Since 2006, the UNC system has engaged in 11 operational efficiency projects that have saved $101.2 million to date. Despite these savings, the UNC system lacks important characteristics of a comprehensive approach to operational efficiency. The system also does not use specific metrics that measure the operational efficiency of its constituent institutions and lacks a reliable funding source for these efforts. In addition, most campuses do not track savings from operational efficiency efforts. The General Assembly should direct the UNC system to develop a more comprehensive approach to operational efficiency, including adopting a board policy stating its commitment and goals for these efforts, adopting metrics to track operational performance, and improving chancellor accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/UNC_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/UNC_Executive_Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/UNC_Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ncleg.gov\/ped\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/07\/UNC_Handouts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Handouts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Subsequent Agency Actions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In August 2014, the UNC Board of Governors adopted a Policy on Efficiency and Effectiveness for the UNC system.<\/li><li>Effective April 1, 2014, an organizational realignment was completed at General Administration to enable UNC to increase its focus on efficiency and accountability efforts.<\/li><li>In August 2014, the UNC Board of Governors adopted efficiency metrics to use in funding decisions and improve transparency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Press Coverage:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/charlotte.twcnews.com\/content\/news\/triangle\/702762\/report-details-operational-inefficiencies-in-unc-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TWC News<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailytarheel.com\/article\/2014\/04\/administrator-student-ratio-skewed-at-unc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Daily Tar Heel<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of North Carolina (UNC) is a public, multi-campus university with 16 higher education institutions that differ in size, complexity, and scope.
