General Counsels: Good afternoon. I am sending to each of you the attached UNC System Office Guidance Regarding Compelled Speech Policy Implementation bearing today's date. I am formally transmitting this to you as guidance attributable to the System Office generally and the Division of Legal Affairs specifically.
I trust you will find this valuable as your campus continues to implement the Board of Governors' Compelled Speech Policy. Please distribute as you see fit.
Please note that I am not sending directly to your Chancellors out of deference to each of you. I ask that you do that promptly or at least make your chancellor aware that this guidance has been transmitted.
By copy, I ask Norma Houston to share this with the Chiefs of Staff. My sense is to defer to you, your Chief, and your Chancellor on how best to more widely distribute this guidance on your campus.
Thanks to those of you who gave helpful feedback on this guidance. I've implemented most of it. While the guidance speaks for itself, I look forward in the coming days to responding to your specific inquiries directed to me.
I hope you all are able to have a nice and relaxing weekend. And that all shall remain quiet at the Archdale Virtual Office. At this hour, with due deference to my alma mater of the Light Blue, I will now do all I can do to help the Red and White pull through.
Regards,
Andrew Tripp
