• Mission Review
– “UNC should examine the missions of its 17 constituent
institutions in light of national, state and regional needs from a
‘system’ perspective so that the programs and resources of all
institutions serve the state and its regions in a manner that
complements each other, maximizes resources, and avoids
unnecessary duplication.”
– “The campus mission statement is meant to capture the core
focus of the institution and the distinctiveness of its approach
to teaching, research and scholarship, and public service.”
