In light of the recent allegations of sexual assault involving UNC Charlotte students, I write to address some of the concerns I have heard from members of our campus community and the public, and to give some broad context regarding how, what, and when we communicate when serious issues like these arise.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 25, portions of Cameron Boulevard and Poplar Terrace Drive will be closed temporarily.

The internal audit profession is interesting and dynamic. A challenge of the profession is to promote the role of internal auditor, while defeating misperceptions associated with this job.

The “old” internal auditor often was seen as a “bean counter” who was concerned with numbers or dollars and cents. Auditors were perceived as always looking back, and they emphasized finding fault.

The Chancellor’s “Fast Five” update provides the campus community a behind-the-scenes glimpse into some of the projects and priorities that occupy the chancellor’s time and attention.
