In Part II of the plan you will find a survey of the demographic, economic, andeducational context within which the University operates. This context provides thebackground upon which the plan is based. .Part II also contains enrollment projectionsfor the University through the fall of 2006.
Part III identifies planning assumptions and summarizes six interrelated strategicdirections which the Board of Governors will pursue in the fulfillment of theUniversity's mission during this planning period. It also reviews the progress made inaddressing strategic directions adopted in the previous long-range plan.

Continuous and flexible planning has been amajor activity and concern of the Board of Governorsof the University of North Carolina ever since theboard was created in 1972. The board adopted itsfirst long-range plan in 1976. Since that time it hasadopted nine revisions to the long-range plan.
The most extensive and significant revisionof the original plan was adopted by the board in1992. Early in 1990, the President and the Board ofGovernors called for a comprehensive review andreassessment of the currently assigned missions ofeach of the institutions within the University of NorthCarolina. Each institution reviewed its currentacademic program offerings, its research and servicefunctions, its administrative structure, and itsenrollment patterns and trends to identify areas wherechange was needed.
Before making his recommendations to theBoard of Governors, the President asked fourdistinguished consultants to review the materials andgive him their recommendations. The board'sCommittee on Educational Planning, Policies, andPrograms considered the consultants' report and thePresident's recommendations and, in turn, submittedits report to the full board in February 1992. Theboard approved the report at its March meeting andinstructed the President to prepare a revised long-range plan for the University of North Carolina forthe period 1992-93 through 1996-97. Long-RangePlanning, 1992-97 was adopted by the Board ofGovernors in November 1992.
Long-Range Planning, 1994-99, a revisionof the 1992 document, was adopted in 1994. Theschedule for future planning called for a revised planto be adopted in 1995 in order to return to the normalcycle of revising the University's plan in odd-numbered years, a cycle that was interrupted owingto the length of time required to prepare the 1992-97plan. However, the large number of special studiesmandated by the 1995 session of the GeneralAssembly preempted preparation of a 1995 revision.Instead a "supplement" to the 1994-99 plan,Supplement to Long-Range Planning, 1994-99, wasadopted to address changes that could not bepostponed until the preparation of the next scheduledplan, the 1998-2003 long-range plan.
A. Preparation of the Plan
This five-year plan, covering the period1998-2003, revises and updates the 1994-99 plan andthe supplement adopted in 1996. Guidelines for theparticipation of the constituent institutions in the

preparation of this plan were sent to the chancellorsin January 1997. The Committee on EducationalPlanning, Policies, and Programs began itsconsideration of the various components of the planin May, when it received a report on theaccomplishment of the strategic directions adopted inSupplement to Long-Range Planning, 1994-99. Inthe months that followed, the committee consideredand acted upon the other sections of this plan, whichwas formally adopted by the Board of Governors inJanuary, 1998.
B. The Scope and Content of the Plan
Part II of this plan contains a survey of thedemographic, economic, and educational contextwithin which the University operates and providesthe background upon which the plan is based.Enrollment projections for the University of NorthCarolina through the fall of 2006 are also provided.
Part III identifies planning assumptions andsummarizes six interrelated strategic directions whichthe Board of Governors will pursue in the fulfillmentof the University's mission during this planningperiod. It also reviews the progress made inaddressing strategic directions adopted in theprevious long-range plan.
Part IV sets forth a statement of overallmission for the University of North Carolina andnotes the constitutional and statutory mandates whichhelp to shape that mission.
Part V presents the general academicmissions for the constituent institutions, including foreach of them: a general statement of its educationalmission; its descriptive classification; all currentlyauthorized degree programs; all new programsauthorized for planning in the period 1998-2003; andan organizational chart showing primarily theacademic structure of the institution.
Part VI outlines the schedule for futureplanning.
The strategic directions and theprogrammatic thrusts contained in this plan constitutean ambitious agenda. Nevertheless, they reflect adeep commitment to respond to genuine needs and tocontribute to the development and well being of thestate and its citizens. If the University is to fulfill itsproper role, the chancellors, the President, and theBoard of Governors must plan for the future with theconfidence and hope that the citizens of NorthCarolina will continue their strong support for highereducation.

II. The Context
Higher education has long played a vital rolein the economic, political, and social life of NorthCarolina. One of the first actions of the State ofNorth Carolina after it declared independence in 1776was to adopt a Constitution which directed in partthat "all useful Learning shall be duly encouragedand promoted in one or more Universities."[Constitution of North Carolina, Sec. 41 (1776)] TheGeneral Assembly of 1789 responded to that mandateby chartering the University of North Carolina andendowing it with the escheats to which the State assovereign was entitled.
In 1868, the new State Constitution gavemore explicit recognition to the University, as did an1873 constitutional amendment. Throughout thatperiod, the University at Chapel Hill was the onlystate-supported institution of higher education inNorth Carolina.
Between 1877 and 1969, the GeneralAssembly created or acquired for the state the otherinstitutions that are today part of the University ofNorth Carolina. Those institutions, identified by theircurrent titles and the dates when they became stateinstitutions, are Fayetteville State University (1877),North Carolina State University at Raleigh (1887),the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (1887),the University of North Carolina at Greensboro(1891), North Carolina Agricultural and TechnicalState University (1891), Elizabeth City StateUniversity (1891), Western Carolina University(1893), Winston-Salem State University (1897),Appalachian State University (1903), East CarolinaUniversity (1907), North Carolina Central University(1923), North Carolina School of the Arts (1963),The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (1963),The University of North Carolina at Asheville(1963), and The University of North Carolina atWilmington (1963).
The Higher Education Reorganization Actof 1971 "redefined" the University of North Carolinaand "redesignated" the constitutional Board ofTrustees of the University of North Carolina as the"Board of Governors of the University of NorthCarolina." Thus, the University of North Carolina istoday the same legal entity that was created in 1789,despite changes in the name of its governing board,the number of its campuses, its size and scope, andalmost every other particular aspect of the institution.
In 1963, three community colleges and 20closely related industrial education centers and
technical institutes were combined to form theCommunity College System. Between 1964 and1968, all of the industrial education centers becametechnical institutes or comprehensive communitycolleges. Today, the North Carolina CommunityCollege System includes 58 community colleges ortechnical colleges and institutes, plus a Center forApplied Textile Technology. That system isgoverned by the State Board of Community Colleges.
Along with the public colleges anduniversities, a significant private sector of highereducation has long contributed much to the life of thestate. That sector developed, for the most part, in thecentury and a half since 1830. There are currently 38private colleges and universities in North Carolina.One of the 38, Salem College was founded as anacademy in 1772, and Louisburg College evolvedfrom Franklin Academy which was chartered in 1787and reopened its doors in 1805, and five of them tracetheir origins to the decade of the 1830s: Wake ForestUniversity (1834), Davidson College and GuilfordCollege (1837), and Duke University and GreensboroCollege (both in 1838). Of the remainder, 22 werefounded in the 19th century, and nine in the 20thcentury (five of them since 1950).
All of these institutions of higher educationaffect, and in turn, are affected by, their social andcultural environment. The following survey of thedemographic, economic, and educational contextwithin which they operate provides the backgroundfor this plan.
The first section notes the changingcharacteristics of the population and the rate andnature of recent and projected population growth.The section on the economy examines the majoreconomic changes in North Carolina over the pastdecade. The growth in income and employment, therestructuring of the economy, the emergence of aglobal market, and rapid technological changes areanalyzed to determine their impact upon highereducation. The third section surveys the health andwell-being of North Carolina's citizens.
An examination of the changingcharacteristics and trends in higher educationenrollments, the level of educational attainment in thestate, and the academic preparation of studentsentering colleges and universities, is followed byenrollment projections for the University of NorthCarolina through the fall of 2006.

