Latest from State Board of Elections: Approval Process for University IDs to be Used as Voter IDs & Signal Re: Campus GCs Zoom Call Next Week...
by Andrew T Tripp 31 May '23

31 May '23

Campus GCs: Good afternoon. I am forwarding below an email from Lindsey Wakely, the Deputy General Counsel at the State Board of Elections. Her email pertains to Voter ID implementation at colleges and universities. My understanding is that in the 2019 effort, my office acted as a point of contact between the campuses and the State Board of Elections. I am glad to do so again at SBOE's request. For starters, please review the forwarded email and related attachments. Under the "No Surprises" Doctrine, be advised that Ruth Brill will be scheduling a phone call early next week to discuss this and an unrelated matter among all of us as the campus GCs, or their designees, and me. I'll also ask Mary Griffin Inscoe to join me because she will be working most closely on Voter ID implementation. Please make every effort to have you or your designee attend. Best regards to you all, Andrew Tripp From: Wakely, Lindsey <Lindsey.Wakely(a)ncsbe.gov> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2023 4:38 PM To: Andrew T Tripp <attripp(a)northcarolina.edu> Cc: Steele, Adam <adam.steele(a)ncsbe.gov> Subject: [External] Approval Process for University IDs to be Used as Voter IDs You don't often get email from lindsey.wakely(a)ncsbe.gov<mailto:lindsey.wakely@ncsbe.gov>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> [CAUTION: External email. Do not click links or open attachments unless verified. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to spam(a)northcarolina.edu<mailto:spam@northcarolina.edu>] Good afternoon Andrew, Thank you again for your willingness to help distribute information to universities about the submission process and approval forms for the use of student identification cards and employee identification cards for voting. As you know, a university and may seek approval of both student and employee identification cards, but the entity must submit a separate approval form for each type of ID. Attached are submission instructions in the form of letters from Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell and approval forms for student and employee ID cards. If possible, we ask that you please distribute these materials to universities the week of May 30th. Our intent is to make the applications available on our website on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. We also intend to send a press release announcing the application period on the 30th. The State Board of Elections will receive applications from June 1 - June 28th 2023. In order to be approved for use in the 2023 municipal elections, the approval forms and images of the identification cards must be emailed to VoterID(a)ncsbe.gov<mailto:VoterID@ncsbe.gov> by June 28, 2023. The State Board will review submissions and publish a list of approved identification cards in July 2023. Cards approved by the State Board will remain valid for use as a voter's photo ID through December 31, 2024. Please note, these details are all outlined in the letters from Karen Brinson Bell. Any questions from universities about the submission process can be sent to VoterID(a)ncsbe.gov<mailto:VoterID@ncsbe.gov>. If you have any questions about the attached materials, please don't hesitate to reach out. I've copied by colleague Associate General Counsel Adam Steele as well.

March 17 Guidance Regarding Compelled Speech Policy Implementation
by Andrew T Tripp 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

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

Campus GCs: This is another action item from our recent zoom call. The first action item was a request for your public records enterprise risk designee. Thanks to all of you respondents. If you haven't responded yet, there is still time. Operators are standing by. Separately, here's the checklist for the "well visit" for your Student Health Center that I described. We have ample resources to help you with any questions or observations you discern from this exercise. Attached is the first and what we think will be a helpful step. I'm copying Mike Delafield who is wearing two hats on this. Both as our lead lawyer and the esteemed head of the NCSSM legal shop. I'm also copying Dr. Andrew Kelly who is leading this policy item writ large for the System Office. Thanks. Andrew Tripp

Follow Up from GCs Call: Public Records Enterprise Risk Assessment--Need Your Designee
by Andrew T Tripp 25 Oct '22

25 Oct '22

Campus GCs: I've hit you with a billing correspondence last night. This is not that. This follows on one of the action items I owe. During our call(s) over the last two weeks-the big one and the "not pictured" calls with a few of you who had conflicts, I mentioned a public records enterprise risk assessment call or calls. By reply all here with a copy to my colleague Kelly Gutzmer, please tell us your designee for participating in the public records enterprise risk assessment calls(s). Some of you have already communicated to me that you'd like to self-designate. Self-designation is allowed and welcome. However, to ensure that your earlier communications about self-designation were not done under duress or in a moment of irrational exuberance, please email us again to confirm that you want to be part of this exercise (even if you've already told me once...). Please email me and Kelly Gutzmer by "reply all" here so we can tally up the 17-person roster for the call(s) to be scheduled. Andrew Tripp ANDREW T.
