The UNC System Office has recently called for a close look at administrative and compliance issues across the system that may be happening at individual institutions.

This survey is an attempt to collect information from faculty, staff, and administrator stakeholders about these areas and possible solutions. No personal information will be collected or shared. Please take a minute to respond so that our collective experience and wisdom is captured in the data.

In the April 2025 Board of Governors meeting, President Hans said, “If there are policies that need changing, let’s change them. If there are regulations that need reform, let’s reform them. If there are compliance regimes that have outlived their usefulness, let’s retire them. Federal requirements alone are estimated to add 10 percent to the overall cost of higher education. And let’s be mindful of how System-level directives add to this load as well.”