A. North Carolina's Population
A rapidly growing population.North Carolina had a population of 7.3million people in 1996, approximately2.7 percent of the nation's population.During this decade the state'spopulation growth rate has exceedednational and regional rates, and thistrend is expected to continue. CensusBureau projections indicate that thestate will maintain its current rank asthe nation's 11th most populous stateover the next three decades, with apopulation of 7.8 million in 2000 and9.3 million by 2025. The state's netpopulation gain would rank as thenation's seventh largest, representingan overall growth rate of 29.9 percent,the nation's 16th highest.

One of the nation's fastestgrowing regions. Of the CensusBureau's four geographic regions, theSouth and the West combined areprojected to account for 80 percent ofthe nation's population growthbetween 1995 and 2000. Both regionsare experiencing high rates ofinternational in-migration, althoughthe South was the only region to havepositive net domestic in-migrationduring the first six years of this decade.The South, as defined by the CensusBureau, is the nation's most populousregion and has some of the fastestgrowing states, with Texas, Florida,and Georgia ranked first, second, andfourth, respectively, in amount ofpopulation growth during this decade.
In-migration population gainsfrom other states. NorthCarolina's population growth duringthe 1990s has differed from theSouth's overall pattern owing to thevery heavy domestic in-migration ofnew residents that the state isexperiencing. Between 1995 and2025, the state is projected to rankthird in the nation in the amount ofpopulation growth resulting frominternal migration, gaining 1.3million persons from other states.
A large rural population.Although the urbanization of NorthCarolina has proceeded at a slower pacethan national or regional rates, in the1990 Census a majority of citizens(50.4%) lived in urban areas. Despitethe ongoing growth of its metropolitanareas, North Carolina continues tohave one of the largest ruralpopulations in the nation. In the 1990Census, North Carolina had the sixthgreatest percentage of rural residentsand ranked third in overall number.Convenient access to health care and toinstitutions of higher education are twoof the challenges presented by a widelydispersed population.

A relatively stable racial and ethniccomposition. Nationally, the Asian population is thefastest-growing group in all regions, and the Hispanicpopulation is projected to account for 44 percent of thenation's population growth between 1995 and 2025.Census projections, however, indicate that NorthCarolina's population over the next three decades willgenerally reflect its current racial and ethnic distribution,which differs somewhat from the national populationcomposition as shown in Figure 5. Between 1995 and2025, the percentage of the white population is projectedto decline from 74.4 to 71 percent, the black populationwill increase from 22.2 to 24 percent, the NativeAmerican population will hold steady at 1.2 percent, theHispanic population will increase from 1.4 to 2.2percent, and the Asian population will increase from oneto 1.9 percent. However, if North Carolina begins toapproach the international in-migration rates of other fast-growing states in the South, the mix of racial and ethnicsubpopulations in the state may change more rapidly.

An aging population.Perhaps the most significantdemographic trend faced by NorthCarolina is its aging population.As the Baby Boom generationreaches retirement age, the growthof the elderly population (65 andover) will accelerate rapidly in thestate and nation. Figure 6 showsthat in North Carolina the elderlywill increase from 12.5 percent ofthe state's population in 1995 to21.4 percent in 2025.

A rising dependency ratio. North Carolina had the 31sthighest proportion of elderly in 1995 and is projected by the CensusBureau to have the Ilth highest proportion of elderly in 2025. Allstates are projected to show a decline in the proportion of youth(under 20 years old) in their populations. As shown in Figure 6 onthe preceding page, the percentage of the state's populationrepresented by the traditional school-age and college-age groups(ages 5-17 and 18-24) is expected to decrease over the next threedecades, as is the percentage of the state's traditional "working age"population (ages 25-64). This latter trend means that a smallerpercentage of the state's population will be working to produce thetaxes and other revenue that fund the state's expenditures. TheCensus Bureau defines the dependency ratio as the number of youth(under age 20) and elderly (ages 65 and over) there would be forevery 100 people of working ages (ages 20 to 64). Although thepercentage of North Carolina's population classified as youth isprojected to decrease from 27.7 percent in 1995 to 23.2 percent in2025, the increase in the percentage of the elderly population willresult in an overall increase in the dependency ratio. Figure 7 showsNorth Carolina's dependency ratio could rise from 67.1 in 1995 to80.6 in 2025. The 1995 and 2025 ratios rank the state as the 40th and 34th largest, respectively, in the nation innumber of dependent citizens. This trend will have implications in the future both for generation of staterevenues and for the state needs on which those revenues are expended.

Geographical differences in population growth. North Carolina has been divided into seven economicdevelopment regions by the N.C. Department of Commerce, and a variety of demographic and economic data onthese regions is available. Figure 8 shows the different rates of population growth in these regions for the first halfof this decade, illustrating that the fastest growing regions are those with large metropolitan areas. The sevenregions (which will be compared further in following sections) from west to east are: AdvantageWest, CarolinasPartnership (Charlotte region), Piedmont Triad, Research Triangle, Southeast, Global Transpark (east-central region),and Northeast. The top ten counties in order of population growth rate projected for this decade are: Dare,Brunswick, Wake, Pender, Carteret, Currituck, Mecklenburg, Franklin, Orange and Union. Of the counties in thefastest-growing top quartile of North Carolina's 100 counties, only three are not in the Piedmont or near the coast.The slowest growth is projected for inland counties of the northeast and southeast and for some areas in the west.

Decades of transition. North Carolina has undergone a major economic transformation in the last quarter-century -- from a state largely dependent on agriculture and widely-dispersed low-wage industries to a more urbanenvironment that has seen most job growth in the service and trade sectors. Three transitions have been noted: fromlabor-intensive to capital-intensive industries; from manufacturing jobs to trade, service, finance, transportation, andgovernment jobs; and from small family farms to large, often corporate-owned farms producing diverse products suchas hogs and poultry. Although the state is enjoying a rapidly growing economy with record or near-record levels ofjob growth and new investment, North Carolina is facing bifurcated growth and economic restructuring similar to therest of the nation. Continued shifts in the state's traditional industries place layoffs and permanent closings at ahigher rate than during the 1991 recession, and growth is occurring in both very low-wage and high-wage industries.

Focus on high technology. The shift to adiversified manufacturing base, particularly toinformation technology-based industries, offersopportunities for higher paying jobs. Figure 10shows that over the last two decades wage growthin high technology industries has outpaced otherindustry wages. Even traditional industries, suchas apparel manufacturing, are now extensivelycomputerized. Initiatives such as the NorthCarolina Alliance for Competitive Technologies(NC-ACTs), the North Carolina MicroelectronicsCenter and the North Carolina BiotechnologyCenter are part of state efforts to attract more hightechnology industries. A geographic disparityexists in the state, however, with 29.5 percent ofall high technology jobs located in the ResearchTriangle economic development region ascompared to 1.5 percent in the Northeast region.

