY QUALIFIED.

I HAVE NEVER MET THE INDIVIDUAL.

AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO VOTE FOR HIM, BUT THE PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, I WILL NOT BE.

IT'S A DIFFICULT DECISION FOR ME.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE QUESTION.

>> GOVERNOR HOLMES, CALLED THE QUESTION.

WITHOUT OBJECTION WE'LL CALL THE QUESTION ON THE PRIMARY ITEM.

IS THERE OBJECTION?

CAN I DO THAT, ANDREW?

>> YOU JUST DID.

>> YES, SIR.

>> ANDREW WILL GIVE ME A PASS ON THAT ONE.

MISS MCCULLEN, WILL YOU CALL THE ROLL?

>> [ROLL-CALL VOTE ] >> THANK YOU.

MOTION CARRIES.

MR. HUTCHENS, ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NOTHING BUT TO ASK MY CHAIR TO COME BACK.

>> IF SOMEONE CAN GRAB GOVERNOR POWERS.

I WANT TO MAKE FUN OF HIM FOR A MINUTE.

I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU, WENDY.

I DO NOT THINK TRUSTEES HAVE BEEN VETTED AS WELL AS THEY WERE DURING THIS PROCESS.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY HOURS GOVERNOR POWERS HAS PUT INTO THIS.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

I'LL TELL YOU EACH TRUSTEE PUT ON THE BOARDS IS VETTED BY THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

I APPRECIATE THE DEBATE.

WE HAVE HAD THIS MORNING.

I ENCOURAGE EACH OF YOU TO JOIN THE GRADUATION.

IT REMINDS ME WHY WE ARE HERE.

GOVERNOR POWERS, ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON, ARE YOU WEARING YOUR RED ROBE?

>> IT'S TAPED, SO I DON'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY.

VERY WELL.

MOVING ALONG.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON GOVERNOR BYERS READY TO ROLL FOR THE REPORT.

>> MY REPORT IS BRIEF.

I WANTED TO SHARE ONE QUICK MOMENT.

THE PRESIDENT WAS SHARING WITH US THE VACCINATION THIS MORNING.

I WANT YOU TO THINK ONE MORE TIME ABOUT THE IMPACT AT WESTERN CAROLINA HAS HAD ON THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA.

THERE ARE 40,000 PEOPLE IN JACKSON COUNTY COUNTING STUDENTS.

13,000 OF THEM WERE RECEIVING THEIR VACCINATION AT WESTERN CAROLINA.

I WAS THERE FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE STEAM PLANT.

THOSE OF YOU LEGISLATORS, AFTER THREE YEARS THE MONEY IS APPROVED, THE NEW STEAM PLANT IS ON THE WAY.

THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING I LOST SLEEP ABOUT.

IT'S HARD TO CALL PARENTS TO TELL THEM YOU ARE SENDING THEIR KIDS HOME BECAUSE THE HEAT IS NOT WORKING.

THANKS TO BOTH SCHOOL AND ALL OF THE OTHERS FOR MAKING AN IMPACT ON THE PANDEMIC.

I'LL THEN REPORT.

MR. CHAIRMAN, FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MET YESTERDAY TO REVIEW THE ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE SINCE FEBRUARY, RECEIVING AN UPDATE ON FEDERAL RELATIONS AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT UPDATED THE COMMITTEE FOR ACTIVITIES AND MEETING AT THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HE PROVIDED A STATUS UPDATE FOR ITEMS IN THE 2020 BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.

WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM ELIZABETH MOORE, UPDATED COMMITTEE ON RECENT LEGISLATION IN WASHINGTON IMPACTING THE UNC SYSTEM.

INCLUDING THE AMERICAN JOBS PLAN, THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN AS WELL AS THE PRESIDENT'S FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET REQUEST SENT TO CONGRESS LAST WEEK.

LASTLY, KATHY SIDENER, DIRECTOR OF DEFENSE PARTNERSHIPS SHARED AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRAM CREATED TO SUPPORT FAMILIES OF MILITARY SERVICE MEM MEMBERS KILLED OR INJURED IN SERVICE.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT CONCLUDES MY BRIEF REMARKS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR BYERS.

ANY REMARKS?

HEARING NONE, I CALL ON GOVERNOR HOULTON.

>> WE MET LATE YESTERDAY.

OUR AGENDA INCLUDED DISCUSSIONS AROUND AUDIT ISSUES AND CYBER SECURITY.

