About UNC — Overview
The North Carolina State Constitution as revised in 1970 mandates
that "The General Assembly shall maintain a public system of higher
education, comprising The University of North Carolina and such other
institutions of higher education as the General Assembly may deem wise.
The General Assembly shall provide for the selection of trustees of
The University of North Carolina. . . ." In slightly different
language, this provision had been in the Constitution since 1868.
The University of North Carolina is composed of sixteen public senior
institutions, each with a chancellor and a board of trustees. The sixteen
campuses are responsible to a common board
of governors, who elect
a president as
chief administrative officer of the university. The University's administrative
offices are located at the Office of the
President in
Chapel Hill.
