New development meets mixed reviews
Sustainability focus drives up prices
BY SARAH FRIER
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
It's a clash between a historically
black community with a 100-year
history and a 10-story sustainable
development that hopes to push it
into the future.
And students in the United with
the Northside Community NOW
group sided with the community at
their first meeting Wednesday.
"All of the development was com
ing in so fast and residents tjelt very
manipulated and left out of this pro
cess," said senior Hudson Vaughan,
who volunteered in Northside
through a communications class.
The new group wants to host
discussions about the development
to raise student awareness.

oral history interviews with resi
dents, described a nostalgia about
the community and a history of
loss through development.
“Inevitability —that's the kind
of sinking weight about all of this
when w e talk to people," he said. “We
shouldn't accept that history 's inevi
table or that anything's inevitable."
But tireenbridge Developments
already has broken ground for its
mixed-use development at the site
along Rosemary Street.
Some students who attended
said they'd only heard good things
about tireenbridge.
The building will be 30 percent
more efficient than most built today,
said Frank Phoenix, a tireenbridge
Developments partner who attend
ed Wednesday's meeting. It will use
recycled rainwater, lighting by day
light, green roofs and solar panels.
Phoenix said that both perspec
tives on the issue are valid, and that
Greenbridge hasn't thought up any
solid answers to the conflict.
“There is a cookbook for build
ing green," Phoenix said. “There is
no cookbook that says how to deal
with the social equity aspects of
development."
Residents' property taxes have
risen since development plans
were finalized. Stephens said. He
worries that many will stop being
able to afford their homes.
“People who might well be in
debt can’t afford lawyers that will
tell them how much their homes
are worth," Stephens said.
Of the .98 residential units in the
development, 15 will be available for
low-income housing, Phoenix said.

“I think it's fair because they did
help with the event and I know it is
very hard to put something like this
together," senior Janel Joyner said.
But others were more cautious
to approv e of the reserved seats.
“If I knew they were only getting
tickets because they were in Congress
I would be upset but if they are get
ting these tickets because they genu
inely helped out with the event that
is fine." senior Laura Askins said. “I
think for the majority of events most
organizers get priority seating."
Members of CUAB said receiv
ing tickets allows members to sup
port each other. “When we have
events for CUAB we give tickets to
all the board members so they can
come out and support each others
committee," said Marie Monroe,
performing arts chairwoman.
But for Spring Fest. CUAB drew
names to determine who would go.
leaving the majority of the seats for
true Boyz II Men fans, she said.
Marshall said it is necessary to
reserve tickets to secure Spring Fest s
future.
“We want to stress continued
financial support for Spring Fest in
the future, so giving tickets to gniups
like Parents Council and Student
Affairs will ensure their attendance
and will encourage them to support
the event in the ftiture." she said.

UNC NOW members said part
of their mission would be estab
lishing a comfortable relationship
with the Northside community.
Students who live in the neigh
borhood don't understand its his
tory. while some residents feel
as though they've been invaded,
Stephens said.
"This university is being blamed
in many ways for the harm done
to the community," said commu
nications professor Della Pollock,
whose class sent many of the
founding members of UNC NOW
into the neighborhood last year.
“Our students started by
forming a partnership with the
Northside community."

istrators who left the University in
the interim between Hooker and
Moeser.
“Michael (Hooker) was the one
who recruited me." Ramsey said.
"When he died, I wasn't sure what
the next leader at UNC would be
like."
“I was a little concerned at the
time that the next leader might not
have the vision Michael had."
He added that people tend to
leave around the time of a chan
cellor change because of personal
reasons, most often unrelated to
the next leader.
“It's just a good time to do some
thing else." he said.
But Hershey said turnover is not
typical, and he noticed much less
when Hardin and Hooker were
named chancellor.
There are a few instances when
anew chancellor has felt a sitting
administrator didn't fit his vision,
but its rare, said Ned Brooks, for
mer associate vice chancellor for
health affairs.
Chancellors sometimes bring
in new administrators to steer the
campus in anew direction.
“Its not at all unusual for some
one to bring'people they have
worked with in the past." Hershey
said.
There are nine vice chancellor
positions at UNC. and none has
shown to be more vulnerable to
change than the others.

H. GARLAND HERSHEY, FORMER VICE PROVOST
The position that has turned
over most frequently in the past
has been the provost, as they often
are recruited away to lead other
universities.
Provost Dennis O’Connor was
recruited to be chancellor of the
University of Pittsburgh in 1991.
The University of Washington
hired Provost Richard McCormick
in 1995.
Most recently, Provost Robert
Shelton was hired as the presi
dent of the University of Arizona
in 2006.
But these turnovers have been
unrelated to new chancellors.
So should vice chancellors be
worried about their jobs? Brooks
says no.
“If people are doing a good job,
they’re probably not nervous," he
said.
Several major projects are also
under way that could ensure job
security for several executives,
including the technology initia
tives brought by the Enterprise
Resource Planning program and
the development of Carolina
North, UNC’s satellite research
campus.

space on campus. According to a
study by Paulien and Associates, a
firm that specializes in higher educa
tion planning, UNC needs almost 1.4
million assignable square feet more
to bring each school and college to a
competitive level.
“Certainly in the Master Plan we
were aware that some schools need
l'd additional space," said Jonathan
Howes, who had a lead role in defin
ing UNCs Master Plan.
“Finding space for more activities
in a relatively confined space is really
critical." Howes said, pointing to the
School of Information and Library
Science.
But no proposal for a bond pack
age has come forward at the UNC
Board of Governors level, where
such a bond would start. If a pro
posal were suggested there, it would
then go to the state legislature, after
which it might need to be approved
by a statewide referendum.
The 2000 bond passed with
more than 73 percent of the vote.
Repair & renovation issues
While the bond has been a huge
success in terms of the buildings it
has erected on campus, these struc
tures imply a future cost of upkeep
and renovation that becomes nec
essary as structures age.
“It’s not dealt with adequately in
the state budget," Fulton said, add
ing that the state legislature provides
repair funds. “There’s a huge backlog
of R and R that’s on our campus right
now that needs to be dealt with."
The bond dedicates 49 percent
to repairs and renovation, 17 per
cent to renovate and upgrade utili
ties infrastructure and 34 percent
to new construction.
The repair efforts ensure campus
buildings keep up with modem safe
ty standards and include upgrades
such as HVAC, asbestos abatement
and utilities maintenance. Because
these renovations arc funded by the
state, they are subject to consistent
shortfalls as state legislators struggle
to balance the entire state’s budget
“It’s a struggle for almost
every single college or university,"
Runberg said. “Typically there’s not
enough money to go into your capi
tal programs and into your annual
repair and renovation programs."
He said that to maintain the cur
rent backlog of repair and renovation
projects —a deficit that has grown
from S2OO million in 2000 to SSOO
million in 2008 UNC needs to
receive about S3O million per year.
UNC received $13.6 million for
2007-08.
State requests can force UNC
into a balancing act, as resources
allocated to one area, such as repairs
and renovations, can cause funding
shortages in others, such as study
abroad or the Graduate School.
“It's admittedly not enough to go
around," Allred said. “It’s not very
appealing a way to allocate funds
as it is when you build a brand new
shiny building."
While new buildings might
be appealing, they represent a
substantial hidden cost to the
University as they get older.
“Unless we continue to put the
right amount of funding into the
annual R and R, we’re working
our way back into a predicament,"
Runberg said.
