UNC System Reports
UNC's General Administration produces several publications for reporting and administration purposes. Sections of these publications are available on the web to reduce printing costs and make the information more widely available. Through the link above, you can access reports varying from statistical abstracts of campuses, to the Code of the UNC Board of Governors, to institutional profiles of the 16 campuses.

What We Do: The Daily Work of UNC Faculty
Newly appointed UNC President Erskine Bowles requested that the UNC Faculty Assembly tell him, and North Carolina legislators, what an ordinary day in a faculty member's life as like. The result was the report above, published in May 2006. Wrote the executive committee of UNC to Bowles, "Here, as you requested, are faculty accounts of a “typical” day or week in their lives. These faculty, from each of the 16 campuses and representing a multitude of disciplines, volunteered to tell you about their work lives. Those lives are both ordinary and extraordinary. It has been a wonderful and elucidating exercise for us on the Faculty Assembly to learn about the work of our fellow faculty – from Elizabeth City to Wilmington, from Raleigh to Boone."

NC-AAUP Resolution on Academic Freedom in North Carolina
Adopted April 2, 2005

WHEREAS academic freedom is necessary to advance all areas of human knowledge; and

WHEREAS government control of university teaching and research is antithetical to the free exchange of ideas; and

WHEREAS numerous protections for the academic freedom of both students and faculty alike are already substantively built into the codes, missions, and visions of the University of North Carolina system;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
The North Carolina Conference of the American Association of University Professors calls on state legislators to oppose Senate Bill 1139 because the Academic Bill of Rights proposes to remove academic expertise as the standard for decisions about teaching and research at universities. Only the scholarly expertise of the faculty should continue to determine the content of teaching and research. We urge all faculty and administrators at North Carolina colleges and universities to join us in our opposition to this political intrusion on academic freedom.