The global economy. North Carolina's educationalsectors must increasingly take into account the state'sexpanded international presence as educational programsare planned and evaluated. A number of prominentinternational corporations have offices and manufacturingoperations in the state, and North Carolina has activeforeign industrial recruitment and trade developmentprograms. North Carolina ranked tenth nationally forexports in 1996, with totals of $17.5 billion representinga 4.4 percent increase from 1995. According to the U.S.Department of Commerce, for every $1 billion worth ofgoods a state exports, an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 jobsare created. In 1996, industrial machinery and equipmentwere North Carolina's top exports for the third year in arow, followed by chemicals and allied products. Canadatopped the list of North Carolina's export destinations,receiving products totaling $4.1 billion during 1996.Japan was second with $1.6 billion, and Saudi Arabia wasthird with $1 billion. Mexico, Brazil and China, three ofthe countries on the Department of Commerce's BigEmerging Markets list, were among North Carolina's top10 export destinations. Exports that involve hightechnology will continue to emerge as growth areas forthe state's exports. For example, North Carolina alreadymakes 60 percent of the world's fiber optic cable, withmore manufacturing capacity being developed.
Economic growth translates into personalincome growth. Historically, real economic growth inNorth Carolina has been about one percent above thenational economy, and it is anticipated that for theremainder of the 1990s the state's economy will grow atabout six percent annually, including inflation. Growth inemployment is projected to be 1.5 percent annually for theremainder of the decade, about half a percent above thenational rate. This growth, combined with the state'scurrent historically low unemployment rate, is a primaryreason for the high in-migration of workers that the stateis experiencing and for the growth in per-capita income ascompetition for qualified workers gradually pushes upwages. Since 1980, North Carolina has seen steady gainsin per-capita personal income relative to the nationalaverage. Figure 12 shows that the state's per capitaincome level is the fourth highest in the South. Realincome per capita is projected to grow about 1.3 percentper year to the year 2000. Median family income increasedover 11 percent between 1990 and 1994, from $32,400 to$36,100, but was still only 90 percent of the nationalaverage.

Increasing job skill requirements. Figure 13illustrates the shift in the education and skill levelsrequired of workers in the new economy during thisdecade. Employers' increasing educational and skillexpectations and decreases in the growth of mid-wagejobs suggest that larger jumps in skill levels will beneeded for low-paid workers to move up the economicladder. The lack of an available workforce withappropriate education and skills is cited by industriesacross the state as one of the most significant barriers toexpanding or modernizing their facilities. They arereluctant to implement more sophisticated equipment orproduction processes if they are unable to hire or retrainqualified personnel to operate advanced technologyequipment. Over the next two decades, two-thirds of alljob growth is projected in occupations (administrative,managerial, technical, sales) that generally require post-secondary education.

Regional differences in North Carolina's economy. Figure 14 portrays the geographic differences over aone-year period in the percentage of employment growth and new business start-ups among the state's seveneconomic planning regions described in the previous section. These regional differences are also evident in otherindices of prosperity such as educational attainment, poverty levels, and per capita income levels. Overallunemployment in North Carolina dipped below four percent in mid-1997 and went below three percent in some ofthe state's metropolitan areas. This low unemployment rate has been beneficial in enabling workers displaced byvarious economic restructuring activities to maintain employment. The tight labor market may also give slowergrowing counties with a higher rate of unemployment an edge in recruiting industries. For these areas to takeadvantage of this opportunity, ongoing attention must be given to upgrading the educational preparation of theirworkforce. North Carolina has generally fared well among the top manufacturing states, but its comparativeadvantage in the past has been the availability of a low-cost labor pool. As many of the lower-wage industries movetheir operations abroad, the state must upgrade its labor force to attract higher-paying knowledge-based industries.Regional alliances of local governments, educational institutions, and businesses are helping to generate newbusiness initiatives in economically under-developed areas of the state. Within the education sector, the publicschools, community colleges, and four-year colleges and universities must coordinate their educational offerings tosupport these initiatives.

C. Health and Well-being of North Carolina's Citizens
Benefits of a robust economy. As noted in the preceding section, the generally healthy North Carolinaeconomy offers hope for improving the quality of life for all of the state's citizens. Figure 15 illustrates two suchpositive indications, depicting the close relationship between North Carolina's relatively low unemployment rate andthe decline in its overall poverty rate in recent years. Another indication of the state's economic progress ishousehold income as measured by the state's Current Population Survey. From 1990 to 1996, the state's percentageof households with incomes of less than $20,000 decreased from 37.3 percent to 30.8 percent of the total. Thepercentage of households with incomes of $50,000 or more increased from 19.2 percent to 28.1 percent.

Mixed signals of prosperity and well-being. As Figure 16 illustrates, the poverty rate for older NorthCarolinians fell particularly sharply in recent years. However, during those same years, the poverty rate for youthages 0-17 rose, with over 20 percent of all youth living in poverty in 1996. This situation poses a serious challengeto the state's aspiration of developing an educated, skilled citizenry that can move North Carolina to the next level ofprosperity. The economic impact of a high rate of youth living in poverty is illustrated by the soaring stateMedicaid expenditures described on the next page.

Health care costs. In addition to geographicaccess problems, economic access to health careremains a challenge. Health care costs, both forindividuals and for state government, have risenover the last decade. The number of uninsuredindividuals in the state, which had leveled offsomewhat in recent years, has escalated again,perhaps due to the steady in-migration of newresidents, some of whom are low-wage earners.Medicaid expenditures have soared (annual growthof 18.7 percent in the last decade), creating furtherbudget constraints for the state's expenditures.Approximately 200,000 children in NorthCarolina have no basic health insurance or routinesource of health care.
Slow progress in healthstatistics. Health conditions inNorth Carolina are improving but arestill below the national average inmany categories. Infant deaths per1,000 births have declined in thisdecade, but are still among the nation'shighest, as is the percentage of birthsto teenage mothers. Figure 17 showsthat North Carolina mortality ratesexceed national averages in all of theleading causes of death. There aredifferences in mortality rates amongsubpopulations in the state, with deathrates of black males in particularexceeding both state and nationalaverages. Sixty North Carolinacounties have been identified as havinginadequate numbers of certain types ofhealth profeqsionals.

The role of education.Educational attainment is clearlylinked to the prosperity of NorthCarolina's citizens. Differences inannual and lifetime earnings amongworkers with various levels ofeducation has accelerated in recentyears, highlighting the importance ofeducation to the state's prosperity.Figure 19 shows that a much greaterdifferential in annual earnings existsbetween workers with a four-yearcollege education or greater andworkers with a high school educationor less.

Mixed success in educational attainment. Figure20 shows that in the last quarter-century North Carolina hasmade impressive gains in closing the gap between the stateand the nation in the percentage of population with a highschool diploma. Nevertheless, although the percentage ofNorth Carolina citizens with a high school educationcontinues to increase, the gap between the state and nationalpercentages has not narrowed during this decade. In 1995 thestate ranked 44th among the states in percent of high schoolgraduates among persons age 25 and over. Figure 20 alsoshows that this trend is generally the same for the percentageof the state's population obtaining a college education. Thegap between the state and national percentages of personscompleting an undergraduate college degree has not decreasedover the last 25 years, going from a 2.2 percent difference in1970 to a 2.4 percent difference in 1995.
An improving college-going rate. This relative lackof progress in attainment of the baccalaureate degree is aresult of North Carolina's historically low college-going rate.However, recent trends appear promising for closing the gapbetween state and national college-going rates. In 1986,when such data were first made available by the NationalCenter for Educational Statistics, the national college-goingrate was 53.7 percent, compared to a North Carolina rate of51.8 percent. Over the following decade, the differencebetween state and national rates has varied, and by 1994 ithad narrowed to a 61.3 percent state rate compared to a 61.9percent national rate. The extent to which this participationrate is maintained or increased will be an important influenceon growth of UNC enrollments and on strengthening thestate's educational foundation for progress

Improved public school preparation for college.N.C. high school graduates are better prepared for collegetoday than they were in the 1980s. As Table 1 shows, thedifference between average SAT scores for the state andnation has fallen steadily for the last two decades. Thehigher scores indicate the benefits of students taking morethan the minimum number of courses required for graduationin each subject area. High school dropout rates declinedslightly from 1995 to 1996, from 3.78 to 3.73 percent. TheABCs of Public Education, the state's major educationreform effort, began in high schools in fall, 1997. At theelementary and middle school level, the program places astrong emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics, whichwill benefit students as they enter high school and preparefor college. On 1996 National Assessment of EducationalProgress tests, North Carolina fourth-graders exceeded thenational average in math for the first time, and eighth-grademathematics scores reached the national average.

