Spangler: Universities Not Like Corporations
BY ADAM GUSMAN
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
One cannot run a university like a busi
ness, UNC-system president C.D. Spangler
said Wednesday at the Alpha Kappa Psi
sponsored Distinguished Speaker Series at
the Carolina Inn.
On the other hand, Spangler said, his
responsibilities as system president are
somewhat similar to those of a Chief Ex
ecutive Officer of a large American com
pany.
Spangler said that a big difference be
tween universities and businesses is the
lack of an effective hierarchical structure.

thority are clear
cut,” he said. "At
universities, there is
absolutely no tradi
tion to automati
cally fall behind the
boss. In fact, key
employees are val
ued precisely be
cause they are inno
vators and are in
clined to question.
It would not be too
much to say that
many take pride in
opposing author
ity.”
C.D. SPANGLER said
that his role as UNC
system president is
similar to that of a
corporate executive.
UNIVERSITY & CITY
Another characteristic specific to uni
versities is the difficulty of evaluating their
direction and success, Spangler said.
“Progress is almost impossible to measure,
and options are hard to assess,” Spangler
said. “Doyougiveanextrasloo,oootothe
library or to scholarships? Someone de
cides, then others second-guess. Who will
ever know who was right?”
Spangler pointed out that changes imple
mented at the University, unlike business
derisions, take time to have an effect. “If
our mission is to educate young people, we
won’t know about our success with the
class of 1998 for decades and decades,” he
said.
Spangler likened his role of UNC-sys

tem president to that of a corporate execu
tive. “Business is becoming more collegial,
and colleges are becoming more business
like,” Spanglersaid. “A university can’t be
run as a business, but there are some com
mon management issues. The university
system is a Kg business, with 30,000 em
ployees, 154,000 students and an annual
total budget of $l.B billion.”
Spangler listed some common responsi
bilities of company executives and univer
sity presidents. “A university president
must ensure there is adequate funding,
plan strategically for the future direction of
the university, deal effectively with every
day emergencies and serve as a spokesper
son for the university,” Spangler said.
Spangler is president of the 16-school
UNC system, encompassing all publicly
supported universities in North Carolina.
UNC is often referred to as the state’s
“flagship University.” Each of the 16 insti
tutions is unique, Spangler said. “This is
really a great strength of our state.”
Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional busi
ness fraternity, invited Spangler to talk
about the UNC system.
Chad Busch, vice president of member
ship, was pleased with the turnout. “We
hope to bring a distinguished speaker at
least once a semester.”

estimate they will collect more than $3
million in fines, Pendergrass said. In ac
cordance with North Carolina statutes,
Woody will be required to pay a certain
percentage of this fine, he said.
U.S. Customs Agent Mark Robinson
said the department had been investigating
the Colombia-based drug operation for
about a year.
