JUNE 14 - Members of UNO’s Kenan-Flagler Business School faculty could be teaching classes under the desert sun of Qatar next year. The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, a government-backed organization in the small Middle East country, approached the business school about two years ago to discuss opening a branch business school. “We’re still in discussions with our faculty to gauge the level of support and to be sure that we’ve considered all the issues,” said Julie Collins, a senior asso ciate dean at the business school. “We’re hoping these discussions con tinue on a positive footing, as they have been thus far, so that we may be able to move forward.” The Qatar Foundation, created six years ago by the ruling emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, would bear all of the financial burden for the new school. Robert Sullivan, dean of the business school, said at a May 24 meeting of the Board of Trustees that there had been discussion of a deal in which for each student enrolled in Qatar, the founda tion would provide funds to enroll one additional undergraduate student at UNC. The trustees voted unanimously at that meeting to authorize continuing the discussions. “To the extent that we’re committed to being more global in our approach to education, this is one of several oppor tunities that face us," said trustee Tim Burnett, who was part of a recent facul ty trip to Qatar paid for by the found tion. Collins said there are still many aspects of the proposal to discuss. “We have to continue to evaluate this program and its consistency with our mis sion as a public state institution,” she said. “The bottom line is, we have to be sure that this in no way costs the University anything, and that it provides enhanced opportunities for the people we serve here in Chapel Hill.” She said if all proceeds smoothly, the first classes in Qatar could be held as early as fall 2002 or 2003. “The key to making it work is the fac L % \j/ g|.:= JT"^ £ mr m.

Collins also said she strongly sup ported making the program a reality. “I had been very impressed with the Qatar Foundation’s commitment to excellence,” Collins said. “(There is) the potential for the University to begin to have more of a presence in additional parts of the world.” Geoff Wessel can be reached at vrooom@email.unc.edu.
