The UNC Board of Governors approved UNC system President C.D. Spangler’s plan Friday to supple ment chancellors’ salaries by as much as 33 percent with private donations. The plan would allow the school to pay its chancel lor as much as $200,000, which would make the University more attractive to potential candidates. Under the proposal, money from a foundation related to the institution could be used. The funds would have to be approved by the BOG and be made public. Spangler saidhethoughtthe move would aid UNC’s ongo ing chancellor search. Accord ing to the Associated Press, he said, “I believe if this did not pass, it would change the com position of their search to the point that they would have to start over. “My guess is everything they’re doing right now is con tingent on this.” Some have complained that the $150,000 the University paid its chancellor was not comparable to salaries offered at other universi ties. Still, Spangler insisted his proposal was not merely a response to UNC’s chancellor search. He said he’d been concerned for years that many UNC-system chancellors took pay cuts in order to join the system. According to the Associated Press, Hardin said an increase in salaries would help attract top candidates. He said that he had been willing to leave Drew Univer sity for UNC because he wanted to return to North would be very harmful to the University, Hardin said. “I don’t know why we’re going to cut back on the best thing this state has ever had going for it,” he said.“lf these cuts are enacted, we’ll never recover—the damage will be permanent.” The cuts include raising out-of-state tu ition at UNC, N.C.

According to Spangler’s plan, UNC campuses could add as much as one-third of the chancellor’s base salary, which is paid by the state. That means maxi mum salary increases would range from $29,000 at Elizabeth City State University to $50,000 at UNC and N.C. State University.

The House has proposed a 6.66 percent cut for the 1995-96 fisml year and an 8.64 percent cut for the 1996-97 fiscal year for the University. The House proposals will discourage graduate students from attending UNC because their tuition will increase and the pay of teaching assistants will decrease, Hardin said. See HARDIN, Page 2
