BOG & Title IX Update Calls Next Week (Same Call Held Twice for Scheduling Ease...)
by Andrew T Tripp 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

Top Lawyers: Greetings after a busy week at the School of the Arts. I'd like for each of you to join me in a conference call next week. These are calls are optional-they are designed for your benefit. To aid in scheduling our 18-person group, I'm going to offer the same call twice. You need not join both calls, but you are welcome to do so. The goal of these calls is general familiarization with BOG Governance action from this week and next steps along with taking stock on the Title IX regulations that have been published in recent days if not hours. I'm proposing Monday, April 22 at 3 PM EDT and Wednesday, April 24 at 11 AM EDT. Thus, a matinee and a morning show. By copy I am asking my colleague Ruth Brill to send around virtual meeting invites at the appointed times. Please note that this will be the first of many calls I expect, so at this time I am asking that only campus GCs attend. There'll be time to read in deputies during additional calls. Thank you and have a good weekend! Andrew Tripp

by Andrew T Tripp 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Senior Lawyers: I’m writing on two fronts related to this request for comment that went out on Friday to your chancellors. First, be advised of this request that went to your chancellors on Friday regarding Regs in Section 300 following “Festivus”. Second, some time ago I noted that we are working on improving how our messages to campus senior teams are transmitted and by whom. Good news and bad news on that front: first, we are underway on developing something called a “Senior Team +” List that we’ll be rolling out soon likely from President Hans’ Office. We aim to standardize who sends what, to whom, and when. Our tech team is on the case. The bad news is it’s not a thing until it’s done, and we’re not yet done on the technical piece. In the meantime, please be aware of this note from Michael Vollmer that I’m sharing the old-fashioned way. Andrew Tripp From: J.

FW: IR Follow Up - Collecting race information on admissions applications
by Andrew T Tripp 16 Oct '23

16 Oct '23

Senior Lawyers: I'm sharing a note that Diane Marian in our office sent out to the Institutional Research list serve earlier today. You'll see that these comments track our August 2023 Directives. I am writing to each of you for your awareness. Thank you. Andrew Tripp From: Diane E. Marian <demarian(a)northcarolina.edu> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2023 2:48 PM To: 'unc-ir(a)lists.northcarolina.edu' <unc-ir(a)lists.northcarolina.edu> Cc: Andrew T Tripp <attripp(a)northcarolina.edu>; Michael R. Delafield <mrdelafield(a)northcarolina.edu> Subject: IR Follow Up - Collecting race information on admissions applications Hi Everyone, I appreciated the robust discussion we had on the system-wide IR call last Tuesday about collecting race/ethnicity information on applications. I've conferred with our Division of Legal Affairs and I wanted to share some updates with you: * For the upcoming admissions cycle, meaning applications for entrance in 2024 terms, you must ensure that personnel reviewing applications and making admissions decisions do not have access to any race/ethnicity information about applicants. This advice was included in the August 2023 Directives<https://www.northcarolina.edu/wp-content/uploads/reports-and-documents/lega…> circulated by our Division of Legal Affairs. * In some cases it may be possible to remove the question from applications and avoid collecting the information entirely, but given the timing of the admissions cycle you may not be able to make a change to the admission application. If you cannot avoid collecting the information entirely as part of the admissions process, then access to the information must be restricted. Some have referred to this approach as "firewalling data". It is recommended that the restriction be implemented in such a way that you are able to demonstrate that those making admissions decisions don't have access to race/ethnicity information. * The ultimate goal is to remove the question from the admission application altogether so that no UNC System campuses are collecting race/ethnicity information at the application stage. * We understand that there may be variance across the System in interpretation of the directives and approaches to making changes to the admissions application process. You should work with your General Counsel to understand the approach at your institution. If you believe that you have identified any legal or compliance-related reasons why race/ethnicity data must be collected at the application stage, you are encouraged to discuss that with your General Counsel as well. And encourage him or her to feel free to reach out to our Division of Legal Affairs - many campuses are already doing this. * The Student Data Mart (SDM) team at the System Office is exploring options to make certain the SDM can accommodate applications without race/ethnicity data and still comply with federal reporting obligations as to enrollees. We will keep you updated on our progress and approach. Thank you for your attention to this important matter, Diane Diane E. Marian, PhD Vice President for Enterprise Data and Chief Data Officer The University of North Carolina System (919) 843-8613 | demarian(a)northcarolina.edu<mailto:demarian@northcarolina.edu> [cid:image002.jpg@01DA003E.8278D420]<https://www.northcarolina.edu/> www.northcarolina.edu<http://www.northcarolina.edu/> E-mails sent to or from this e-mail address that relate to public business are public records and may be subject to public access under the North Carolina public records law.

UNC System Office Directives Regarding Implementation of Students for Fair Admissions Decision
by Andrew T Tripp 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Senior Lawyers: Good afternoon from Raleigh. I am sending to each of you with a copy to Chief of Staff Norma Houston for distribution to the campus Chiefs of Staff a document entitled "UNC System Office Division of Legal Affairs Directives Regarding Implementation of Students for Fair Admissions Decision." Your chancellors were most recently briefed on this effort last week by President Hans. You and your campus should treat these directives as definitive guidance from our office for implementing the Supreme Court's recent decision. Please share as you see fit. In the coming days this document will be posted on our website near where our guidance exists related to the Compelled Speech Policy. Thanks to many of you who have provided feedback on this effort. I will be happy to discuss these directives with each of you as needed, in addition to any fact-intensive matters relevant to your individual campus. Thank you for your work on this important topic. Andrew Tripp