North Carolina's higher education sectors.There are three sectors of higher education in NorthCarolina: the University of North Carolina composed of16 public universities; the North Carolina CommunityCollege System composed of 58 public two-yearinstitutions; and the private sector composed of 35independent four-year colleges and universities and threeindependent junior colleges. Institutions in all threesectors have experienced considerable growth inenrollments and degrees conferred, as Table 2 shows. Fallenrollments increased by almost 30 percent during theperiod 1976-1986, and by 16 percent during the period1986-1996. It is likely that even greater growth inenrollments will occur during the next decade as the annualnumber of high school graduates increases and as workingadults increasingly seek additional education.
Increased participation in higher education b yminorities and women. Much of the increase inenrollments and degrees conferred in the last two decades isdue to the higher rates of college attendance by women,minorities, non-traditional students, and college studentsreturning for post-baccalaureate studies. In fall, 1997,African-American enrollments at historically white UNCinstitutions reached their highest percentage ever, 9.84percent. Women constitute the majority of enrolledstudents in all North Carolina higher education sectors.

Higher education enrollment trends. Increases over the last two decades in non-traditional students attendingcollege have resulted in increases in the percentage of older students (Figure 23) and students who are enrolled part-time (Figure 24). Although independent colleges and universities continue to attract a large percentage of theirstudents from outside North Carolina, out-of-state enrollments in UNC institutions have leveled off in recent years(Figure 25). As the demand for advanced education increases, enrollments in graduate and professional programs haveincreased, particularly among private institutions (Figure 26).

UNC enrollment projection model. Projections ofUNC enrollments are built on extrapolations of twoelements: 1) pools of potential students by age group, and2) UNC attendance rates of these groups. The UNCenrollment projection model takes account of the pools ofpotential students by using actual and projected counts ofhigh school graduates from the State Department of PublicInstruction and actual and projected counts of older NorthCarolinians from the State Demographer. Figure 27 plotsdata on the actual and projected pools of potential in-statestudents. The data show that the primary pool of potentialstudents -- 18-21 year-old public high school graduates -- isexpected to decrease until 1997-98 and then begin increasingthrough the remainder of the projection period. By 2005,the number will reach approximately the same level as1985. Similarly, the pool of 22-24 year-olds is projected todecrease through 2002 and begin increasing steadilyafterward, although not returning to the 1985 level duringthis projection period. The pool of 25-35 year-old N.C.residents is projected to decrease slightly over the nextdecade. Only the pool of North Carolinians 36 and older, agroup that accounts for only about 11 percent of UNC'senrollments, is projected to increase significantly during thisperiod. Thus, growth in enrollments is likely to be weak byhistoric standards through the next four years, gainingmomentum by 2001, and increasing vigorously for severalyears after. More than three-fourths of the growth in the nextten years is expected during the last half of that period.

UNC attendance rates by age group.The UNC enrollment projection modelcurrently used employs a seven-year averageof population pool participation rates toproject enrollments on each UNC campus.The averages are weighted, meaning thattrends in more recent years are given greatersignificance. Figure 28 depicts the increasein UNC attendance rates for N.C. highschool graduates in recent years, which haspartially offset the decline in the number ofhigh school graduates over the same period.Conversely, as the number of high schoolgraduates increases over the next decade, it ispossible that the UNC going rate will leveloff. Participation rates for the pool of 18-21year-old N.C. high school graduates rosefrom 24.7 percent in 1987 to 30.4 percent in1997. Among 22-24 year-old N.C. high
school graduates, UNC attendance rates rosefrom 7.1 percent in 1985 to 11.4 percent in 1993 before leveling off at 10.8 percent in 1995. UNC attendance ratesfor N.C. residents ages 25-35 have increased slowly over the past decade from 1.7 percent in 1985 to 2.2 percent in1995. The attendance rate for North Carolinians ages 35 and older has increased very slightly over the last decade(from 0.3 to 0.4 percent), although this participation rate may increase dramatically as the changing economyrequires additional education and as distance education programs and technology become more widely available.

UNC enrollment projections. Figure 29 displays projected UNC fall headcount enrollments through 2006.Although an early 1990s decline in the number of N.C. high school graduates resulted in a slight dip in enrollmentsin 1996, accelerating enrollment growth is anticipated during the ten-year period 1997-2006. The UNC systemenrollment projections shown below are the sum of projections made for each campus using the population poolprojections described previously and the historical campus enrollment rates of students grouped by degree level,residency status and age group.

The UNC response to anticipated enrollment growth. UNC is undertaking a variety of initiatives toaddress the enrollment increase anticipated over the next decade, including improved services and electronicinformation systems supporting distance education and increased collaboration with other education sectors. Otherinitiatives, addressed in greater detail in the Strategic Directions section, are:
Development of pilot off-campus degree programs. Pilot off-campus baccalaureate completion andmaster's degree programs have been authorized at a number of community colleges and other sites, supported byspecial funding made available by the General Assembly.Expansion of off-campus and distance education offerings. In response to a special provision inthe 1997 budget act, UNC is preparing a budget request for the 1998 reconvened session of the GeneralAssembly to fund off-campus and distance education courses and programs at a level comparable to that providedfor regular-term instruction.More efficient use of space on campus. Campuses have examined a number of ways to increase theircapacity to educate more students on campus, such as: scheduling classes at a greater variety of times, reducinglow enrollment courses, and offering some courses electronically to residential students.Expanded summer school enrollment. To meet the anticipated enrollment increases of the next drcade,UNC institutions must make full use of their facilities year round. In order to provide the necessary support forsignificantly expanded enrollments in the summer, UNC is preparing a budget request to fund summer school ina manner comparable to regular-term instruction.Continued growth in capital renovation and construction funds. Accommodating increasedenrollment on campus will also require ongoing state funding for repairs and renovations of existing facilitiesand construction of new facilities. The 1997 General Assembly directed the Board of Governors to study therelative equity and adequacy of the physical facilities at the constituent institutions. The study results willprovide useful information regarding the University's ability to meet the facilities needs of current and futureenrollments. A recently revised process for determining capital priorities and the development of space standardswill support better informed decisions regarding capital projects.

