WRAL is part of a lawsuit demanding the report be made public.
Calls for transparency about a recent report investigating UNC's School of Civic Life and Leadership are getting louder.
"Most of its original faculty have left, the cofounders have resigned," said Kiersten Hackman with Sunrise UNC. Sunrise UNC is one of the groups calling for the report's release. "We see the release of the investigation not as the end
goal but as a step towards transparency and accountability for the school of
civic life and leadership."
The school has caused controversy on campus since its creation by Board of Trustees members. UNC's Faculty Council passed a resolution calling for clarity around school creation and the faculty input necessary to establish schools.
The faculty council also passed a resolution calling on Chancellor Lee Roberts to release the report.
That resolution asks the university to "specify plans to remedy any irregularities of SCILL's establishment, hiring practices, and the actions of its dean."
A group of media outlets, including WRAL, is suing UNC for the release of that report. Attorneys argue that not releasing it is a violation of public records law. UNC attorneys disagree.
