Budget Request
Goes to Legislature Board Begins President Search
At its January meeting, the Board of
Governors received reports on action
taken by outgoing Governor James
Hunt and the Advisory Budget Com¬
mission in response to the 1985-87
budget request of the Board. The recom¬
mendations to the General Assembly,
announced in December, call for current
operations appropriations of S821
million for 1985-86 and $860 million for
1986-87 and capital improvements
appropriations of $81 million for the
biennium. (Tables 1 and II, Pages 2, 3.)
As noted by President Friday, the
recommendations for academic salary
increases are in two parts: a five percent
basic salary increase in 1985-86; and the
reestablishment of the in-lieu appro¬
priation, equal to five percent of the
salary base, also beginning in 1985-86.
The statewide recommendations
include an across-the-board five percent
salary increase for University SPA and
other state employees, according to Fri¬
day, and the reestablishment of the
merit increment program as well as the
addition of the tenth step to the SPA
salary schedule.
Friday reiterated that the Board of
Governors’ request calls for the restora¬
tion of both the merit system for all SPA
and other state employees and an ap¬
propriation for academic personnel in
lieu of those increments.
William A. Dees, Jr., chairman of the
Board of Governors’ budget and finance
committee, said consideration of the
budget is likely to be a lengthy process.
“Governor Martin and the General
Assembly will be considering these in¬
itial recommendations at length,” says
Dees. “We can anticipate sustained
review of both expenditure and revenue
sides of the recommended budget.”
The work of an 11 -member search
committee for UNC President William
Friday’s successor is well underway with
the appointment of an executive
secretary and a 16-mcmber advisory
committee, according to Philip G.
Carson, chairman of the UNC Board of
Governors who is also chairman of the
search committee.
“We are planning a series of public
hearings in Asheville, Charlotte, Fay¬
etteville, Greensboro, Greenville and
Raleigh during March and April,” said
Carson. “Anyone who wishes to speak
will be heard during these sessions.”
In January, Carson appointed Sarah
Virginia Dunlap of Chapel Hill as execu¬
tive secretary. Recently retired as
Secretary of UNC-CH, she filled a simi¬
lar position for the Chapel Hill campus
in its search for a chancellor five years
ago.
