UNC System schools receive guidance on equality policy

RALEIGH — All 17 UNC System Schools have received legal guidance on implementing a new equality policy adopted by the UNC Board of Governors on May 23. The policy replaced the system’s diversity, equity and inclusion policy that was previously in Section 300.8.5 of the UNC Policy Manual.

The new guidance emphasizes the need to balance institutional neutrality with academic freedom, student support and the university’s core mission.
