La Universidad de Carolina del Norte es el sistema universitario público de campus múltiples para el estado de Carolina del Norte . Supervisando las 16 universidades públicas del estado y la Escuela de Ciencias y Matemáticas de Carolina del Norte , se le conoce comúnmente como el Sistema UNC para diferenciarlo de su buque insignia, UNC-Chapel Hill .
El sistema universitario tiene una matrícula total de más de 239,987 estudiantes [ ¿cuándo? ] y en 2008 otorgó más del 75% de todos los títulos de licenciatura en Carolina del Norte. [5] [6] Los campus de la UNC otorgaron 43,686 títulos en 2008-2009, la mayor parte de los cuales fueron a nivel de licenciatura, con 31,055 títulos otorgados. [7]
Historia [ editar ]
Fundaciones [ editar ]
Fundada en 1789, la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill es una de las tres escuelas en reclamar el título de universidad pública más antigua de los Estados Unidos . Cerró de 1871 a 1875, enfrentándose a serios problemas financieros y de inscripción durante la era de la Reconstrucción . En 1877, el estado de Carolina del Norte comenzó a patrocinar instituciones de educación superior adicionales. Con el tiempo, el estado agregó una universidad para mujeres (ahora conocida como la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Greensboro ), una universidad con concesión de tierras ( Universidad Estatal de Carolina del Norte ), cinco instituciones históricamente negras ( Universidad Estatal A&T de Carolina del Norte ,North Carolina Central University , la Universidad Estatal de Winston-Salem , Fayetteville State University , y Elizabeth Estado Ciudad Universitaria ) y uno para educar a los indios de América (la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Pembroke ). Otros fueron creados para preparar a los maestros para la educación pública y para instruir a los artistas escénicos .
Consolidación temprana [ editar ]
Durante la Depresión , la Asamblea General de Carolina del Norte buscó ahorros de costos dentro del gobierno estatal. Hacia este esfuerzo en 1931, redefinió la Universidad de Carolina del Norte, que en ese momento se refería exclusivamente a la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill ; La nueva Universidad Consolidada de Carolina del Norte se creó para incluir los campus existentes de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill., North Carolina State College (ahora North Carolina State University) y Woman's College (ahora University of North Carolina en Greensboro). Los tres campus estuvieron bajo el liderazgo de una sola junta de fideicomisarios y un solo presidente, con los "Decanos de Administración" sirviendo como líderes diarios de los tres campus. En 1945, el título de "Decano de la Administración" se cambió a " Canciller ". Para 1969, tres campus adicionales se habían unido a la Universidad Consolidada a través de acciones legislativas: la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Charlotte , la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Asheville y la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Wilmington .
Continuación de la consolidación [ editar ]
En 1971, Carolina del Norte aprobó una legislación que incorporó a la Universidad de Carolina del Norte a las 16 instituciones públicas que otorgan títulos de licenciatura. Esta última ronda de consolidación le dio a cada escuela constituyente su propio rector y consejo de administración . En 1985, la Escuela de Ciencias y Matemáticas de Carolina del Norte , la primera escuela secundaria residencial pública del país para estudiantes superdotados, fue declarada escuela afiliada a la universidad. En 2007, la escuela secundaria se convirtió en miembro de pleno derecho de la universidad.
Cierre estatal [ editar ]
En marzo de 2020, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 , el Sistema UNC cerró la instrucción en persona en todos sus campus de forma indefinida. En un movimiento sin precedentes para limitar la propagación de la enfermedad, se pidió a las instituciones que retiraran a la mayor cantidad posible de estudiantes de las viviendas en el campus, implementaran el teletrabajo siempre que fuera práctico y hicieran la transición a un entorno de aprendizaje en línea.

Legal mandate[edit]
The legal authority and mandate for the University of North Carolina is contained in the State's first Constitution (1776),[10] which provided in Article XLI

The state legislature granted a charter and funding for the university in 1789.[11]
Article IX of the 1971 North Carolina Constitution deals with all forms of public education in the state. Sections 8 and 9 of that article address higher education.[12]
- Sec. 8. Higher education.
The General Assembly shall maintain a public system of higher education, comprising The University of North Carolina and such other institutions of higher education as the General Assembly may deem wise. The General Assembly shall provide for the selection of trustees of The University of North Carolina and of the other institutions of higher education, in whom shall be vested all the privileges, rights, franchises, and endowments heretofore granted to or conferred upon the trustees of these institutions. The General Assembly may enact laws necessary and expedient for the maintenance and management of The University of North Carolina and the other public institutions of higher education.
- Sec. 9. Benefits of public institutions of higher education.
The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense.

Within its seventeen campuses, UNC houses two medical schools and one teaching hospital, ten nursing programs, two schools of dentistry, one veterinary school and hospital, and a school of pharmacy, as well as a two law schools, 15 schools of education, three schools of engineering, and a school for performing artists.[5] The oldest university, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, first admitted students in 1795. The smallest and newest member is the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, a residential two-year high school, founded in 1980 and a full member of the University since 2007. The largest university is North Carolina State University, with 34,340 students as of fall 2012.
While the official names of each campus are determined by the North Carolina General Assembly, abbreviations are determined by the individual school.[14]
