     On July 1, 1972, the Consolidated University of North
Carolina was expanded to include sixteen campuses, and its Board
of Trustees was replaced by a Board of Governors.  The Board of
Governors, made up of thirty-two members elected by the North
Carolina General Assembly, was given responsibility for "the
general determination, control, supervision, management, and
governance of all affairs of the constituent institutions."

     Much of the business of the Board of Governors is conducted
through its four standing committees: the Committee on Budget and
Finance; the Committee on Personnel and Tenure; and the Committee
on University Governance.  A preliminary Planning Committee, made
up of representatives of each of the constituent institutions,
met from January to July 1972 to establish and co-ordinate the
organization and functions of the Board prior to its first
official meeting on July 7, 1972.  It was not related to the
Board's standing Committee on Educational Planning.  Reports from
all four standing committees and the minutes of the preliminary
Planning Committee are included in the minutes of the Board of
Governors.
