N.C. alone in college hiring secrecy
By Corey G. Johnson
Staff writer
North Carolina is the only state in the nation that selects the top leaders of all its public universities in secret.
In 49 other states, the names of the finalists for university president or chancellor positions are made public, a Fayetteville Observer study shows. Six states release the names of all applicants.
A few states have no single governing policy, according to the survey of 118 university systems or individual schools. Some universities in those states close the process, but at least one school or university system in every state, except North Carolina, selects leaders in public.
