An important date in UNC’s history
UNC Chapel Hill Chancellor's Blog25 Apr 2012 | 11:16 amIt was gratifying to hear President Obama talk on our own campus about college affordability, support for public universities and other subjects that are important to us. When the history of the university of the last few years is written, April 24, 2012 will be an important date.

Where Did Our Democracy Go?
CRDaily10 May 2012 | 8:38 pmHaving a democracy implies having a demos – a population making up a political entity whose will guides the direction of the state. Because Tuesday was the primary election in North Carolina where I am registered to vote, I thought I would reflect upon the state of democracy in this country. America is a republic, not a full-blown democracy. However, the democratic tradition in America has always been a source of national pride. In order to declare our democratic tradition upheld, I submit that two simple criteria must be met. First, the people (the demos) must have direct control…

Jim’s columns cover a wide range of business and financial topics, and his book (“The Wisdom of Crowds”) was downright clairvoyant when it comes to predicting a lot of what has happened with social media.

We’ve organized a series of programs and events at UNC to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence. Every person can make a difference when it comes to preventing sexual violence and creating a Carolina community that is supportive to survivors. Please join me by… -

Honoring a true breakthrough
20 Feb 2012 | 7:10 amThe recognition of Professor Mike Cohen’s study on AIDS prevention as the American Association for the Advancement of Science Breakthrough of the Year was a tremendous milestone for Carolina. Over the last decade or so, Carolina has emphasized the importance of our global and international efforts, and Mike’s work in Malawi is an integral part of the big breakthrough. Last year, Patti and I traveled with Mike to see the clinic in Lilongwe.

The Lie of Julia
4 May 2012 | 4:55 pmSo, the Obama campaign has just released a step by step account of how great the president’s policies are for a girl, from cradle to grave. There’s a problem though. This “Life of Julia” not only looks at Obama’s policies through rose-colored glasses, but it looks at them through rose-colored glasses while hallucinating. Let’s start at the beginning. The website claims that programs like Head Start will help Julia prepare for kindergarten. Well, first off, this is not Obama’s program. It was begun under President Johnson in 1964 and expanded in 1981 under President Carter. Now… -

Campus Y Facebook Page Also Not in Compliance With the Law
1 May 2012 | 8:40 pmTo be honest, this was the aspect of this advertising campaign that was the most interesting. The issue of the website was fairly cut and dry, but I was kind of curious to see how the university views Facebook pages. I received this email from UNC’s General Counsel: Dear Mr. Seelinger, I am writing in reference to your inquiry regarding the reference to Amendment One on the Campus Y’s Facebook page. Although the student committees in the Campus Y have a long-standing history of taking a stance on social justice issues, state law prohibits them from using University equipment,… -
Looks Like Campus Y Was Breaking the Law
1 May 2012 | 1:38 pmAfter I sent an inquiry (yesterday) over to UNC’s legal team regarding recent actions by the Campus Y, the Y’s website appears to have undergone a few cosmetic changes. Most notably, any reference to Amendment 1 has been scrubbed from the site. I’m still waiting on an official response from UNC’s General Counsel, but it looks like I knew what I was talking about after all. Anyone who accused me of being an awful human being/bigot/homophobe/liar for raising this issue can feel free to post an apology below. Filed under: Uncategorized
