Abstract:

During the latter 19th century, America's educational needs evolved to require more applied and advanced courses to meet the demands of a more business and technology oriented society. Many major universities, including the University of North Carolina struggled through this period of reform and redefinition. Due to several federal Reconstruction Acts, which caused a reorganization of the state education system, the trustees closed the school from 1871 to 1875. In 1875, a new board and President Kemp P. Battle (1831-1919) reorganized the school into six colleges and reopened to students.

Abstract:

In 1933 at the University of North Carolina medical school, there was a quota on the number of Jewish students that were to be accepted into the program. Medical school dean Isaac Hall Manning kept Jewish students to about 10 percent of the overall program based on the argument that those students would not be accepted elsewhere after the program and the school's reputation would suffer. University president Frank Porter Graham argued against Manning's quota system on moral grounds until Manning resigned.

Abstract:

This article examines potential causes for University of North Carolina professor Benjamin Sherwood Hedrick'a steadfast antislavery beliefs which, among other things, led to his dismissal in 1856. The university stated its reasoning for the decision came from its belief that the university was no place for rancorous political debates. Effectively banished from his native North Carolina, Hedrick worked for the US Patent Office in Washington, D.C., and never again lived in North Carolina on a permanent basis.

Abstract:

UNC historians Lars Schoultz and Louis Perez have been studying United States history with Cuba. Schoultz analyzed unpublished archives from the CIA during the Bay of Pigs Invasion, which confirm plans for using U.S. troops in Cuba. Perez documented metaphors that U.S. policymakers and politicians have used to depict Cuba as a country needing to be saved. Both authors agree that the U.S. should engage with Cuba and end the embargo.

Abstract:

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is ignoring its mission and is suffering from corporatization. John Hammond is a UNC School of Medicine professor emeritus and has investigated the university's recent practices. The university’s hospital has reduced access for the poor while raising its tuition and rewarding leaders with large bonuses. Hammond describes a drift from the university’s mission since 1987, discusses how the university has become more corporate, and worries that this hurts students and the local community.
