UNC names hate crimes panel

CHAPEL HILL UNC President Erskine Bowles gave the panel the task of reviewing student conduct rules.

Led by Dr. Harold Martin, UNC Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and former chancellor of Winston-Salem University, the group will advise Bowles on whether or not a university-wide policy on hate crime should be recommended to the UNC Board of Governors for adoption.

The 11-member Commission, which includes students, staff, and faculty, will also look at diversity orientation for all first-time students.

The group will report back no later than March 31.
