Chancellors, Cunningham Comment On ACC Decision

CHAPEL HILL—University of North Carolina chancellor Carol Folt, North Carolina State chancellor Randy Woodson and UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham released statements on Wednesday regarding the Atlantic Coast Conference's decision to relocate 2016-17 neutral-site ACC championships from the state of North Carolina.

Chancellors comment on ACC decision:

We appreciate the Council of Presidents’ reaffirmation of the ACC’s strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as the decision to keep ACC championship contests on our campuses. However, we regret today’s decision will negatively affect many North Carolinians, especially in the affected host communities.
