Cardell, Ph.D Vice President Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Office: 404.679.4501 ext. 4529 Fax: 404.679.4558 1 14 THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL OVERVIEW Overview The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill respectfully submits this report to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) in response to its letter of November 13, 2014 requesting information relating to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s compliance with various Principles of Accreditation. Institutional Profile of UNC-Chapel Hill Founded in 1789, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s premier institutions of higher education. The University offers 78 bachelor, 112 master, 68 doctorate, and a number of professional degree programs through 12 highly ranked and accredited schools and the College of Arts and Sciences. More than 29,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students learn from approximately 3,700 faculty members. Carolina regularly ranks as the “Best Value” in U.S. public higher education, according to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, and was recently recognized by The New York Times as one of the nation’s top three “Most Economically Diverse Colleges.” Our 81.1% undergraduate student body four-year graduation rate (2007 cohort) exceeds the average rate of our public peers by approximately 16%. UNC-Chapel Hill also ranks among the world’s leading research universities. A member of the prominent Association of American Universities, Carolina received $792.7 million in total research funding for fiscal 2014, with over $428 million awarded to researchers by the National Institutes of Health alone in the same year. Carolina’s faculty, staff, and students shape their teaching, research, and public service to meet North Carolina’s most pressing needs in all 100 counties, and our 301,755 alumni live and contribute to their communities across North Carolina and in all 50 states and more than 150 countries. The University’s long history and record of accomplishment engenders great pride throughout the entire Carolina community, past and present. With this pride, however, comes a special obligation for the University to ensure integrity and transparency and to promote excellence in all Carolina does. The University has always taken this obligation seriously but has never felt it more acutely than today. Given the challenges of recent years, we understand that our commitment to being diligent and forthright is more important than ever. History, Context and Scope of this Report History of Reporting This report is the second major submission to SACSCOC on past academic improprieties within the former Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM Department). The University fully supports the Commission’s decision to request new information following the release of the Wainstein Report (referred to as the “Cadwalader Report” in the November 14, 2014 SACSCOC letter to the University). By bringing together new information -– arising from extensive interviews with the two RESPONSE TO THE SACSCOC LETTER OF NOVEMBER 13, 2014 15 OVERVIEW principal parties made possible by direct intervention from the Orange County District Attorney, far- reaching new document reviews, including new materials collected as part of the criminal investigation -– the Wainstein Report made it clear that the University’s failings, as both the University and Commission correctly observe, affected more students and lasted longer than previously known. Carolina accepts full responsibility for the wrongdoing, has apologized repeatedly and forthrightly to the impacted students and alumni, and will continue to monitor previous reforms and institute additional measures, wherever needed, to ensure and enhance academic integrity. We appreciate the Commission’s choice to ask questions about the completeness of certain communications with the Special Committee during its April 2013 visit. It is understandable to look back at that visit through the lens of the new findings and expansive information in the Wainstein Report. Since receiving the report, Carolina, too, has asked itself many questions about the past, including the knowledge and participation of certain individuals in the wrongdoing. The Commission has the University’s commitment to inform its leadership immediately if the University ever learns that information was misrepresented to or withheld from the Special Committee. Carolina deeply values its relationship with SACSCOC, and respects the Commission’s work with Carolina during the difficult times that

  • DEAR READERS from the Desk of the Editor
    DEAR READERS From the desk of the editor Dear Readers, The semester is almost at a close and the UNC professors seem determined to squeeze as much into these last few weeks as possible. Papers, projects, exams, presentations, all piling up on each other. Yet even amongst this busyness our writers found time to churn out a few articles based on current events, here in Chapel Hill and in America at large. In this issue you’ll read everything from new staff writer Samuel Mao’s take on the recent Hollywood scandals to Jesse Oliver’s defense of capitalism. It’s the end of the year, and some of us needed to blow of some steam, so a few writers opted to try their hands at satire. Such articles have been noted as such.

  • 8 the Challenge of Memorializing Slavery in North Carolina the Unsung Founders Memorial and the North Carolina Freedom Monument Project Renée Ater
    8 The Challenge of Memorializing Slavery in North Carolina The Unsung Founders Memorial and the North Carolina Freedom Monument Project Renée Ater Commemoration of the Atlantic slave trade, slavery, and subsequent eman- cipation of African Americans has presented a formidable challenge for artists working in three-dimensional form in the United States. Nineteenth- century sculptors such as John Quincy Adams Ward, Edmonia Lewis, and Thomas Ball wrestled with the questions of how best to memorialize slav- ery and freedom, and how to depict the black body in bronze and mar- ble.1 In the early twentieth century, amateur art historian Freeman Henry Morris Murray, in his volume, Emancipation and The Freed in American Sculpture (1916), recognized that the location of sculpture in civic and pub- lic spaces spoke to communities about who they were and how they remem- bered the past. He wrote: The fact is, nearly all sculptural groups and a considerable number of individual statues, are based on some purpose beyond mere portrai- ture or illustration. Moreover, these commemorative and “speaking” groups generally stand in the open, at the intersections of the highways and in the most conspicuous places. We cannot be too concerned as to what they say or suggest, or what they leave unsaid.2 Murray succinctly articulated the problem and politics of representation, meaning, and remembrance of the slave past in public space. He was con- cerned, foremost, with how sculpture shaped the public’s understanding of slavery and of African Americans in the post-Civil War era. Murray feared that citizens and local governments would use monuments dedicated to the Civil War to erase slavery from public memory, and that they would only cel- ebrate the white heroes and common soldiers of this seismic event.

  • Moving Past Silent Sam 7 Alex Helms for the First Time I Am Ashamed of My School 9 Nicole Divers
    DEAR READERS: A Letter From the Editor Dear Readers, To all freshmen and transfer students: welcome to Chapel Hill! To all returning Cha- pel Hill students: welcome back! I hope your frst month of classes has been going well and thanks for checking out our frst issue of the Carolina Review for this school year. The Carolina Review is UNC’s only conservative publication on campus and has been around since 1992. We thought a ftting frst issue would be all about our reactions to Silent Sam falling on August 20. There are many different points that are made in these articles and I believe they can all add to the conversation that is Silent Sam’s removal. As you will notice, there is no single viewpoint the Carolina Review holds. The Caro- lina Review is simply a collection of passionate conservatives who want to infuence their college campus and the world through writing. The Carolina Review is always open to new writers, so if you want to get more involved with politics at UNC as a conservative, this is a great chance! If you’re not exactly a conservative, thanks for sticking around this long and please give the magazine a chance. One of the biggest advantages of going to a university like UNC is listening to diverse thought with open ears and conversing with people you may not initially agree with. With that being said, The Carolina Review is one of the only sites on campus offering the conservative viewpoint on issues. So please, have fun reading and explore The Carolina Review in depth and with an open mind.
