System officials refining budget flexibility plan
By Ashley Fogle
Assistant University Editor
The Board of Governors and admin
istrators of UNC-system schools are
trying to iron out potential problems of
a plan designed to allow some universi
ties greater flexibility in managing their
budgets.
The N.C. General Assembly passed
a bill in July allowing each university
more discretion in spending its quar
terly allotments. The General Assem
bly now specifies how the money may
be spent.
Under the bill, system schools inter
ested in the management flexibility may
apply for designation as "special re

sponsibility institutions" by the BOG.
Board members would decide which
schools would be allowed more control
over their allotments.
BOG Vice Chairman Travis Porter
said administrators at some schools had
expressed concerns about parts of the
legislation.
Ben Tuchi, UNC-CH vice chancel
lor for business and finance, said he did
not know whether the, legislation would
pose a problem for the University.
"There is language that was inserted
into the bill that (says) in order to be
considered for the special designation,
institutions have to revert a certain sum
of money back to the General Assem
bly," he said. "We're asking the Board
3rt
in Pennsylvania.
The searches for both positions will
b? nationwide. Little said. The commit
tees have not-made any recommenda
tions, and it is not known how soon the
positions will be filled, he said.
"Generally, deanships can be
achieved in a year," he said. "Some
times it takes longer, but there is every
reason to think that it is possible."
Little, a chemistry professor, will
serve as interim provost and vice chan
cellor for academic affairs until a re
placement is named. He will not be
involved in the search process, he said.
Stephen Birdsall, an associate dean,
has been named interim dean of the
General College and of the College of
Arts and Sciences.

of Governors to consider us as a special
institution, but we don't know what the
reversion requirement will be."
The Office of State Budget and Man
agement will calculate the percentage
that universities will be required to re
linquish, he said.
Jay Robinson, UNC-system vice
president forpublic affairs, said all state
agencies have traditionally been ex
pected to return to the state treasury any
money not spent during the year.
"The state has traditionally reclaimed
money that reverts at the end of the year,
but under the new policy (universities)
could potentially spend every dime," he
said. "Under the reversion plan, univer
sities have to give back as much as they

Birdsall said he expected to be in the
interim position for one year, during
which time he will assume all of the
responsibilities of the dean's office. 4
"The title 'acting' is perceived to be
almost like I'm pretending," he said.
"But my responsibilities are exactly as
though I were in a five-year term."
Birdsall served as acting dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences once be
fore, from 1984 to 1985. That transition
went smoothly, and he expects the same
when the new dean is named next year,
he said.
Little said his interim position has
been a challenging one.
"It's a bit like an express train that
didn't stop at the platform," he said.
"There are activities that have started in

have reverted over previous years."
The budget office is expected to have
the percentages calculated by the end of
the month, Robinson said. System
schools don't want to participate in the
program without knowing what h will
cost them, he said.
The bill calls for reversions equal to
the average amount each school gave
back in the last five years, Robinson
said. Schools will not be penalized for
the unusually large amounts returned
recently because of budget cuts.
Tuchi said he also was concerned
that the reversions would be coupled
with large state budget cuts.
"In 1988 we had $10.5 million in
reversions and no budget cuts," he said.
Case against speaker!
still tied up in court
By Steve Politi
Assistant Unlrasity Editor
The Student Supreme Court has not
ruled on a case concerning Student
Congress Speaker Tim Moore's appoint
ment of 1 1 representatives to the Stu
dent Summer Congress.
Congress members Andrew Cohen,
Dist. 6, and Michael Kolb, Dist. 1 , filed
a suit in May challenging the legality of
the summer congress appointments.
Mark Bibbs, Student Supreme Court
Chief Justice, said the case was not
decided during the summer because not
enough justices were on campus. Bibbs
issued a restraining order closing sum
mer congress until enough justices could
be present to rule on the case.
"Now that there are a sufficient num
ber of justices, we will be able to resolve
this case in a short amount of time,"
Bibbs said.
Moore said now that summer ses
sions were over, the case was no longer
important.
"The whole court case is rather moot
at this point," Moore said. "At the end
of the second summer session there
would be no more summer congress
anyway."
But Cohen said the court's decision
midstream, and I'm having to catch
up."
The positions of associate vice chan
cellor for development and associate
vice chancellor for University relations
are also open.
Robert Sweeney left to become vice
chancellor for development at the Uni
versity of Virginia, and William Massey
left to become vice president of Ruder
Finn Co., a public-relations firm.
Committees are looking for candi
dates to fill these positions, Little said.
Three adm inistrators have announced
their retirement, effective at the end of
this academic year.
Paul Rizzo, dean of the Kenan-Flagler
School of Business, will leave at the end
of his five-year term. Rizzo has been

"This year we've already had more thaiT

Tuchi said the University did not
have a specific recommended figure in
mind for the reversion percentage. "It-'
will probably be negotiated, but it will
definitely be a couple of percentage:
points," he said.
Despite the potential problems, the.'
legislation represents a step forward for
the universities, Tuchi said.
Robinson said he expected most of'
the universities in the system to apply
for consideration. '
Porter said he was unsure when the
flexibility plan would go into effect. "It
is my thought that we would go to work! 1

"What the court decides is going tot
be very important just perhaps not as
important as it could have been," he
said. ;-
The court's decision will have an
impact on the future of student congress
and will clear up the legality of appoint
ing representatives, Cohen said.
The student government code doe&
not clearly address the issue of summer
appointments. ',
Moore said the delay was partially'
caused by Student Body President Matt
Heyd's failure to appoint new justices!
to the Supreme Court. '
Heyd said presidents had customary
ily waited until fall to name new jus-;
tices. "That's what's been done in the?
past. There's never been a summer su-J
