We applaud the recommendation from Chancellor Folt and UNC-Chapel Hill’s Board of Trustees
regarding the disposition and preservation of the Confederate Monument.
However, the UNC Board of Governors cannot support the current recommendation, given the concerns
about public safety and the use of state funds for a new building or the proposal to expend $5.3 million,
as cited in UNC-Chapel Hill’s report entitled Recommendation for the Disposition and Preservation of the
Confederate Monument.
Therefore, I am asking the following Board members -- Darrell Allison, Jim Holmes, Wendy Murphy,
Anna Nelson, Bob Rucho -- to work in conjunction with Chancellor Folt and the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of
Trustees to review the options set forth in the report and offer a revised recommendation to the UNC
Board of Governors by Friday, March 15, 2019.
