Posted Jul 30, 2026
UNC AD Steve Newmark: "Any time we have allegations around a personnel matter, the duty of the university, as stewards of our students, faculty, and the UNC community, is to take seriously to evaluate what is an appropriate next step. We now have the office of the university counsel leading the investigation. We're going to let that process play out." (TarHeel247)
