The U.S. Department of Education concluded in August that UNC violated campus safety laws, including by providing inadequate systems for sexual violence victims, omitting dozens of serious crimes from annual reports, violating a federal non-retaliation provision and demonstrating a lack of administrative capability that “remains a matter of serious concern.”
The conclusions are stated in a final report sent to UNC by the department’s Clery Act Compliance Division. While the University received the report nearly three months ago, interim Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz shared it with the campus community in an email Monday evening, the same day The Daily Tar Heel and other publications reached out for comment on it.
"My entire leadership team and I are deeply committed to ensuring that our campus, as well as the surrounding areas, are safe for our students, faculty, staff and visitors," interim Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said in the statement. "We will continue to invest in resources and training to ensure the University has the right tools and procedures to accurately prevent, respond to and report crimes, and issue timely notice of any known safety threats to the campus community."
The investigation began seven years ago and reviewed materials from 2009 to 2016 , stemming from a federal complaint filed by four UNC students and now-former administrator Melinda Manning.