GIVEN THE RECENT RETIREMENT OF UNC SYSTEM CHIEF AUDIT OFFICER, JONATHAN PRUITT SHARED HOW WE'LL MOVE FORWARD IN A WAY TO CLARIFY AND ALIGN ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, SPECIFICALLY THE DUTIES OF THE CHIEF AUDIT OFFICER WILL ROLL INTO THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF COMPLIANCE.

THIS SHIFT WILL RESULT IN A CLEAR, CONSISTENT AND EFFICIENT ALIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE SYSTEM.

LYNN WILL CONTINUE AS ASSISTANT TO THE CAR MAC AS PREVIOUSLY DONE.

THIS WILL INCLUDE THE WORK FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND MATH AND STATE EDUCATION ASSISTANCE AUTHORITY.

THE TEAM PLANS TO RECRUIT AN INTERNAL AUDIT MANAGER AND ONE STAFF AUDITOR TO RESPOND TO NEEDS AND RISKS.

THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO APPROVE THE ORGANIZATION PLAN.

THE NEXT TOPIC GREW OUT OF OUR MEETING IN FEBRUARY.

AT THAT MEETING, THE STATE AUDITOR JOINED US TO DISCUSS RESULTS OF AN IT AUDIT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY AND FOCUSED ON CYBER SECURITY PROCESSES.

IN THE COURSE OF THE DISCUSSION, THE STATE AUDITOR CHALLENGED US TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOCUS, INITIATIVE AND RESOURCES ON CYBER SECURITY.

I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY OUR CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER REVEALED THE HISTORY OF CYBER SECURITY EFFORTS TO PRESENT SEVEN RECOMMENDATIONS TO CONTINUE TO ENHANCE CYBER SECURITY EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.

THESE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING.

FIRST, THIRD PARTY CYBER SECURITY MEASURES AT EACH INSTITUTION TO CREATE A UNIFORM BASELINE FOR I.T.

CONTROLS FOR FUTURE MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

NEXT, ALL INSTITUTIONS WILL LEVERAGE THEIR RISK MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS LIKE ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT TO SUPPORT THOSE WITH I.T.

RISK MANAGEMENT.

THIS SERVES SIMILAR TO THE SYSTEM OFFICE RISK REVIEW BOARD ALLOWING THE INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE RISK BASED DECISIONS SET APPROPRIATE TARGETS BASED ON RISK TOLERANCE AND MONITOR.

SPECIFICALLY TARGETED CHIEF SECURITY RIGHT NOW.

THOSE ROLES ARE HARD TO FILL.

THEY ARE LOOKING, BUT IT'S HARD TO FIND THEM.

NEXT, THE SCHOOLS WILL ESTABLISH AN IDENTIFIABLE BUDGET SPECIFIC TO CYBER SECURITY.

NEXT, OUR TECHNICAL PARTNER AND ROAD MAP FOR SECURITY SERVICES.

THIS PROVIDES A CONSISTENT GUIDE TO SERVE AS A MAP FOR OUR INSTITUTIONS AS THEY CONTINUE.

THE EXPERIENCE OF THOSE ON THE COMMITTEE, IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE ESTABLISHING THE PROPER CULTURE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL OF THE LIVES FOR COMPLIANCE AND PROTECTION OF PRIVACY INFORMATION.

FINALLY, WE'LL BE WORKING ON WAYS TO SHARE APPROPRIATE AUDITING INFORMATION AT THE COUNCIL AND SECURITY COUNCIL.

THAT WILL INCLUDE A SHARING THAT ALLOWS US TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES.

PROBLEMS AT ONE INSTITUTION CAN BE IDENTIFIED.

ONCE WE IDENTIFY THEM WE CAN TRANSLATE TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS AND TEST OURSELVES -- NIP THEM IN THE BUD, IF YOU WILL.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE COMING TO THE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY WERE APPROVED BY THE CHIEF COUNCIL AND REVIEW BOARD.

OUR EFFORTS WILL MOVE US FORWARD.

THESE POLICIES WERE COMPLETED BY THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS IN 2018.

THEY ARE IMPORTANT POLICIES SERVING AS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE OVERALL EFFORTS IN THE AREA.

OVER ALL, THE LONG-TERM EXERCISE WITH COMPLIANCE THROUGHOUT THE INSTITUTIONS WITH THE INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY AND RAPIDLY IMPROVE MATURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL.

MOST SIGNIFICANT, THE RESULTS OF BASELINE.

