The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill completed a privately commissioned, $1.2 million outside investigation into its School of Civic Life and Leadership but declined to release the findings, citing personnel privacy rules. Chancellor Lee H. Roberts and the university said corrective actions will be taken but provided no specifics; the review followed faculty allegations about hiring practices and governance at the new school. Separately, the University of Georgia removed the interim label from Santanu Chatterjee’s deanship at the Terry College of Business, making his appointment effective April 1. Chatterjee has been on Terry’s faculty since 2001 and served as interim dean since 2025; the appointment signals a governance decision that contrasts with the opaque review process at UNC and highlights how leadership outcomes can vary widely across public research universities.
