At the Faculty Executive Committee meeting Monday afternoon, committee members discussed several topics, including a report about inequality of women faculty members and relations between the University and the N.C. General Assembly.
Members said they were disappointed in the proportions of women faculty members who are on track to receive tenure and who are in leadership positions. They debated how they could more effectively encourage progress on the issue.
Members of the committee also expressed concern with different University issues the legislature has control over, such as tuition for out-of-state students and funds for research.
Stephen Leonard, a member of the Faculty Assembly delegation, gave a presentation on the delegation’s trip to Raleigh to meet with state legislators. He said he is worried about potential further cuts to the UNC-system.