III. Strategic Directions
This section: 1) presents the planning assumptions underlying the University's strategic directions;2) describes activities undertaken and progress made in addressing the strategic directions of the prior long-rangeplanning document (Supplement to Long-Range Planning 1994-99), with acknowledgment of the state resources andcollaboration with other educational sectors that assisted in this progress; and 3) outlines the strategic directions andassociated strategies adopted by the Board of Governors for the planning period 1998-2003.
A. Planning Assumptions
The long-range plan of the University ofNorth Carolina for 1998-2003 is informed by thestate and national demographic, economic, and
educational context. Those factors exerting thestrongest influence on University planning duringthis period may be summarized as follows:
North Carolina's population growth is exceedingnational and regional rates, with much of thisgrowth due to a high rate of in-migration fromother states. The growth is occurring mainly inthe state's major metropolitan areas, alonginterstate highway corridors, and in certaincoastal and western counties. Nevertheless,North Carolina also has the nation's third largestrural population, which presents issues related toaccess to educational and other services. Thestate's racial and ethnic composition is graduallybecoming more diverse, although African-Americans will remain by far the state's largestminority group.
Age-related demographics of the state arechanging. Over the next three decades, theelderly population will increase substantiallywhile the overall percentage of the traditionalschool-age and working-age population willdecrease. In the shorter term, however, after adecline in the first half of the 1990s, thetraditional college-age population will increaseover the next decade to mid-1980s levels. Thisgrowth will be compounded by increased collegeattendance rates by North Carolina high schoolgraduates, particularly women and minoritystudents.
North Carolina is continuing its transition to acapital- and knowledge-intensive economy, whichhas contributed to per capita personal incomegrowth and low unemployment rates. However,for continued growth in higher paying jobs suchas those in high technology industries, the state
19
must increase the percentage of its workforce thatis appropriately skilled and educated. DespiteNorth Carolina's steady economic progress,approximately one-fifth of its youth live inpoverty, and various indices of health and well-being continue to lag behind national rates.
In view of the demographic and economicconditions which will characterize the next decade,this long-range plan is based upon the followingassumptions:
Enrollment in higher education will growsteadily throughout the planning period as aresult of increased numbers of North Carolinahigh school graduates, improved high schoolpreparation for college, increased retention ofstudents in college, and educational requirementsof the changing economy. Meeting this demandfor expanded access to higher education willrequire a multi-faceted response by theUniversity, including: optimal use of campusfacilities and off-campus locations, innovativeapproaches to delivery of education and
educational services, and close collaboration withother educational sectors.
The excellence of the University depends on thequality of its faculty and the availability ofappropriate resources to support its educationalmission. This excellence is manifested in thequality of education that the University's studentsreceive, the creation and dissemination of newknowledge that contributes to the state'seconomy and the well-being of its citizens, andthe service provided by faculty offering theirexpertise to address problems faced by NorthCarolina. This excellence must be sustained bystrategic application of resources that attract thebest faculty and students and that provide anappropriate supporting infrastructure, includinglibraries and information technology.
9 3
o Accountability and documentation of outcomeswill become even more important as the role ofthe University evolves in meeting the educationalneeds of an expanded and diverse population oflearners and in partnering with the state topromote economic development and prosperityfor its citizens. Excellence in teaching must berecognized and rewarded in every instructionalsetting. The University must promote everyreasonable means to ensure student success andmust carefully evaluate its educational offeringsin terms of their quality, student demand, andrelevance to needs of the state.
Because of its state-wide educational mission andits available pool of expertise, the University hasa special role in leading the way as the statecontinues its transition into the Information Age.Only through innovative and purposefulapplication of advances in informationtechnology can the University meet theeducational needs of an expanding pool oftraditional college-age students as well as apotentially huge audience of place-bound adultlearners. As technology-based instruction
increases both on campus and at distanceeducation sites, every effort must be made toensure a high level of educational quality andlearner satisfaction.
The University recognizes the many demandsplaced on the state by increasingly complex andcostly societal needs and accepts itsresponsibility for equitable and prudentstewardship of its resources. Ongoing attentionwill be given to opportunities for conservingresources and reapplying them as new conditionsand needs arise. The University will continue topromote the flexibility and accountability neededfor maximum efficiency in the use of itsresources.
In recent years the University has intensified itsefforts to serve as a partner and supporter ofNorth Carolina's public schools. The prosperityof the state and the ultimate success of theUniversity depend upon the educationalpreparation that North Carolina's students receivein grades K-12.
B. Progress on Strategic Directions of Previous Long-Range Plan
Expand access to higher education for both traditionaland nontraditional students.
The University has promoted expansion of off-campus instruction sites, especially atcommunity colleges and military bases. Usingspecial funding appropriated by the 1995 Sessionof the General Assembly, the Board of Governorsauthorized four UNC institutions to offerbaccalaureate completion programs oncommunity college campuses and military bases.In 1996, the General Assembly appropriatedadditional funds that were allocated to six UNCinstitutions to support pilot programs thatutilized a variety of distance learningtechnologies.
Currently, thirteen of the University'sconstituent institutions are authorized to offer atotal of 121 degree-related extension programs atsites throughout the state. Many of theseprograms are relying increasingly on distanceeducation technologies for instructional delivery.
2920
The 1996 General Assembly appropriated fundsto support a variety of technology-basedinitiatives, including faculty and coursedevelopment in the application of educationaltechnologies to the curriculum and instruction.The Board of Governors awarded funds to 15
institutions for projects involving integration ofinstructional technologies into existing coursesand/or the development or revision of courses fordistance learning delivery.
In May, 1997, the University began a study todevelop space standards for various types offacilities. These standards, when used inconjunction with the data in the annual NorthCarolina Higher Education Facilities Inventoryand Utilization Study, will make possible moreeffective space planning and utilization andsupport better informed decisions on developingpriorities for capital projects that will supportenrollment growth.
Over the last decade, the University has beensuccessful in improving the enrollments ofminority students. From 1987 to 1997, totalheadcount enrollment in the University increased16.9 percent and white student enrollmentincreased 10.1 percent, while enrollment ofAfrican-American students increased by 28.9percent, enrollment of American Indian studentsincreased by 50.0 percent, and enrollment ofother races 91.5 percent. In 1997, historicallywhite institutions enrolled a record highpercentage of African-American students (9.84percent).
The University has worked with the NorthCarolina Community College System to developuniform policies for the transfer of credit fromcommunity colleges to UNC institutions. ThisComprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA)includes agreement on a general education corewhich is portable and transferable as a blockacross the community college system and toUNC institutions.
Beyond the transfer core component, jointacademic disciplinary committees have developedsystemwide guidelines for community collegecurricula that will prepare students for intendedmajors or professional specialization at thebaccalaureate level. The third element of thetransfer plan is an electronic information systemwhich provides: electronic access to currenttransfer policies, guidelines, and on-line catalogsfor public post-secondary institutions;computerized common application forms; and anelectronic mail network for transfer counselorsand prospective transfer students.
The University has pursued increasedcollaboration with other education sectors toexpand access to higher education. For theBoard's Plan for Continued and ExpandedAvailability of Higher Education in NorthCarolina, surveys were sent to the state'scommunity college transfer students and studentsin other programs that articulate with UNCbaccalaureate programs, and surveys were sent toall public schools for distribution among thestate's teachers. The resulting data provide anexcellent source of information for UNC,community colleges, and public school systemsto address the needs of learners throughout thestate.
Another example of educational inter-sectorcollaboration is the 1997 report produced by theTask Force on Removal of Barriers to IntersectorCollaboration in Distance Learning, a groupappointed by the Education Cabinet to develop aplan for exchange of courses among the variouseducation sectors.
Preserve and heighten the excellence andcompetitiveness of the University of North Carolina.
The Distinguished Professors Endowment TrustFund, established by the General Assembly in1985, has received annual continuing funding of$1 million since 1993-94 as well as annual non-recurring funds of varying amounts from thelegislature. The most recent report on the fund(November, 1997) notes that a total of 119distinguished professorships have been approvedat all sixteen constituent institutions under thisprogram.
In 1997 the C. D. Spangler Foundationannounced a five-year matching gifts plan thatcould create as many as 80 endowed chairs. In
each of the next five years, the foundation willcontribute $100,000 to each campus for adistinguished professorship, provided eachcampus raises an additional $233,000 fromprivate sources.
The 1997 Library Study Final Report is a
comprehensive, university-wide review of libraryresources, services, and information technology.The report points out that in the immediatefuture, libraries will focus more of their resourcesand staffs on identifying user needs, emphasizingaccess to information as opposed to ownership,exploiting new technology and local networks,linking library programs more directly toacademic programs, monitoring economicchanges, and, as a result of this, reallocatingresources.
The 1997 General Assembly provided $2 millionannually for expansion of library resources of theconstituent institutions and the initiation of theelectronic North Carolina Virtual Library, whichwill extend statewide electronic access tobibliographic and full-text databases and othercore materials through the state's universities,community colleges and the public libraries.

