The new interim Chancellor was named. He's a Dukie, and he has no professional administrative experience in higher education. A purely political appointment from the gerrymandered General Assembly who controls the Board of Governors and Board of Trustees. He was last seen running the State's economy into the ground alongside Pat McCrory. The expectation is the interim tag will be removed shortly.
After running off two great Chancellors in Folt and Guskiewicz, the politicians who have spent decades trying to ruin UNC have finally got one of their cronies into the Chancellor seat. Aside from the obvious awful impact on education, the expectation is this will really screw UNC over in conference realignment. The NCGA intends to hold UNC hostage in order to "force" the SEC/B1G to offer NC State a spot too. And now they have taken the steps to ensure they will be able to do that.
