The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill concluded an outside investigation into problems at its School of Civic Life and Leadership but declined to release the report. Chancellor Lee H. Roberts and the university general counsel said the probe was “lengthy, detailed and exhaustive,” yet cited personnel‑privacy laws for withholding the findings. The review cost $1.2 million and did not use state funds. Former faculty had publicly accused Dean Jed Atkins of overriding faculty input in faculty searches and of problematic hiring practices. University leadership said corrective actions will be taken but declined to specify them; the school will continue under the current dean. The lack of disclosure raises governance questions about transparency in personnel investigations at major public research universities.
