Three for UNC
August 6, 2010 - by
The Raleigh buzz is that three of the finalists for UNC System President are AG Roy Cooper, Greensboro super-lawyer (and Board of Governors Chair) Jim Phillips and Bill Roper of UNC Health Care.
Cooper and Phillips, interestingly, are long-time friends and political allies.
For Cooper, the N&O’s much-hyped series on the SBI could not be coming at a worse time.
Part of Phillips’ appeal is that – as a former aide, campaign finance head and legislative lobbyist for Governor Jim Hunt – he can help the universities in the legislature’s budget battles.
