Losing these faculty, who UNC system President Molly Broad termed “linchpins of the system,” can have a domino effect, Shelton said. “When you lose an individual, then people start looking around and asking what that means to them.” But board member Ben Ruffin, who said the University was “blessed” with endowments, dona tions and generous alumni, won- Now Showing!
