Mccorkle PLACE
CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50
A Conservation Garden: The North Carolina Botanical Garden at 50 (1966-2016) Volume I Researched, compiled, and written by the North Carolina Botanical Garden Greenbriers February 2019 To the visionaries who came before us, the pragmatists who carried the vision forward, and the allies yet to come; and to past, present, and future seekers who find inspiration, encouragement, and solace at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. FOREWORD One would be hard pressed to walk into any botanical garden in the world and come across a compendium of historical information as complete as this one. What is even more amazing is that this compilation of the Garden’s 50-year history was authored by volunteers! Calling themselves the Greenbriers, this dedicated group of 12, under the able leadership of Joanne Lott, has spent countless hours researching, fact checking, and writing the definitive guide to the first 50 years of the North Carolina Botanical Garden. As you peruse Volume I from the Introduction to the Reference Timeline, perhaps even delve into the Volume II appendices, you will quickly come to the realization that this history goes much deeper than the last 50 years. Indeed, the story of the North Carolina Botanical Garden is the botanical legacy of the University of North Carolina, the nation’s oldest public university. Like the entangling Greenbrier vine, the two have been intertwined and inseparable since 1903 when the University’s first professor of botany, William Chambers Coker, established a teaching collection of trees and shrubs on campus which later became the Coker Arboretum. The Garden has many other branches that can trace their origin to the Coker legacy, including Battle Park, the UNC Herbarium, the Coker Pinetum, and The Rocks at the Coker/Burns estate. -
Racial Justice Movements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1951-2018
RECLAIMING THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE: RACIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL, 1951-2018 Charlotte Fryar A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Seth Kotch Rachel Seidman Altha Cravey Timothy Marr Daniel Anderson © 2019 Charlotte Fryar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Charlotte Fryar: Reclaiming the University of the People: Racial Justice Movements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1951-2018 (Under the direction of Seth Kotch) This dissertation examines how Black students and workers engaged in movements for racial justice at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1951 to 2018 challenged the University’s dominant cultural landscape of white supremacy—a landscape in direct conflict with the University’s mission to be a public university in service to all citizens of North Carolina. Beginning with the University’s legal desegregation, this dissertation tells the history of Black students’ and workers’ resistance to institutional anti-Blackness, demonstrating how the University consistently sought to exclude Black identities and diminish any movement that challenged its white supremacy. Activated by the knowledge of the University’s history as a site of enslavement and as an institution which maintained and fortified white supremacy and segregation across North Carolina, Black students and workers protested the ways in which the University reflects and enacts systemic racial inequities within its institutional and campus landscapes. -

How Popular Discontent Is Reshaping Higher Education Law
University of Missouri School of Law Scholarship Repository Faculty Publications Faculty Scholarship 2019 The People v. Their Universities: How Popular Discontent Is Reshaping Higher Education Law Ben L. Trachtenberg Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.missouri.edu/facpubs Part of the Education Law Commons THE PEOPLE v. THEIR UNIVERSITIES: How POPULAR DIscoNTENT Is RESHAPING HIGHER EDUCATION LAW Ben Trachtenberg, ABSTRACT Surveys taken since 2015 reveal that Americans exhibit starkpartisan divisions in their opinions about colleges and universities, with recent shifts in attitudes driving changes to higher education law. In recent years, Democrats have become slightly more positive about higher education. Concurrently, Republicans have become extremely more negative, and a majority of Republicans now tells pollsters that colleges and universities have an overall negative effect on the country. Particularlyin legislative chambers controlledby Republicans,public and elite dissatisfaction with higher education has led to legal interventions into the governance of universities, with new laws related to faculty tenure, the treatment of undocumented immigrant students, the use of state funds for disfavoredprograms, the composition of university governing boards, and campus speech, among other topics. At the federal level, during the Obama Administration advocatespersuaded the Department of Education to demand sweeping changes to how institutions adjudicate allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault. At the behest of different advocates and critics, Trump Administration officials have rescinded the prior guidance and are in the process of enacting new regulations on the same campus processes. Higher education has real problems-such as skyrocketing tuition-which inspire real anger. Right-wing media outlets amplify this discontent, andpoliticians respond to voter outrage with hearings and legislation, deepening the lack of confidence. -

However, cyclical demands, particularly from Student-Activists of Color regarding campus racism, suggest more complexity at the institutional level. In comparing the responses of two public higher education institutions from 2015 to 2018, this study explored the responses by senior-level administrators, faculty, and governing boards to determine how they align with students’ concerns. Their multiple perspectives, competing demands, and layered dynamics complicate what are considered to be the institutional responses and how they are perceived by Student-Activists of Color. Situating student activism through the Institutional Response Framework, this comparative case study employs document collection, archives, and interviews. Moreover, in the traditions of Critical Race Theory and Black Feminism, these responses are contextualized within the sociopolitical histories of each campus to further illuminate the roles of incrementalism, reputation, and trust. -

Moreover, in the traditions of Critical Race Theory and Black Feminism, these responses are contextualized within the sociopolitical histories of each campus to further illuminate the roles of incrementalism, reputation, and trust. Through critical discourse analysis and thematic analysis, I ii map these patterns, tactics, and considerations onto three dimensions of the Institutional Response Framework: control, demand, and institutionalized racism. Findings reveal how responses minimize students’ concerns, criminalize activism, co-opt initiatives, and only “claim diversity” through empty dialogues.