The 1995 General Assembly authorized theBoards of Trustees of constituent institutionswhich had professional schools (law, medicine,dentistry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine) oroffered a master's degree in businessadministration to increase tuition by an amountnot to exceed $400 per full-time resident studentper academic year and $3,000 per full-timenonresident student per academic year, using therevenues derived from the increase to enhance therelated professional school.
In 1996 the General Assembly appropriated$1,684,532 to increase the number of graduatetuition remissions awards. These funds are
essential for maintaining the excellence of theUniversity's graduate programs.
In Fiscal Year 1996-97, for the first time, annualsponsored project awards to UNC institutionssurpassed the $500 million mark. Overallgrowth for UNC institutions in the last decadewas 139 percent in current dollars, with a 14percent increase from Fiscal Year 1996 to FiscalYear 1997. Over the last 15 years, UNC hassteadily improved its position among alluniversity systems nationally in federal fundsreceived for research and development, goingfrom sixth place in the early 1980s to third place(behind the California and Texas systems) in1995.
The "Report on Organized Research Centers andInstitutes and Public Service Units Within theUniversity of North Carolina" (January, 1997)summarized the activities of the 103 activecenters and institutes within the University. Thereport documents the positive economic impactof the centers on North Carolina throughattracting the majority of their operationalfunding from non-state sources and by thecommercialization of new technologies.
Improve the quality of education on-campus and off-campus.
Student evaluations of instruction and instructorsare now required in every department within theUniversity on a regular, ongoing basis; and everydepartment has instituted formal methods of peerreview of faculty performance, including directobservation of classroom teaching for new and
31 22
non-tenured faculty and graduate teachingassistants.
Campuses report annually on implementation ofpolicies requiring appropriate training,supervision, evaluation, and support of graduatestudents teaching courses in a classroom setting.
Annual Board of Governors awards for excellencein teaching are made to faculty (one perinstitution) nominated through careful campusprocedures. These awards carry a stipend of$7,500, and an engraved medallion is given toeach recipient. In addition to these systemwideawards, all institutions have awards foroutstanding teaching at the campus-wide orschool/college level. The board has allocated atotal of $125,000 to supplement funds for thesecampus-based awards. In 1996 the GeneralAssembly appropriated funds equivalent to anadditional one-half percent increase in facultysalaries to recognize outstanding teaching.
Nine institutions have established formal centersfor teaching and learning, and other campuses areseeking the necessary funding to do so.Institutions have appointed coordinators forfaculty development, created teachingeffectiveness committees, assembled collectionsof resource materials on teaching, held facultyretreats on teaching and learning, set upcurriculum and instructional developmentprograms, and formed task forces on teachingexcellence
The University continues to expand access tolibrary and digital information and services and tolaboratory resources. The University maintains aWeb site providing links to On-line PublicAccess Catalogs (OPAC's) and Web-based libraryresources throughout the UNC system.
Various institutions have joined together on aregional basis to allow simultaneous searching oftheir catalogs. In addition to the long-establishedand highly successful Triangle Research LibrariesNetwork (NCCU, NCSU, UNC-CH, Duke), thefollowing networks have been established: theWestern N.C. Library Network (ASU, UNCA,WCU); the Central N.C. Library Consortium(NCA&T, NCSA, WSSU); the Eastern CarolinaLibrary Network (ECU, ECU Health Sciences,ECSU); and the UNC Coastal Library Network(FSU, UNCP, UNCW).
The University Library Advisory Council(ULAC) is composed of the directors of the 16university libraries and a representative fromUNC General Administration. A ULACCooperative Database Committee is addressingUNC systemwide sharing, via the Internet, ofdatabases mounted at a single campus library andmulti-campus licensing of databases in order toreduce costs.
In 1995, the Subcommittee on AcademicAdvising of the Board of Governors recommendedin its report, "Academic Advising in theUniversity of North Carolina," that all UNCinstitutions incorporate in their advising systemsthe characteristics of effective advising as
outlined in the report. The November 1996report, "Second Report on Academic Advising inthe University of North Carolina," summarizedthe results of graduating senior surveys conductedin 1995 and 1996 concerning satisfaction withadvising and made recommendations for
improving advising activities.
There is a biennial review of programscharacterized by low productivity. The first suchreview was completed in January, 1996; thesecond was completed in October, 1997.
Identify and implement the most promisingapplications of technology.
In 1996 the General Assembly transferred $13million from the Department of Commerce'sMCNC budget to the Board of Governors to beused for contracting the purchase ofsupercomputing and research and educationnetworking services in order to continue theprovision of these services at North Carolinacolleges and universities.
The 1997 General Assembly passed a specialprovision allowing each special responsibilityconstituent institution to use one percent of itsrequired reversion for nonrecurring costs oftechnology, including infrastructure for academicfacilities on the campus or for libraries.University-wide, this will increase funding byapproximately $13 million in each year of thebiennium to support information technology,computing, library and telecommunicationspriorities.

Promote increased efficiency in the use of Universityresources.
In response to the findings of the 1996 fundingequity study, the 1997 General Assemblyprovided $21 million to be distributed on acontinuing basis to the five institutions whosefunding rates were found to be below equitablelevels.
"A Revised Funding Model for the University ofNorth Carolina: Phase 2 Final Report"(November 8, 1996) calls for several changes inthe expansions and improvements component ofthe current budget model for funding enrollmentgrowth for both on-campus and off-campusinstruction.
The University is currently in the eighth stage ofa ten-stage planning process leading to a newperformance budgeting system. The process willidentify "customers and expected outcomes"associated with each category of budgetedprogram activity. Each program activity will besubdivided as appropriate into programs andsubprograms, each having its own stated goals,objectives and program statistics.
Recent events such as an increased emphasis onassessment measures, transfer articulationagreements, measuring the public servicecontributions of the University, accommodatingthe data needs of equity funding analyses, anddeveloping a new funding model have alldramatically increased the data collectionactivities and responsibilities of GeneralAdministration and the constituent institutions.The 1997 General Assembly appropriated fundsfor additional administrative support for newprocesses.
The "Board of Governors Plan for RewardingFaculty Teaching" (April 12, 1996) commits theboard to report annually to the Joint LegislativeEducation Oversight Committee on teachingworkloads.
In response to a mandate of the 1995 GeneralAssembly, the Board of Governors engaged MGTof America, Inc., to produce an outsourcing andprivatization study for the University of NorthCarolina. This report is being followed by
separate and detailed privatization studies on eachcampus.
In March 1996 the Board of Governors adopted areport, "Capital Request Process and
Prioritization Study," which recommended thatthe board develop a new policy framework for allelements of capital planning and budgetingprocesses. The report's recommendations arebeing implemented, including one that the boardshould develop a "Space Capacity Model" toarticulate standards that can be used in assessingrelative needs and priorities for basic spacecategories.
Budget flexibility has enabled institutions tomanage their resources more efficiently and moreeffectively. The ability to shift funds allowsinstitutions to respond more quickly to changingneeds and circumstances.
The 1997 General Assembly passed a provisionallowing the constituent institutions greaterflexibility in purchasing and in administeringcapital construction and renovation projects.
Continue to propose and support initiatives to servethe needs of the State's public schools.
The 1989 Session Laws called for the Board ofGovernors to adopt standards to create andenhance an organized program of public serviceand technical assistance to public schools. Thishas led to the creation of an Office of SchoolServices at each of the constituent institutionswith a school, college, or department ofeducation. The Offices of School Services havereported annually on their extensive efforts toprovide access for public schools_ to consultationavailable from members of the faculties of theUNC institutions.
The 1997 General Assembly appropriated funds($1,785,000 in 1997-98 and $1,185,000 in1998-99) to support a series of university-schoolteacher education partnerships that expand uponand complement the successful model clinicalteaching programs currently in operation. Theplanning phases of these partnerships were fundedby a grant from the Z. Smith ReynoldsFoundation.

