Officials balance multiple campus roles
BY ELIZABETH BEAVERS
STAFF WRITER
The pressure to fit many
activities into a schedule already
crammed full of classes and study
ing doesn’t end with high school
graduation. And it doesn’t end with
college graduation either.
UNC faculty members, as well
as students, struggle to juggle their
classroom responsibilities with
their outside activities.
Student Body President James
Allred said it’s important for faculty
to “step up to the plate” because their
leadership and involvement provides
a better quality of education.
He also said top positions mean
greater commitment.
“When they move to leadership,
they have to sacrifice things that
they love about their job,” he said.
“The reason they’re faculty in
the first place is because they love
teaching and they love the pursuit
of knowledge.”
Last week Mike Smith, dean of
the UNC School of Government,
also took up the position of vice
chancellor for engagement.
He said the key to holding mul
tiple positions is focus.
“It’s a balancing act, frankly,”
Smith said, noting that his two
positions overlap.
He said faculty members must
decide how to fill their schedules
but at the same time should follow
their passions and talents.
“That’s one of the benefits of a
large university,” said Smith, who
also served as chairman of the
search committee for the dean of
the School of Law —a task that

took more than a year.
He said faculty members can
use their classroom time to pursue
their passions, but they can also get
involved by taking on a leadership
position or joining a committee.
Joe Templeton also is no strang
er to campus involvement.
A professor for 30 years, he has
served on various committees and
leadership positions including
chairman of the department of
chemistry and the 2006 summer
reading selection committee.
He was appointed chairman of
the faculty last semester.
Templeton said he thinks all facul
ty are motivated to become involved
in anything that improves campus
life and the teaching experience.
“It’s always an honor to be asked
to take on other duties,” he said. “If
it matters to academic excellence,
faculty will line up.”
Templeton said he believes
involvement outside the classroom
helps professors use more relevant
information within the classroom.
“The distinction between teach
ing and learning is a really small
one, if it exists at all. If one hap
pens, the other happens.”
Margaret Jablonski also uses her
position as vice chancellor of stu
dent affairs to give first-year semi
nar students real-life examples of
their studies.
While students discuss affirma
tive action and hate speech in her
seminar titled “The American
University: Policy & Practice”
Jablonski said she is able to
tell students true stories that put
theory into practice.

“I find it very rewarding because
I get to see students in a classroom
and interact with those who are not
leaders or in some sort of trouble.”
She said it’s important for
senior officials to have classroom
experience.
“It helps inform our decisions
as administrators,” she said, noting
that meeting the demands of both
positions can be difficult.
Evelyne Huber, chairwoman of
the political science department,
said she often finds herself working
weekends in addition to long hours
during the traditional work week.
“I still have to do laundry and go
shopping,” she said, noting that vir
tually every weekend is dedicated
to her on-campus activities.
Huber has served as a member
of the tuition and fee advisory task
force, the executive committee of the
Faculty Council,, the search commit
tee for the new dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, as well as the
advisory board for study abroad.
“You have to be incredibly orga
nized,” Huber said. She estimates
she works 50- to 55-hour work
weeks. “Frankly, I like doing it.”
She said many faculty members
use dual positions to bring varying
perspectives to the table.
“Every full professor tends to
serve on a number of campus
wide committees,” she said. “The
University needs a constant supply
of people who are willing to put in
the necessary amount of hours to
make it flourish.”

Several University administrators do more than teach and research. They wear
many hats, balancing responsibilities and pursuing many causes possibly
through separate leadership positions or committees. Despite potentially
longer hours, they are making the conscious decision to take on a more
extensive workload because of what they call a passion for the success and improve
ment of the University. Here are four examples of administrators taking on extra.
