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.

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.