9 With the Spangler Technology Initiative, theGeneral Assembly allocated $2,250,000 to theUniversity to hire staff and purchase equipment.Each UNC school, college, or department ofeducation received funds to employ a technologyspecialist to train education faculty to utilizeinstructional technology and a one-timeallocation to significantly upgrade the technologyinfrastructure for the education faculty andstudents.
The School Technology Users Task Forceproposed that the state's eight EducationalConsortia bring together the universities,community colleges, and public schools todevelop a regional plan for the implementation ofthe recommendations of the task force. Regionalplans were developed and implementation hasbegun. In the 1996-97 University budget,$100,000 was set aside in a reserve fund fortechnology training for public school educators.The eight universities which have EducationalConsortia were invited to submit proposals forspecial projects, to be completed by June 1997,and grants of $12,500 were made to eachinstitution.
In January, 1997, the Board of Governorsapproved establishment of the UNC Center forLeadership Development, which will centralizethe state's education programs for teachers andadministrators and provide support for educatorsin the classroom. The center will work with thefollowing programs to better align their activitieswith the state's education goals: The Principals'Executive Program, the North Carolina Centerfor the Advancement of Teaching, the NorthCarolina Teacher Academy, and the Mathematicsand Science Education Network.
C. Strategic Directions for the Planning Period 1998-2003
The Board of Governors has selected six interrelated strategic directions to pursue in the fulfillment of itsmission during this planning period. In order to provide continuity in the University's planning and budgetingactivities, these six strategic directions are the same as those presented in the previous long-range plan adopted by theBoard of Governors in November, 1996, although specific strategies have been added or updated as appropriate toreflect recent progress and new activities. Those implementation strategies that will have outcome measuresassociated with the State's Performance/Program Budget system are marked with an asterisk.

IV. The Mission
The mission of the University is shaped inlarge measure by the constitutional and statutorymandates by which public higher education isestablished and maintained. Article IX of theConstitution of the State declares:
Sec. 8. Higher education. The GeneralAssembly shall maintain a public system ofhigher education, comprising The Universityof North Carolina and such other institutionsof higher education as the General Assemblymay deem wise ....
Sec. 9. Benefits of public institutions ofhigher education. The General Assemblyshall provide that the benefits of TheUniversity of North Carolina and otherpublic institutions of higher education, as faras practicable, be extended to the people ofthe State free of expense.
This constitutional mandate for a publicsystem of higher education is effected by Chapters115 and 116 of the General Statutes. Chapter 115A,enacted in 1963, provides for a statewide network ofcommunity and technical colleges and instituteswhich offer two-year college transfer and technicaland vocational programs. Chapter 116 of thestatutes, as amended by the General Assemblyeffective July 1, 1972, provides in Section 3 that:
The board of trustees of theUniversity of North Carolina is herebyredesignated, effective July 1, 1972, as the'Board of Governors of the University ofNorth Carolina.' The Board of Governorsshall be known and distinguished by thename of 'the University of North Carolina'and shall continue as a body politic andcorporate and by that name shall haveperpetual succession and a common seal.
Section 4 of the statute provides for theUniversity of North Carolina to be composed of the16 public senior institutions in the state.
The Higher Education Reorganization Actof 1971, which placed those 16 institutions under onegoverning board, asserted the basic objectives andpurposes for the University of North Carolina: tofoster the development of a well-planned andcoordinated system of higher education, to improvethe quality of education, to extend its benefits, and toencourage an economical use of the state's resources.
29
Central to the process of strategic planningis the clarification of the overall mission of theUniversity as a whole and the role and scope of theconstituent institutions within that overall mission.As a part of the comprehensive mission review of1992, the Board of Governors adopted a generalmission statement for the University. This statement,with minor modifications, was given statutory statusin 1995 when the General Assembly amendedChapter 116-1 of the General Statutes to include thefollowing as the official mission statement of theUniversity of North Carolina:
Statement of Mission
The University of North Carolina is apublic, multi-campus university dedicatedto the service of North Carolina and itspeople. It encompasses the 16 diverseconstituent institutions and othereducational, research, and public serviceorganizations. Each shares in the overallmission of the University. That mission isto discover, create, transmit, and applyknowledge to address the needs ofindividuals and society. This mission isaccomplished through instruction, whichcommunicates the knowledge and valuesand imparts the skills necessary forindividuals to lead responsible,productive, and personally satisfyinglives; through research, scholarship, andcreative activities, which advanceknowledge and enhance the educationalprocess; and through public service,which contributes to the solution ofsocietal problems and enriches the qualityof life in the State. In the fulfillment ofthis mission, the University shall seek anefficient use of available resources toensure the highest quality in its service tothe citizens of the State.
Teaching and learning constitute theprimary service that the Universityrenders to society. Teaching, orinstruction, is the primary responsibilityof each of the constituent institutions.The relative importance of research andpublic service, which enhance teachingand learning, varies among theconstituent institutions, depending ontheir overall missions.

V. General Academic Missions of the Constituent Institutions
The planning responsibility of the Boardof Governors serves both a comprehensive and aspecific purpose. The comprehensive purpose isfound in the statutory responsibility to "plan anddevelop a coordinated system of higher educationin North Carolina." The specific purpose is foundin the further statutory responsibility to "determinethe functions, educational activities and academicprograms" of each institution. It is this specificresponsibility for each of the institutions that isaddressed in this section of the long-range plan.
For each of the constituent institutions, thesection presents the general academic missioncontaining the following: a general statement of theeducational mission of the institution; itsdescriptive classification; all currently authorizeddegree programs in the institution, by degree leveland by discipline division and discipline specialty;any programs that the institution is authorized todiscontinue; all new programs that the institution isauthorized to plan during this planning period;reconfirmation of previous program planningauthorizations; and an organizational chart showingprimarily the academic structure of the institution.
A. Institutional Classification
The descriptive classification of theinstitutions used by the University of NorthCarolina is that developed by the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement of Teaching)The Carnegie classification system includes allinstitutions listed in the National Center forEducation Statistics' Education Directory.
It is important to recognize that thisclassification system does not rank institutions. Itis not a hierarchy of merit, a listing of institutionsfrom superior to inferior, or from more worthy toless worthy. It is, instead, a grouping of collegesand universities according to their sharedcharacteristics and functions. The criteria for thegroupings include: level and type of programsoffered, enrollments, number of degrees awardedby level and discipline areas, the emphasis placedon research, and the annual amount of federalresearch support received. The listing ofauthorized degree programs by level and bydiscipline division and specialty further defines theinstitution in terms of program array.
To encompass all colleges and universitiesin the United States, the classification systemestablished 11 categories. Six of these categoriesinclude all of the constituent institutions of theUniversity of North Carolina. They are as follows:
Research Universities I
North Carolina State University at RaleighThe University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill
Doctoral Universities I
The University of North Carolinaat Greensboro
Master's (Comprehensive) Universities andColleges I

