New Season of Leadership Loading

On May 23, 2024 the UNC System Board of Governors formally passed the repeal of Section 300.8.5 of the UNC Policy Manual, Policy on Diversity and Inclusion Within the University of North Carolina, and 300.8.5[R] of the UNC Policy Manual, Regulation on Diversity and Inclusion Within the University of North Carolina, and replace them with the superseding Section 300.8.5 of the UNC Policy Manual, Equality Within the University of North Carolina. This move essentially dissolved the mandatory chief diversity officer role and its associated offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the UNC System. As this transition process is being completed, I'd like to personally thank each and every one of you for supporting our vision of inclusive excellence in seeing this work as a shared responsibility in educating, inspiring, and empowering communities to champion humanity, care and dignity for all.
