Edwards said that each person possesses an innate desire to help academia, where many began their careers. “Research and teaching were my first love,” Marshall said. But after leaving their posts at UNC, two former deans accepted top positions at other schools. Robert Sullivan, former dean of the Kenan-Flagler Business School, founded a graduate program at the University of Califomia-San Diego. Risa Palm, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, is pro vost at Louisiana State University.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, plan to return to Orange County, where they recently purchased land. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. Gene Nichol, dean of the School of Law, is a candidate for president at the College of William and Mary. Past deans also have moved to more prestigious posts at UNC. Dr. William Roper, who served as the dean of the School of Public Health and earned a salary of $279,332 in 2003, stepped down to lead the UNC Health Care System. In March 2004, officials tapped Roper for the three-tiered position as the chief executive of the UNC Health Care Systems, vice chancel lor for medical affairs and dean of the UNC School of Medicine. “I saw this as an opportunity to take on a new set of challenges,” he said. Roper now makes $450,000 per year, UNC’s highest base salary. After a nationwide search, a com mittee selected Dr. Barbara Rimer, a faculty member in the public health school, to replace Roper. Internal faculty members account for half of the leaders tapped for dean positions. In the search for the journalism school dean, no internal candidates have made the final cut. “You want hometown knowledge that (appreciates) the Carolina tra dition, as well as new people that bring new ideas,” Shelton said. Jose-Marie Griffiths knows the challenges and advantages of being an outsider. She left a top post at the University of Pittsburgh to become dean of the information and library science school last August. “I feel like as an outsider, I come here with a mission,” she said. Griffiths said she also plans to stay for the long term, giving the Office of the Provost an chance to relax, at least for the time being. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

He also said this year’s nonresident tuition, though officially exceeding the cost, still is within its parameters. “It’s very hard to calculate the cost of education,” Shelton said. “We were sort of right on that figure for out-of-state students Oast year).” Officials said that while UNC is not an anomaly among its peer institutions in terms of the disparity between resident and nonresident tuition, the dominant philosophy in North Carolina is to keep in-state tuition as low as possible. During tuition discussions last year, members of the University’s governing board adopted a philoso phy to keep in-state tuition levels at the bottom quartile of prices at TRACK FROM PAGE 1 said. “My practices were going well, and I felt good physically.” Although sophomore Nick Owens was unable to reclaim his 2004 championship in the weight throw, he placed second with a throw of 65-4 and hit a NCAA provisional qualifying mark. Senior Erin Donohue carried the UNC women, running in five races in just two days. On the final day, Donohue placed second in the mile with an NCAA provisional time of 4 min utes and 42.04 seconds. Less than two hours later, she won the 800- meter run with a time of 2:10.98. She ended her day with a crucial APPOINTMENTS FROM PAGE 1 year’s student government leaders. McDowell, a political science and business major, began working with the attorney general’s staff the first semester of his freshman year and has been serving the honor system in some capacity ever since. “As part of the honor system, you’re able to promote and preserve public peer institutions. Out-of state tuition, they said, could meet but not exceed the 75th percentile. This year’s elasticity study showed that both in-state and out-of-state tuition could rise without sacrificing the competitiveness of UNC. “Carolina is still a good value for out-of-state students, and for in-state, we could charge more and still be a good value,” said Jerry Lucido, vice provost for enroll ment management. Among UNC’s competitors, only two universities the University of Florida and the University of Texas had lower nonresident tuition. Shelton said that this year, those universities raised the price of nonresident tuition by 28 per cent and 15 percent, respectively. The imbalance between the two price sets is not exclusive to UNC. At the University of Virginia, out of-state students pay about $16,000 more than their in-state counter parts. Nonresidents at UNC now seventh place in the 3,000. The points she earned in her last event saved UNC from a second place tie with Georgia Tech. “Erin Donohue was the hero of the meet for us,” Craddock said. “To line up and do all the things that she did ... she didn’t have to go back and run the 3,000, but she wanted to do it for the team.” Senior Laura Gerraughty won the ACC weight throw for the third consecutive time. Her personal best throw of 70-3 3/4 set an ACC record by almost two feet. “If I keep improving the way I have, I might be able to make top 3 (at NCAAs),” Gerraughty said. “But if I scored I’d be ecstatic.” Three other UNC women also earned either provisional or honesty and integrity on campus,” he said. “This motivated me back then, and it still motivates me now.” McDowell was interviewed by a six-person committee, including Student Attorney General Carolina Chavez and Dave Gilbert, faculty adviser to the judicial branch. “Matt’s been a valuable asset to our team,” Chavez said. “I knew Matt would rise to the occasion.” McDowell said he plans to improve the policies and procedures of die honor system next year and to continue discussions about finding stable funding for the system. He also plans to educate the stu dent body about the inner workings of the honor system. “I think every one should be in the loop in terms SHjr iatly (Ear Hrri pay $13,000 more than residents. Student Body President Matt Calabria said that while he is con cerned that out-of-state students pay more than the estimated cost of education, the real issue lies in the growing gap between in-state and out-of-state tuition. Lucido said the question of UNC’s status as a “good deal” depends less on statistics than on individual deci sions. Students and families, he said, decide what is affordable to them, independent of public policy. Shelton also said the degree to which UNC is a bargain depends on the costs of its peer institutions. “There are a lot of things in life you’d say are a bargain, then you have to take a value judgment,” he said. “That’s different for every student. “Everyone agrees in-state stu dents would pay less, but how much less? There’s no answer to that.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. automatic qualifying marks to extend their indoor season. Senior Lindsay Bond and junior Carol Henry both met the provisional marks in the 60-meter hurdles and the 5,000, respectively. Junior Sheena Gordon was runner-up in the high jump with an automatic qualifying jump of 6-11/2. With four automatic quali fiers Gerraughty and Gowda qualified earlier this season, and Donohue has qualified in the long jump —and four other pro visional qualifiers, UNC looks to be well represented at the NCAA Championships on March 11 and 12 in Fayetteville, Ark.

Calabria also announced his appointment of junior John Deans as Honor Court chairman and junior Shelly Schaaf as honor sys tem outreach coordinator. Schaaf is studying abroad and couldn’t be reached for comment. Deans has been on the court since his freshman year. He said he plans to concentrate on expanding recent changes to the Honor Court. “There’s a saying in basketball that says the little things are very important to building success,” he said. “My goal next year is to improve on these little things.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