B. Academic Program Development
A necessary element in the University'splanning is the definition of the educationalmission of each of the constituent institutions,including the specification of degree programseach of them is authorized to offer. It is inacademic program development that one gets to theheart of crucial decisions in higher education, andit is in this area that the Board of Governors hasbeen most responsible and responsive to the publicinterest.
The general principles and prioritiesdefined and pursued by the board thus far inacademic program development include thefollowing:
Institutional diversity must be maintained.Universities need not, and should not, all be alike.Neither the demands of the labor market, nor theneeds of society, nor available resources require orpermit the homogenization of institutions. Theneed is to strengthen and improve each of theconstituent institutions in carrying out its assignedmission.
Greater access to educational opportunitymust be provided. In extending the benefits ofeducation, it is the objective of the Board ofGovernors to provide needed higher educationalopportunities for all citizens of North Carolina whohave the aptitude, motivation, and desire to pursueprograms of higher education. Only in this waycan we hope to cultivate the truly educatedcitizenry that a changing society and economydemand.
Quality is the critical ingredient in alleffective education. It should not be diluted byover-expansion when funds, equipment, programbase, or facilities are inadequate to the task. Forthis reason, the board has emphasized thestrengthening of existing programs that are neededover the initiation of new programs, especiallywhen current programs are deemed sufficient tomeet the state's needs for qualified professionals.
The University has a primary obligationto provide undergraduate education of highquality. The majority of students enrolled in theUniversity are undergraduates, and this imposes onall institutions the responsibility to provide forthose students an educational experience of highquality. This is a basic obligation of everycampus, and institutions are urged to improve andstrengthen their undergraduate and general studiesprograms.
33_,
With respect to the development of newgraduate programs, it is essential to recognize animportant distinction between the master's leveland doctoral programs. Many master's degreestend to be professionally or occupationally orientedand to be sought by students who are bound to aregion or locality. Such programs are lessdemanding in terms of faculty, facilities andequipment, and can be mounted less expensivelythan doctoral programs. Proposed new doctoralprograms should be evaluated in terms ofdemonstrated need, the capacity to offer a highquality program, the availability of funding, andthe economical use of the state's resources.
Good management requires theapplication of priorities and the judiciousallocation of resources. Academic programs andcourse offerings must be up-to-date and must beresponsive to legitimate needs, but the counterpartof change is the discontinuation of programs nolonger needed. Low quality, low productivity, andlow priority programs must be eliminated in orderto redirect resources to higher needs and priorities.Fiscal constraints are particularly important ininitiating programs at the doctoral and firstprofessional levels, where program costs andspecialized facilities and other resources arerequired. These considerations also apply incertain areas of undergraduate education such asengineering, the sciences, and health professions.
In keeping with these principles andpriorities, the Board of Governors has defined ageneral academic mission for each of the UNCinstitutions, setting forth those continuations andalterations in institutional programs and activitiesthat in the judgment of the board should take placeover a given planning period.
Through its biennial academic programplanning process the Board of Governors, betweenJuly 1972 and November 1997, has approved theestablishment of 343 new academic degreeprograms and the discontinuation of 365 academicdegree programs.
The 1993 Session of the GeneralAssembly passed legislation to implement aGovernment Performance Audit Committee'srecommendations for a review of academic degreeprograms in the University of North Carolina. Inresponse to that legislation, the Board of Governorsinitiated a comprehensive, biennial review processall degree programs. This review process is nowconducted in conjunction with the biennial revisionof the University's long-range plan.
Ljt
The Committee on Educational Planning,Policies, and Programs developed criteria andguidelines for the review. Applying those criteriaand guidelines, 127 degree programs outside theundergraduate academic core (programs in thebasic arts and sciences, education, and business andmanagement) were identified for review in 1997.These programs were reviewed not only in terms oflow enrollments and degree productivity, but alsoin terms of such factors as low quality, high costs,low occupational demand, or a low level ofcentrality to the institutional mission. Somecampuses also reviewed other academic degreeprograms with respect to productivity, institutionalpriorities, and unnecessary duplication.
Recommendations for programdiscontinuations were approved by the board inOctober, 1997. Overall 11 academic degreeprograms and an additional three degree programtracks were discontinued. A total of 32 degreeprograms were deleted from the AcademicProgram Inventory as separate, stand-aloneprograms and consolidated or merged with otherrelated degree programs. Taken together, therecommended discontinuations and consolidationsresulted in a total reduction of 43 in the number ofseparate, stand-alone degree programs in theUniversity's Academic Program Inventory.
34
As a result of the review associated withthe preparation of this long-range plan,authorization is given for the planning of sevennew programs at the baccalaureate level, 11 at themaster's level, and four at the doctoral level. Inaddition, 32 previous planning authorizations arereconfirmed: 10 at the baccalaureate level, 14 at themaster's level, and eight at the doctoral level. Itmust be emphasized that the eventualestablishment of these programs will be dependentupon the availability of resources.
These planning authorizations andprogram discontinuations are listed in the generalacademic mission section for the respectiveinstitutions.

VI. Schedule for Future Planning
A. Revision of the Long-Range Plan
This plan will be reviewed in 1999 and willbe revised biennially thereafter in odd-numberedyears. The Board of Governors shall issue a revisedlong-range plan in early 2000, prior to preparation ofthe biennial budget request for 2001-03. This willensure close linkage between the University'splanning and budget processes.
Planning at the institutional level will focusupon the review of the General Academic Mission ofthe institution (including all of those elementsoutlined in Part V above) together with appropriatefurther definitions by the Board of Governors ofinstitutional responsibilities and assignments,including biennial review of academic degreeprograms characterized by low productivity.
In December 1998 the President will provideguidelines and instructions for the preparation of anyproposed amendments to the long-range plan. Afterappropriate consultation with the faculty, eachchancellor will submit to the President any proposedrevisions in the organization, academic programofferings, or the mission of the institution for theperiod 2000-01 through 2005-06. Current planningauthorizations and any requests for additionalprogram planning will need to be reviewed in thelight of the General Assembly's response to the 1999-2001 Biennial Budget Request of the board.
After careful review and evaluation of theinstitutional proposals, the President shall present herrecommendations to the Board of Governors'Committee on Educational Planning, Policies, andPrograms. The committee shall, in turn, make itsreport and recommendations to the board, and theboard will take such actions to amend the long-rangeplan as it may deem necessary and appropriate.
Each subsequent review will be coordinatedwith and supplemented by special planning studiesand program evaluations that may be initiated by theBoard of Governors and will be conducted inconsultation with such other agencies, institutions,and organizations as may be required.
B. Planning and Establishing New Programs,Centers and Institutes
Requests for authorization to plan newacademic degree programs may be submitted forreview by the President in conjunction with thebiennial revisions of the long-range plan inaccordance with the Academic Program DevelopmentProcedures. Departure from this schedule may bepermitted when circumstances require greater
flexibility than the usual schedule may allow andthen only when authorized by the President.
Requests for authorization to establish newacademic degree programs, which have beenpreviously authorized for planning, may be submittedto the President at any time and in accordance withthe Academic Program Development Procedures.The preparation and submission of such requestsmust involve a rigorous assessment of need and costs.
Requests for authorization to plan or toinitiate degree-related extension programs may besubmitted to the President in accordance withAdministrative Memorandum 372.
Requests for authorization to plan or toestablish new centers or institutes may be submittedto the President at any time in accordance with theAcademic Program Development Procedures.
C. Conclusion
Effective planning must recognize theimportance of flexibility to respond to changingneeds and opportunities. Procedures for the regular,orderly assessment and adaptation of plans and ofmissions are necessary. Nevertheless, the provisionof such procedures does not mean that theinstitutional missions and objectives declared in thisplan are merely temporary, or casual, and thus lightlyor hastily altered. The capacity for change isessential, but so is a measure of stability andcontinuity.
This plan reflects not only the currentjudgment of the institutions and the Board ofGovernors, but also the experience that has shapedthe institutions and their programs. In the absence ofmajor and rapid shifts in circumstances, needs,opportunities, and available resources, it isreasonable to anticipate that future program changeswill be relatively slow and incremental.
To avoid dilution of the quality of neededexisting programs by the creation of additional ones,the need for new programs must be well documented,potential costs must be assessed realistically, andcurrent programs must be evaluated rigorously.
The adoption and implementation of thisplan reflect this two-fold commitment by the Boardof Governors: to be responsive to the needs of thestate and its citizens, and to be responsible in the useof the resources which they make available to theUniversity.
