UNC Board of Governors wants UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor gone by January 31

[TexasTowelie]

The UNC Board of Governors accepted UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Carol Folt’s resignation Tuesday – but said they want her out of the position by the end of this month.

Folt announced her resignation abruptly Monday after tensions with the board of governors over the future of the “Silent Sam” Confederate statue. In a press conference Tuesday morning, Folt said she hoped to stay until graduation in May.

The Board of Governors has authorized interim UNC President William Roper to to appoint an interim chancellor “at such time as he deems appropriate” until a new full-time chancellor can be chosen.

UNC Board of Governors Chair Harry Smith said in a statement Monday that the board was blindsided by Folt’s resignation and upset by her order to remove the base of the Confederate statue, which was taken to an unnamed secure location Monday night.

1. GOP legislature packed the BOG with RW idiots and delegated them to dismantle the oldest

Public University in America because of UNC students, graduates, professors and administrators who have resisted the Art Pope Caliphate in all of its forms. UNC-Chapel Hill used to be called the Zoo by Jesse Helms because of its intellectual candor and the diversity of faculty and students.

Bicentennial Class of 1994 here calling out Art's rethugs for pretending to represent the true heritage of North Carolina. As a 36 year resident and Tar Heel I saw much which disputes the sick fantasies foisted by those who pine for the Jim Crow days. The average NC native is far more moderate and forgiving than Art Pope or the MSM would have you believe.

Was a lovely parting gift to the university and North Carolina at large. Bon voyage, Chancellor Carol Folt. All the best to you, chancellor. Thank you for your service.
