4The UniversityTHE UNIVERSITYHISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHCAROLINAIn North Carolina, all public educational institutionsthat grant baccalaureate degrees are part of the Universityof North Carolina. The University of North Carolina atCharlotte is one of the 16 constituent institutions of themulti-campus state university.The University of North Carolina, chartered by the N.C.General Assembly in 1789, was the first public Universityin the United States to open its doors and the only one tograduate students in the eighteenth century. The first classwas admitted in Chapel Hill in 1795. For the next 136years, the only campus of the University of North Carolinawas at Chapel Hill.In 1877, the N.C. General Assembly began sponsoringadditional institutions of higher education, diverse in originand purpose. Five were historically black institutions, andanother was founded to educate American Indians. Severalwere created to prepare teachers for the public schools.Others had a technological emphasis. One is a trainingschool for performing artists.In 1931, the N.C. General Assembly redefined theUniversity of North Carolina to include three statesupported institutions: the campus at Chapel Hill (now theUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), NorthCarolina State College (now North Carolina StateUniversity at Raleigh), and Woman's College (now theUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro). The newmulti-campus University operated with one board oftrustees and one president. By 1969, three additionalcampuses had joined the University through legislativeaction: the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, theUniversity of North Carolina at Asheville, and theUniversity of North Carolina at Wilmington.In 1971, the General Assembly passed legislationbringing into the University of North Carolina the state'sten remaining public senior institutions, each of which haduntil then been legally separate: Appalachian StateUniversity, East Carolina University, Elizabeth City StateUniversity, Fayetteville State University, North CarolinaAgricultural and Technical State University, NorthCarolina Central University, the North Carolina School ofthe Arts, Pembroke State University (now the University ofNorth Carolina at Pembroke), Western Carolina University,and Winston-Salem State University. This action createdthe current 16-campus University. (In 1985, the NorthCarolina School of Science and Mathematics, a residentialhigh school for gifted students, was declared an affiliatedschool of the University.)The UNC Board of Governors is the policy-makingbody legally charged with "the general determination,control, supervision, management, and governance of allaffairs of the constituent institutions." It elects thepresident, who administers the University. The 32 votingmembers of the Board of Governors are elected by theGeneral Assembly for four-year terms. Former boardchairmen and board members who are former governors ofNorth Carolina may continue to serve for limited periodsas non-voting members emeriti. The president of the UNC
The UniversityAssociation of Student Governments, or that student'sdesignee, is also a non-voting member.Each of the 16 constituent institutions is headed by achancellor, who is chosen by the Board of Governors onthe president's nomination and is responsible to thepresident. Each institution has a board of trustees,consisting of eight members elected by the Board ofGovernors, four appointed by the governor, and thepresident of the student body, who serves ex-officio. (TheNC School of the Arts has two additional ex-officiomembers.) Each board of trustees holds extensive powersover academic and other operations of its institution ondelegation from the Board of Governors.THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA ATCHARLOTTEUNC Charlotte aspires to be North Carolina's mostenergetic and responsive public University, offeringexcellent educational opportunities at the undergraduateand graduate levels in the liberal arts and sciences andselected professions.