FINALLY, LYNN SANDERS PROVIDED A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE 2010 FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND COMPLIANCE REPORTS ISSUED BY THE STATE AUDITOR SINCE THE LAST MEETING IN FEBRUARY.

OF PARTICULAR NOTE, THE FINANCIAL AUDITS FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND MATH AND FOR THE UNC SYSTEM OFFICE WERE PROVIDED AND THERE WERE NO AUDIT FINDINGS.

EIGHT COMPLIANCE REPORTS WERE ISSUED.

THREE INSTITUTIONS HAD FINDINGS WITH FINANCIAL AID REQUIREMENTS.

THEY ARE MANY AND COMPLEX.

MANAGEMENT AT EACH INSTITUTION AGREED WITH THE AUDITOR RECOMMENDATION AND HAS IMPLEMENTED CORRECTIVE ACTION OR IS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING CORRECTIVE ACTION.

THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR HOULTON.

DOES ANYONE HAVE COMMENTS?

SOMETIMES WE FIND IT DRY BUT HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB FOLLOWING UP.

I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS.

>> ONE OF OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS DESCRIBED NEEDING A SETTLEMENT.

>> I'M IMPRESSED.

GOVERNOR COWARD, REPORT ON STRATEGIC << NICHOLAS ROLLI, VICE PRESIDENT, INVESTOR RELATIONS & INITIATIVES, PLEASE,MA'AM.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR RAMSEY.

YESTERDAY, THE COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC INITIATIVES CONTINUED THE DISCUSSION ON ADULT LEARNERS.

WE HEARD FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF LEARNING MARKETPLACE SOLUTIONS AT GUILD EDUCATION, A PLATFORM THAT CONNECTS EMPLOYEES AT FORTUNE 1,000 CORPORATIONS TO HIRE EDUCATION PROGRAMS AT UNIVERSITIES.

TARA, A NORTH CAROLINA NATIVE AND PRODUCT OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND UNC SYSTEM SPOKE ABOUT WHAT UNIVERSITIES NEED TO DO TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITY FOR WORKING ADULTS WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE.

WE LEARNED THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 120,000,000 WORKING ADULTS IN AMERICA.

60,000,000 OF WHOM HAVE EDUCATION BENEFITS FOR THEIR EMPLOYERS.

TO REACH THE POTENTIAL STUDENTS, THE UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED THE BARRIERS THEY FACE, OPTIONS, PROGRAM AND CAREER UNCERTAINTY AND LACK OF TIME.

COMPARED TO THEIR ON DEMAND NATURE OF SERVICES TODAY, NETFLIX AND AMAZON, THE TRADITIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION MODEL TAKES TOO LONG.

IT'S TOO INFLECTION I BELIEVE TO APPEAL TO MOST ADULT LEARNERS.

TO MEET THE POPULATION, WE MUST DEVELOP OPPORTUNITIES AFFORDABLE, STACKABLE AND ORIENTED TO, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I THINK, EMPLOYER NEEDS.

ENVIRONMENTSMUST INVEST RESOURCES IN STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES LIKE SUCCESS COACHING WHICH FOLLOWING OUR CONVERSATION YESTERDAY, TARA SAID THAT WAS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS WHOLE IDEA, WHICH CAN HELP ADULTS TO STAY ON THE PATH TO A DEGREE.

THIS CONCLUDED WITH AN EXAMINATION OF FACILITATING A DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW MARKET.

WHILE THE SYSTEM HAS STRONG BRAND RECOGNITION, AFFORDABILITY AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION IN ITS FAVOR, IT WILL NEED TO ACT QUICKLY TO DEVELOP THE NECESSARY DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND CURRICULUM AND CAPITAL TO COMPETE IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET.

TO DO SO, TARA SUGGESTED A CENTRALIZED SHARED SERVICE THAT CAN SUPPORT UNIVERSITIES IN THE SYSTEM THAT WISH THE DEGREED PROGRAMS, ONLINE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES NECESSARY TO RECRUIT AND GRADUATE ADULT SERVICES.

FIRST, BUILD OUR OWN SERVICE PROVIDER FROM SCRATCH, SECOND, ACQUIRE A UNIVERSITY OR OTHER ORGANIZATION THAT ALREADY SERVES ADULT LEARNERS AND THIRD, PARTNER WITH ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE KEY SERVICES LIKE MARKETING AND DESIGN AND STUDENT SUPPORT.

