The UNC
Policy Manual
600.2.1.1[G]
Adopted
10/15/99
In response to expressions of interest by constituent institutions
in augmenting representation on the boards of trustees of institutional
endowment funds, to engage additional expertise and support, the Board of
Governors on October 8, 1999, approved amendments to its policy (first adopted
in 1977 and last revised in 1981) implementing the provisions of N.C.G.S. §
116-36 as amended by Chapter 506 of the 1977 Session Laws (see 600.2.1 of this Policy
Manual). The changes appear in
Section A.4. of the Board of Governors policy.
The regulations formerly required that the board of trustees of
the endowment fund of a constituent institution consist of no fewer than five
and no more than seven members, two of whom were to be ex officio, viz., the chair of the board of trustees and the
chancellor of the constituent institution.
The revised policy expands the membership of the endowment board to
consist of no less than six and no more than nine members, including a third ex officio member to be designated by
the board of trustees of the constituent institution from among the officers of
that board or of the committees of that board.
In accordance with those policy revisions, the board of trustees
of each constituent institution must be informed of their responsibility to add
one additional ex officio member to
the existing endowment board and of their opportunity to add one or more
additional at-large members, if they choose to do so, subject to a maximum
permissible membership of nine.
