shf Sailii <Tar Hrrl CHANCELLOR FROM PAGE 1 of conflict when anew president is introduced into a system, potentially stepping on the toes of chancellors. ‘Professionals disagree all the time," Stevens said. “When it’s pri vate,. that’s fine. When it becomes public, then someone is going to lose." This was the case at Louisiana State University, where the intro duction of anew system president led to the chancellor's resignation. Sean O’Keefe, who resigned as chancellor Feb. 1, cited disagree ments with the system's leadership as a reason for his resignation. O’Keefe had been chancellor for a year and a half, implement ing his own agenda approved by the system's Board of Supervisors, when John Lombardi became the system’s new president in 2007- In addition to a changing presi dency, the Board of Supervisors, which is equivalent to the UNC system’s Board of Governors, had changed 10 of its 16 members. O’Keefe said the new leadership wished to take the university in a different direction than he was hired for. “There is anew president, new board members and new leader ship," he said. “They have different ideas for the system, and it’s better for them to get somebody who can deliver them with a straight face." He said the reason he was hired to implement his “flagship agen da" was no longer supported, so he decided to step down. O’Keefe said that it is ultimately the president's system and that a chancellor is responsible to that. “If it doesn’t suit what you think is the right direction at the time, you have to make the choice to get out of the way," he said. A similar situation took place at the University of Tennessee- Knoxville when Loren Crabtree resigned as chancellor, citing “dif fering philosophies in the area of governance’ with system president John Ptetersen as a reason for resig nation. When Bowles was hired in 2006. Stevens said he did not see any kind of conflict with Chancellor James Moeser. “They seemed to work together immediately," he said. “I think both understood the relationship between the two very well." Conflict is less likely to emerge when the president is already in place and anew chancellor is hired, which will be the case of UNC-CH’s next Carolina’s our 12* Ahhukl AluXrds Issue -- cUseh YOU, tk readers / s \ of tke DTH.

Rand said that while the personality in South Building will change, there will be little change in the professional relationship. “Different ideas may be dis cussed, but there will be signifi cant similarity in the way things are done." he said. One reason, Stevens said, is that UNC-CH is the system’s flagship and also where Bowles is based. “The fact that he's at the flag ship, that he has more exposure to campus and he's able to see the day in and day out of what’s occurring at Chapel Hill is going to make for a strong relationship," he said. Another reason the relationship will be strong, Stevens said, is that Bowles will recommend the final candidate. “It’s going to be his choice," Stevens said. That alone is going to make for a different relationship." He said Bowies is likely to pick someone he is going to work well with, someone he will look at as a “teammate." “It should be a pretty strong relationship." Stevens said. “Bowies is going to be highly confident in who he selects."

But Woodall said the prosecu tion would have challenged his story, saying the killings had hap pened the night before because alcohol was found in the bladder of his father, whose doctor had told him to drink wine. And while the bat was found upstairs, clean, a report card in the downstairs kitchen had the father's blood on it, Woodall said. Shotgun pellets near the kitchen show that Sapikowski shot at his mother once and chased her to the bathroom, where he shot her in the head, killing her, Woodall said. Sapikowski's mother was shot twice. His father was shot several times in the head and neck. All of the shots were fired by a single-shot .410-gauge shotgun. Woodall said. The crime was found when police tried to check on the Sapikowskis. who hadn't been heard from. “There was a very bad odor in the house." Woodall said. Police later found shotgun shells on the floor throughout the house and the parents' bodies in the mas ter bedroom suite, wrapped in lin ens. Woodall said. Judge Carl Fox told Sapikowski that he would eventually be released from prison and that he should try to come to terms with what he has done and turn his life around. “At some point, you will miss your parents," he said.

DROPOUT RATES FROM PAGE 1 himself, praised online courses for engaging students. “That's the way these kids think," he said. “If they could get a haircut online, they’d do it’ Another innovation Easley has proposed is the creation of four separate tiers of college degrees, one for each year completed. “We’re talking about people who can’t think four years in advance." Easley said. Terri Mozingo, chief academic officer for Durham Public Schools, said the idea has potential. “There’s something tangible, concrete at the end of each year ... that may motivate some students along the way." But Stephanie Knott, assistant superintendent for community relations in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, said the concept needs to be thought out more before it could be effectively implemented. “Right now those labels are kind of meaningless to me," she said, adding that the system must make clear what each degree might pre pare students for in the work force. There would have to be some thing employable attached to them." Easley also focused on needing specificity at Wednesdays meeting. “We have to demand focus and discipline of ourselves and stay focused on things we know we can accomplish." he told the group. But what came out of the meet ing was less concrete action than a proposal to create a plan of action. The group resolved to create realworld 3jgjjj|H 2 continents, 2 degrees, ljear A graduate program designed especially for engineering, science, and tech students looking for a global perspective.

If they could get a haircut online, they'd do it." MIKE EASLEY, GOVERNOR two task forces, one to assess the effectiveness of state-funded edu cational programs in the next three months and one to examine the systems’ schools of education in the next six months. The group also promised to gen erate two additional reports, one assessing the Learn and Earn pro gram and one evaluating the feasibil ity of creating a joint data system to share information across all levels. Sharing data among university, community' college and PreK-12 systems is a primary goal for UNC system President Erskine Bowles. Bowles, who has sought to re examine the system’s schools of education for the past two years, wants such a system in part to track the success of these schools in training teachers in light of how the teachers' eventual students pier form on state tests. Both repxjrts should be done by May, in advance of the next N.C. General Assembly session. Jim Phillips, chairman of the UNC system Board of Governors, said the goal is to target the legislature to create repiorts that have the potential of generating action.

Special acad emies and freshman seminars are part of the districts’ plan. “So many people are working to get around to one goal." said Stephanie Knott, district spokes woman for the city schools. Almost one-third of dropouts leave high school during their freshman year, according to the DPI report, and Knott and Gilbert said both districts focus efforts there. Phoenix Academy is a specific way CHCCS has targeted students who are in need of a nontraditional learning environment, offering sec ond-chance programs and reme dial help. “The goal is to get them ready to go back to their high schools," George said, adding that the acad emy focuses on “disenfranchised" students who might otherwise fall through the cracks. The biggest thing is how small we are," George said. “Some stu dents just work better in a smaller environment, so our classes are smaller." The academy has 30 students and keeps each class to a maxi mum of eight students in which counselors can pay spiecial atten tion to students. “School counselors try to put in place certain safety nets for them," George said. ‘Every time you lose a kid you feel it’ Contact the City Editor at citydesk@ unc.edu. 5
