Following Bowles retirement announcement, Governor Bev Perdue released a statement.
"Erskine Bowles' service to North Carolina and to our university system is a tremendous gift to our citizens as well as to our campuses," she said. "His talents, boldness, skill set, and determination have helped redefine how higher education works in this state. His capacity to collaborate has strengthened all levels of education, Pre-K through 20, so that we truly have a seamless system that will help our students compete in this global economy. Although Erskine is retiring from the university later this year, he will remain actively involved in public service in North Carolina and America."
