2 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2005 UNC seeks ideal funding choices BY LINDSAY MICHEL ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR A round table of UNC s academ ic and administrative leaders took a small, but definitive step Tuesday to begin its job of safeguarding the University and its ideals. The Task Force to Develop Guidelines on Donations and Curriculum Development —a group charged with creating guidelines for UNC on accepting private endowment funding is composed of representatives from across the University. “What I’d like to see this group develop are guidelines, principles and possibly policy changes for accepting gifts that have an impact on the University curriculums,” said Provost Robert Shelton, who serves as a co-chairman of the task force. ■ The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce and the Carolina Center for Public Service will host the Chamber Volunteer Fair today from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Pit.

'W- # “These discussions are helping us narrow down and get a sense of where we’re going.” The task force’s inception was sparked by a controversy last year surrounding a $26 million dona tion from the John William Pope Foundation to fund a Studies in Western Culture program. Members of the University community were concerned that academic freedom might be lost if the conservative think tank had too great a role in establishing the details of the curriculum. The task force began its meeting with a recount of last year’s Pope Center controversy, sparking a cri tique among members of how the University dealt with the situation. “That was the problem the fact that it wasn’t transparent to the other COMMUNITY CALENDAR Company will host a sneak preview and discussion of its opening show, “The Front Page,” at noon today in the Paul Green Theatre. ■ The University Day Committee will meet at 1 p.m. today in South Building 105 to finalize plans for the Oct. 12 event. ■ Alpha Delta Pi will host a faculty (members),” said Sue Estroff, professor of social medicine. This led many nervous UNC community members last year to jump to conclusions and point fin gers, she said. But, Estroff said, it is important for the committee to move forward and clarify guidelines so future deci sions can be made more easily. “I don’t want to see us stub our toes and get stuck on this issue,” she said. To jump-start this progress, members will begin drafting guidelines and outlining structural options for different departments to individually decide what funds to accept. The University’s current policies governing gifts, contributions and solicitations easily could be modified scoop night from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. today at Ben & Jerry's. Proceeds will go to the American Red Cross to benefit hurricanes Katrina and Rita victims. ■ The Diaspora Festival of Black and Independent Films opens at 7:30 p.m. today in the Sonja Haynes Stone Center Theatre with the screening of “Boricua” SIGN UP TODAY TAX SCHOOL!

Although the task force could decide to offer each school and department the duty of deciding how it will make decisions regard ing endowments, Shelton said it would be beneficial to develop University-wide rules. “I think there was a real transi tion that occurred,” he said of the meeting. “That is we’ve moved from focusing on one case, with the Pope foundation, to a more elevated outlook that will apply to everyone.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. by Marisol Torres.
