UNDER REVIEW

In the fall, the UNC Board of Governors began a review of the 240 centers and institutes run by the state’s public universities.

By December, the board cut its list to 34. Of those, the board learned that seven centers, including two at N.C. A&T and three at UNCG, might be closed by the universities because they lacked funding.

That leaves these 27 centers that the university system might close:

Appalachian State (3): Brantley Risk and Insurance Center; Center for Economic Research and Policy Analysis; Research Institute for Environment, Energy, and Economics.

East Carolina (7): Center for Applied Computational Studies; Center for Diversity and Inequality Research; Center for Health Systems Research and Development; Center for Natural Hazards Mitigation Research; N.C. Agromedicine Institute; N.C. Center for Biodiversity; Rural Education Institute.

N.C. Central (2): Institute for Civic Engagement and Social Change; Juvenile Justice Institute.

N.C. State (1): Institute for Emerging Issues.

UNC Chapel Hill (9): Carolina Center for Public Service; Carolina Women’s Center; Center for Civil Rights; Center for Faculty Excellence (formerly the Center for Teaching and Learning); Center for Law and Government; Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity; James B.
