UNC-Chapel Hill eliminated the most positions and redirected the most funding of its statewide peers as it worked to comply with the North Carolina System’s new policies regarding diversity on campus, according to a report on the changes.

Leadership for the flagship campus submitted its report to the UNC System Board of Governors — which met in committees on Wednesday — about the changes required after North Carolina’s public higher education system repealed its policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in May. Chapel Hill University, as well as the 16 other system schools, had a deadline of September 1 to submit its updates on the completed cuts and position changes to comply.

According to the report, UNC cut 20 positions, with the most coming to central administrative roles as the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was disbanded. Among those eliminated roles is vice provost for equity and inclusion, which was held by Leah Cox — although she is still employed by the university. The School of Medicine experienced the most position cuts out of the professional schools, including the elimination of its Office of Rural Initiatives and its vice dean of diversity, equity, and inclusion role. 

UNC said the changes will lead to $5,389,202 in savings, which will be directed to some of the job transfers, hiring efforts for the affected schools, and various programs.

Beyond position cuts, UNC shared dozens of other programmatic changes it made to comply with the new policy, which is called Equality Within the University of North Carolina. They include the closing or renaming of offices and programs with diversity and inclusivity as key components of their missions.

Additionally, Carolina reported 27 positions “realignments,” which included updating job titles and responsibilities for faculty and staff who focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts before the policy change.
