Abstract:
What a Greenville business executive could contribute more to the UNC system’s Board of Governors and the UNC System’s 17 universities is his value of efficiency. How he has displayed efficiency is through supporting the consolidation of state controlled ECU Physicians Group and Vidant Medical Group. How he can display efficiency is through the passage of two initiatives. One is moving consolidating the UNC system’s offices into one building. Another is the UNC system handling the financial parts of all system campuses instead of each campus operating independently. It is through such initiatives that Harry Smith’s hope of better controlling UNC system tuition and fees may be realized.

Abstract:
How the UNC system passes the test is seemingly simple: graduate more students from rural parts of North Carolina and low income households; graduate more students within five years. What makes the test not so simple to pass is issues not so easily measured in rates or statistics. Those highlighted included the pressure on unprepared students to attend a university; post high school alternatives under-promoted because of the attention placed on university attendance.

Abstract:
North Carolina’s constitution gives state lawmakers authority over the University of North Carolina System, but its governing board has traditionally rejected politics. The board rejecting politics may longer be normal as ties between state lawmakers and the Board of Governors have strengthened. The recent actions of the Board of Governors and their political ties and influences are examined.

Abstract:
A recent report came to this conclusion about higher education. It concerned the status higher education had achieved, as measured by the business world’s standards: a mature enterprise. This type of business is measured by three criteria, which the author suggested has become increasingly true about higher education: reluctant to take risks; self-promoting; and expensive.

Abstract:
Economic and occupational growth in the Tarheel State, partly because of sectors such as banking and higher education, has fed what Hood called North Carolina Exceptionalism. What may be less obvious to those on both side of the political spectrum is the role that the Republican and Democrat parties have played in the growth of such sectors, whether for credit or blame.
