Black enrollment is up 5 across entire UNC system By KYLE MARSHALL State and National Editor More black students are attending the predominantly white institutions in the UNC system, the UNC Board of Gover nors was told at its regular monthly meeting Friday. Estimates of 1983-84 enrollment show a 5 percent increase in the number of black students across the 16-campus system, said Raymond H. Dawson, UNC vice presi dent for academic affairs. Total black enrollment across the system has increased by l.Ostudents to 22,906. At the 11 predominantly white cam puses, the number of blacks has increased from 8,129 to 8,430, Dawson said. Blacks now comprise about 8.1 percent of the students at those 11 schools, up from last year's 7.8 percent. At the system's five predominantly black schools, white enrollment is up by more than 12 percent, Dawson said. UNC is required to increase blacV enrollment at the white campuses to io.6 percent by the 1986-87 school year. Li addition, white enrollment at the black in stitutions must reach 15 percent by then. Both requirements are part of the 1981 consent decree signed by UNC and the U.S. Department of Education. UNC officials were concerned with black enrollment because of a decline in the percentage of black students last year. The decline came about last year because of a. decrease in the amount of federal financial aid for students, said Trudy Atkins, assistant to UNC President William C. Friday. Total enrollment of full-time students at the 16 UNC campuses is now 104,655, ac cording to the 1983-84 estimates. Five schools are ahead of projected enrollment ranges and nine are within their projection ranges. UNC-Chapel Hill enrollment is estimated at 20,675, within its projected range of 20,250 to 21 ,080. In other business at Friday's BOG meet ing, President Friday said the board's policy on outside consulting work done by professors was not being followed proper ly. "There are indications of weaknesses and defects in the administration of the policy," Friday said. "These must be cor rected." Friday said he would review the consulting-work policy, determine whether any changes or additions in the policy should be made and report his findings to the board in February. Monday, jjovemper 14, 1983The Daily Tar Heel3 Wallace says progress in hiring minorities to faculty not good enough By STEVE FERGUSON Staff Writer UNC has made some improvements in recruiting women and blacks to the faculty, but still more progress must be made, according to Harold Wallace, acting affirmative action of ficer and vice-chancellor for university affairs. Wallace spoke Friday at the last of a series of Friday Forum lectures spon sored by the Chaplain's Association. "We now have in our faculty the largest number of blacks and females ever," Wallace said. There are 53 black and 276 female faculty members on tenure track, he said. "We have made progress, but it is not good enough." Wallace said the University's goal had been to have 83 blacks and 335 " females on tenure track by September 1983. "We have not been in the best posture for recruiting," he said, "ex cept in basketball." The University has a tremendously loyal faculty, but some faculty members, might consider going elsewhere if they were offered higher salaries, he said, i " I'm not saying it's causing them to jump ship, but at the same time, you can't take loyalty to the A&P store,"' Wallace said. Other states face a similar money crunch and we have to convince pro spective faculty recruits that they can come here and have a normal standard of living, he said. "A lot of our young faculty can't afford to buy homes," Wallace said. Often, those who can are forced to look outside Chapel Hill for housing they can afford. Faculty members lose a sense of community due to this dispersion, he said. An ideal program would be one that would provide housing subsidies for faculty members, Wallace suggested, but the money is not there. . Chancellor Christopher C. For dham III is committed to affirmative action, Wallace said, adding that For dham brings the subject up often in trustee meetings and meetings of the Board of Governors. We also have a faculty and staff committed to affir mative action, he said. It's an important matter on this, campus, but it may not be so at other universities. "The closer you get to Washington, the less you'll probably hear about it," Wallace said. He said his office is committed to increasing the number of women and blacks among the faculty and added that the future looks bright for UNC. "We don't want to be satisfied with what we have, but we do want to say we're doing pretty good now." Wallace said UNC is doing a good job in comparison to other univer sities; the University of North Carolina has always set its own stan dards. The Friday Forum lectures will begin again next fall. Students are urg ed to submit issues that concern them to the University Chaplain's Association.