EACH OF THE PATHS HAS ITS OWN RISK AND REWARD.

I LOOK FORWARD TO ASSESSING EACH OF THEM IN FUTURE COMMITTEES.

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO ATTENDED AND PARTICIPATED IN YESTERDAY'S DISCUSSION AND TARA FOR A THOUGHT-PROVOKING PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> THANK YOU, GOVERNOR COWARD.

I APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT.

THAT WAS A GOOD PRESENTATION YESTERDAY BY THE INDIVIDUAL.

I WAS INSPIRED BY HER AND WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH.

GOVERNOR HOLLY, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON YOU FOR MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES AND BOARD OF GOVERNOR, PRESIDENT HANS AND GUESTS, ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, THE COMMITTEE SERVING INSTITUTIONS MET TO REVIEW THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE AND THE UNC SYSTEM OVER THE PAST MONTHS.

IN ADDITION, WE WERE PLEASED TO WELCOME OUR NEWEST COMMITTEE MEMBER, FORMER STATE SENATOR OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY, JOEL FORD.

THE COMMITTEE RECEIVED AN INFORMATIONAL REPORT ON TWO TOPICS, HMSI ACCESS TO EXCELLENT AWARENESS MARKETING PARTNERSHIP WITH PBS NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT DATA MODERNIZATION THAT WILL ENHANCE FUNDRAISING AND ENGAGEMENT AT THE HMSI AND SIMILAR RESOURCE INSTITUTIONS.

TIMOTHY MINOR, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT PROVIDED UPDATES REGARDING THE HISTORICALLY MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS SINCE THE JANUARY MEETING AND BRIEFLY DETAILED THE COMMITTEE CHARGE OVER THESE PAST MONTHS.

MR.

MINER CALLED ON KELLY MCCULLEN DIRECTOR OF NORTH CAROLINA ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS FOR PPSNC TO SHARE THE WORK HE AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE PRODUCING.

THE MARKETING PROJECT IS A CLAPA COLLABORATION AMONG THE UNC SYSTEM AND SIX HMSIS.

IT WILL INCLUDE A TELEVISED PROGRAM PRODUCED BY PBSNC FEATURING A COLLECTION OF UNIQUE AND IMPACTFUL STORIES OF PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS AT EACH OF THE UNIVERSITIES.

THE PROJECT IS BEING SUPPORTED BY AN INTEGRATED MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION'S PLAN FOR DIGITAL PLATFORMS OF NOTE AND IMPORTANCE.

THIS PROJECT IS BEING TOTALLY UNDER WRITTEN BY OUR SIX HMSI UNIVERSITIES AND WILL SHOWCASE HOW REMARKABLE EACH INSTITUTION IS INDIVIDUALLY AND HOW EXTRAORDINARY THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA'S SYSTEM IS COLLECTIVELY.

MR.

MINER THEN CALLED ON BLAKE, ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT FOR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS AND UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON PHASE TWO OR DATA MODERNIZATION AND SHARED SERVICES PROJECT.

SUZANNE WHILES, PRESIDENT OF GT & A CONSULTING AND SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT PROVIDED A DETAILED PRESENTATION ON THE ADVANCEMENT, DATA, MODERNIZATIONS AND SHARED SERVICES REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

ONCE DESIGNED THE IMPORTANCE REDUCING CALLS FOR FUNDRAISING.

I INVITE MY COLLEAGUES TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW DEVELOPMENT AS YOU WILL FIND IN YOUR BOARD OF FACTS.

LASTLY, VICE RAMSEY, I WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT YOU FOR THE COMMITTEE AND HMSI STAFF UNDER THE LEAD OF TIM MINER AS WELL AS PRESENTERS FOR A JOB WELL DONE RECENTLY.

IF I MAY ALSO TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE, THE DISTINGUISHED GOVERNOR PARRISH SERVED AS VICE CHAIR.

HE HAS DONE SO WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

HIS LEADERSHIP, WE ARE SADDENED TO NOTE HIS DEPARTURE FROM HMSI.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

>> I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT GOVERNOR PARRISH.

>> I THINK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, AND I'M NOT CASTING BLAME ON ANYONE, I DON'T THINK THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS PAID AS MUCH ATTENTION TO THE UNIVERSITIES AS WE SHOULD HAVE.

I HOPE WE ARE DOING A BETTER JOB.

WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO TO ENSURE WE ARE SUPPORTING THE CHANCELLORS.

THANK YOU AGAIN, SIR.

