The Turmoil Over A New UNC System President

UNC Board of Governors

The UNC Board of Governors is deeply dividedover how to elect a new leader.

Some board members have called for the resignation of chair John Fennebresque after he called an emergency closed-door meeting to interview a candidate.

Emails reveal several board members accused Fennebresque of botching the hiring process which started after President Tom Ross was forced to resign earlier this year. 

The division represents a split within the Republican members of the board.

Host Frank Stasio talks with WUNC reporter Dave DeWitt about the political divide and candidates for the UNC system president position.

Will Michaels is WUNC's Weekend Host and Reporter.
