UNC rates high in number of black facility
By LORI R. NICKEL
Tr Hee! Staff Writer
UNC compares favorably with
other universities in terms of its
number of black faculty
members, according to Vice
Chancellor of Student Affairs
Harold Wallace.
"Chapel Hill is among the
leaders of universities such as the
University of Virginia, Harvard
and Yale," Wallace said.
UNC may even have more
blacks on the faculty, "but we still
want to improve," he said.
The Affirmative Action Com
mittee is bringing about positive
results on the campus, although
black faculty members do still
face some problems, Wallace
said.
Because minorities are fewer in
number, blacks are asked to serve
on many different committees, he
said.
"My advice to new black
faculty members is to try not to
get on too many committees," he
said. The first years should be
devoted to teaching and research
first and community service after
that, he added.
The Committee on the Status
of Black Faculty reported this
April that the amount of time
black faculty members spend on
committee work should receive
more attention when promotion
and tenure decisions are made.
These decisions are usually
based on research and teacher
evaluations, Wallace said.
The committee said minorities
should be rewarded more for the
time they spend on the commit
tees, because they are asked to
serve more time than white
faculty members.
It was suggested that UNC try
to place the minority members on
committees that have direct
importance to them.
As acting Affirmative Action
Officer, Wallace has set up an
exitinterview program to
"improve the faculty and staff of
the University," including blacks
as well as whites.
When he is made aware of a
faculty member who is leaving
UNC, he sends a questionnaire
to them and asks if they want an
"exit interview," Wallace said.
"The exit interview has three
main goals," he said. "We want
to get a notion of their experien
ces at UNC and their living area,
such as Raleigh, Durham or
Chapel Hill. We also try to find
out what could have been done
to enhance their work here and,
third, we want to know why they
are leaving."
If thjs information can be
obtained, it can be passed on to
the department chairman and
used to improve the faculty at
UNC, Wallace added.
