#40040 RECORDS OF THE ASSOCIATE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS (Patricia L. Poteat) in the University Archives and Records Service Wilson Library CB# 3926 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill, NC 27514-8890 11/95 10/96 6/97 2/00 The records contained in this group are those of Patricia L. Poteat, who became Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs on July 1, 1990. Before that time, Dr. Poteat had been Associate Vice Chancellor for Research, a position she filled beginning January 25, 1988. Effective January 1, 1989, she was appointed Special Assistant to the Provost. However, she continued to act as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research until mid-1990. Her dual roles were the result of an administrative restructuring that took place in November 1988. At that time J. Dennis O'Connor, who had been Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research since 1987 and acting Provost since July 1988, was appointed Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. The position of Vice Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research was eliminated. The Office of the Provost was given broader responsibilities, including the oversight of research activities. A position titled Associate Provost and Dean of Research was created but was not filled until July 1990. In the interim Dr. Poteat essentially did two jobs. In July 1990, Dr. Poteat became Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs in the Office of the Provost; she served in that position until June 30, 1994. As Vice Chancellor, she continued her oversight of research initiatives begun in her previous positions. The records currently in the Archives reflect Dr. Poteat's activities in all three of her positions, although most materials pertain to projects initiated as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research. That position's primary responsibility was to enhance and support the research mission of the University by developing new research initiatives and funding sources; providing technical assistance to faculty; and acting as liaison and spokesperson on research matters with outside institutions and funding agencies. Among Dr. Poteat's major activities were directing the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, assisting the establishment of the North Carolina Association for Biomedical Research, organizing the University-wide Cognitive Science Working Group, and coordinating university efforts to fund and build a 4-meter telescope in Chile. Her files on the issue of animal care and use of animals in research, as well as the telescope project, are quite extensive. (N.B. Other files on this issue will be found in the records of the following offices: the Provost, Chancellors Fordham and Hardin, and the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs.) An inventory of this records group is provided on the following page. Additional material pertaining to Dr. Poteat's role as Special Assistant to the Provost will be found in the Records of the Office of the Provost.
