Universities and Community Colleges
The college and university
funds are comprised of the University of North Carolina system and the
community colleges.
University of North
Carolina System
The Board of Governors of
the consolidated University of North Carolina (UNC) system is a legally
separate body, composed of thirty-two members elected by the General Assembly.
The Board of Governors establishes system-wide administrative policies
while budgetary decisions are exercised at the State level. Within
the consolidated system there is UNC-General Administration, which is the
administrative arm of the Board of Governors, the sixteen constituent universities,
and UNC Hospitals. Each of the sixteen universities, in turn, is
governed by its own separate board of trustees that is responsible for
the operations of that campus only. UNC Hospitals are governed by
a separate board of directors. Funding for each of the institutions
of the UNC system is accomplished by State appropriations, tuition and
fees, sales and services, federal grants, and private donations and grants.
The following constituent
institutions comprise the UNC system for financial reporting purposes:
| Appalachian State University | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill |
| East Carolina University | University of North Carolina at Charlotte |
| Elizabeth City State University | University of North Carolina at Greensboro |
| Fayetteville State University | University of North Carolina at Pembroke |
| North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University | University of North Carolina at Wilmington |
| North Carolina Central University | Western Carolina University |
| North Carolina School of the Arts | Winston-Salem State University |
| North Carolina State University | UNC Hospitals |
| University of North Carolina at Asheville |
Community Colleges
There are currently fifty-nine
community colleges located throughout the State of North Carolina, and
each is a separate component unit of the reporting entity. Each community
college is legally separate. The State does not appoint a voting
majority of each community college board of trustees. The State Board
approves the budgeting of state and federal funds, the associated budget
revisions, and the selection of the chief administrative officer of each
individual community college. The State Board of Community Colleges
is comprised of state officials or their appointees. Each community
college is similar in nature and function to all of the others, and the
operations of no community college is considered major in relation to the
operations of all community colleges in the system.
