by waiting until May or June for their
hearings. Lea said the punishment for
cheating is suspension for the remainder
of the semester and an F in the course.
But Trinh said he is not too worried
about potential suspension, in part
because computer science department
Chairman Stephen Weiss is testifying. He
said Weiss will speak in his defense.

“There is a bit of frustration on my
part, and 1 don’t feel like some people
completely understood the issues,” he
said.

submit one name, but he still must for
mally approve Shelton. The Board of
Trustees and the Board of Governors
must then accept Shelton’s appointment
Shelton also must decide whether he
will accept the job if it is offered to him. He
said he hopes his visit will help make that
choice easier. “My goal is to gather infor
mation and come to a conclusion very
quickly, but at this point, I’m very favor
ably impressed.”
Shelton has already been to UNC
once - four of the five finalists were
brought to campus for open forums and
meetings with University administrators.
Shelton addressed issues such as enroll
ment as he fielded questions from students,
faculty and staff last month. But he said
there are still topics he needs to explore
further before making a final decision.
“I want to understand the kind of
working relationship the chancellor wants
to have with his provost,” he said. “I also
want to understand more about some of
the issues UNC is facing and more about
how they funnel into the provost’s office.”
But Shelton said he has not told his col
leagues that he might be leaving UC for
UNC. “1 think that, until there’s a decision
made, it’s better to keep things confiden
tial,” he said. “I don’t want to get people
worried or upset for no reason. But if we
all come to agreement on this like we all
hope, we’ll announce it to the world with
great pride.”
“I was invited by the defense, but I then
have the questions asked, and I just give
the answers,” Weiss said. He declined to
disclose the content of his testimony.
Coggins also is testifying at the hearings
but said he cannot comment on the cases.
Trinh said he decided to make his hear
ing open to bring attention to the case’s
injustice. “Those of us that worked in
groups, none of us thought we cheated.”

“I joined because last year I didn’t get
to go to the Duke game, and I really
want to go this year,” sophomore Kristie
Wolfe said.
But McGinnis hopes that students
joining Carolina Fever are more like
freshman Crystal Leonard.
“I really wanted to join an organiza
tion and express my school spirit,” she
said.
“I like to get crazy at the games.”

Those who
know Shelton said
they are not sur
prised by the
chance he might be
looking to advance
professionally.
“He’s moved up a
lot in the last 10 or
12 years,” said
Peter Klavins, a
research specialist
in the UC-Davis
physics depart
ment. “He’s very
good at organizing
and directing pro-

grams, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s
(moving) onward.”
Before joining the UC system,
Shelton worked at lowa State University
and with Ames Laboratory, a branch of
the U.S. Department of Energy. He
joined the UC-Davis faculty in 1987,
serving as chairman of the physics
department. He then became the vice
chancellor for research at UC-Davis and
in 1996, became the vice provost for
research for the UC system.
He graduated from Stanford
University in 1970 and earned his doc
torate at UC-San Diego in 1975.
His colleagues said UNC should
count its blessings if the transition takes
place. “It’s great news for you if you get
him,” said Barry Klein, vice provost for
academic personnel at UC-Davis.
“He was a superb department chair,
did an excellent job as vice chancellor

TUITION
From Page 1
Wednesday’s video conference was
called to help committee members
reach a consensus on the recommenda
tion, saidjeff Davies, UNC-system vice
president of finance.
Barnes said that accepting a small
tuition increase would help students
show N.C. voters that they are willing to
do their part financially to support the
UNC system -a particularly important
point given the upcoming $3.1 billion
bond referendum that will fund higher
education capital improvements. But
Payne called the “show of good faith"
argument about the relationship
between student’s acceptance of the
tuition increase and the state’s passage
of the bond “ridiculous.” “They’re in no
way connected to each other,” he said.
“Taxpayers have no idea that stu
dents are paying a 4 percent increase.”

for research and as the systemwide vice
provost for research.”
Klein said Shelton stands out as an
administrator for his ability to effectively
tackle problems. “One thing we learn as
physics people is how to tackle very dif
ficult problems,” Klein said. “He’s used to
taking a very complicated problem, ana
lyzing it and coming up with solutions.”
Klavins also said Shelton handles issues
by adopting a consultative approach.
“He takes the time to listen to his stu
dents and is really involved in what
they’re doing. He doesn’t direct the con T
versation - he sits back and listens and
gives good direction once he takes in
what students have to say."
Both Klein and Klavins cited Shelton’s
weekly meetings with graduate students
at UC-Davis as evidence of his genuine
concern for students. “He has a very
demanding job, but he still lives in Davis
and comes back every Friday to work
with his research groups,” Klein said. “It’s
kind of unusual for an administrator to
stay so engaged with his students.”
The appointment is still far from final.
But, as Shelton planned his trip, he said
he feels good about the prospect of
becoming UNC’s next provost. “I hope
it’s coming through in my voice that I
am really excited about this opportuni
ty,” he said! “Overall, I was so attracted
by the remarkable sense of love and
commitment to the University that came
out from everyone.”
