Chancellor Folt announces resignation, orders Confederate Monument pedestal to be removed intact

Posted Jan 14, 2019
You’ve heard me say many times that it is the privilege of my life to serve as chancellor of this great university. I’m deeply proud of what you’ve accomplished and what we’ve accomplished together since I became a Tar Heel nearly six years ago in 2013. I am writing today to let you know that I have decided to step down as chancellor following graduation, at the end of the academic year. (UNC.edu)