>> I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR MAKING TODAY'S MEETING EASY SO FAR.

I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED TAKING TIME OFF IN MARCH.

I'M NOT SURE WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER MONTH OFF AGAIN IF THIS IS WHAT I GET WHEN I COME BACK.

IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK TOGETHER.

TODAY, WE ARE EXPERIENCING CHANGES TO THE BOARD WHICH ARE BITTERSWEET.

GOVERNOR GREEN WILL STEP DOWN FROM HIS POSITION AS STUDENT BOARD MEMBER.

ISAIAH'S DAD IS A TRUSTEE AT NC ACTUAL.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED BEING YOUR DAD'S BOSS FOR THE LAST YEAR.

AFTER TODAY, I FEAR HE IS YOUR BOSS AGAIN.

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER ISAIAH CONGRATULATIONS AS HE PREPARES TO GRADUATE.

THIS YOUNG MAN HAS BEEN ACTIVE, ENGAGED AND ONBOARD, SO MUCH SO THAT THE OLDER MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A D DOSE OF YOUR ENERGY.

HE'S WORKED AS BRANCH STRATEGIST AS A TECH START UP.

ISAIAH, I WISH YOU THE BEST IN THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR LIFE.

AS YOU KNOW, RECENTLY SUPPORTED BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE RANKS.

HE'S A STATE SENATOR AND PASSIONATE FOR STUDENTS OF ALL ADVOCATES.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING HERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE OUR NEW CLASS OF MEMBERS TO BEGIN SERVICE JULY 1, 2021.

WITH US TODAY WE HAVE FORMER STATE REPRESENTATIVE DON FRALEY KNOWN TO ALL OF US.

AS HE REMINDED ME, HE'S BEEN HERE FOUR YEARS IN A ROW.

HE HAS BEEN A BIG ADVOCATE FOR THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM WITH THE LEGISLATURE.

I KNOW HE WILL BE AN OUTSTANDING MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME SONYA NICKELS WITH MORE ENERGY THAN ANYONE I HAVE EVER SEEN BUT ISAIAH.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HER HELPING CARRY US FORWARD AND LEE ROBERTS JOINING US BY WAY OF ZOOM.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING OUR MEETINGS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE TWO MINTED CHANCELLORS I WISH WERE WITH US.

>> I HEAR A HROLT OF POSITIVE A LOT OF POSITIVEABOUT THE WORK.

CHANCELLOR ALLISON, THAT'S A NICE OFFICE.

YOU HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLING A STRONG STATE.

WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU BRING TO THE JOB.

WE HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT YOU ARE DOING GREAT THINGS IF ARE THE BRONCOS GOING FORWARD.

ON TOPIC OF PANDEMIC, THE RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM STUDENT GOVERNMENTS, $65,000 WAS GIVEN TO STUDENTS TO HELP THOSE STRUGGLING WITH COVID.

AN ADDITIONAL $77,000 WILL BE ADDED TO THE SAME COST.

IT'S BEEN A GOOD DAY.

THESE AWARDS RECOGNIZE THE EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS THE FACULTY MEMBERS MADE STATEWIDE.

THE AWARD WINNERS PUBLISHED THE SYSTEM WEBSITE TO BE RELEASED TO THE PRESS TODAY.

CAN I DO THAT, ANDREW?

>> YES, SIR.

I THOUGHT I COULD DO WHATEVER I WANTED.

THIS REPORT COVERS ITEMS DISCUSSED IN TENURE YESTERDAY.

MR. BIRDIE PROVIDED UPDATES TO VARIOUS HUMAN RESOURCES TOPICS BACK TO THE PANDEMIC EASING IN THE COMING MONTHS, THE FLEXIBLE WORK RELATIONSHIP AND THE FIVE YEAR WORFORCE TRENDS WITHIN THE SYSTEM.

THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED A REPORT ON SALARY INCREASE ACTIVITY.

THIS REPORT REFLECTED A CONSISTENTLY SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE IN SALARY ACTIVITY APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT OR HIS DESIGNEE COMPARED TO THE EQUIVALENT PERIOD LAST CALENDAR YEAR.

THIS IS A RESULT OF THE POLICY IN NONHUMAN RESOURCE ACTIONS.

THE COMMITTEE REVIEWED OTHER REPORTS AVAILABLE IN BOARD EFFECT.

THE COMMITTEE RECEIVED A BRIEFING ON TENURED FACULTY REPORT.
