This Policy was revised to align it with other UNC institution policies by removing the selection criterion that former faculty and staff are eligible only if they have achieved distinction in a second career or in work unrelated to their university positions. In addition, to more explicitly align the Policy language with the original intent of the Policy, the revisions clarify that the Chancellor will forward both the list of all nominees and the list of recommended candidates to the Board of Trustees Executive Committee for its review and consideration.
