UNC President Margaret Spellings has offered the following comment on NC House Bill 186:
“We are in the process of analyzing the legislation and are in regular contact with legislative leaders to advise on the impact to our University communities. We appreciate the legislature involving the University in the discussions—and the bipartisan manner in which they are operating. We maintain our longstanding policies of and commitment to equal access and opportunity and an environment free of discrimination and look forward to a thoughtful and positive resolution for the University. In so doing, we have every expectation that, once again, the University will be able to host national athletic events and professional conferences as we did before the passage of HB 2.”
