Under the Dome podcast: UNC chooses Lee Roberts as chancellor
Start your week in North Carolina politics with our latest Under the Dome podcast, for the week of August 12, 2024. Dawn Vaughan here, your podcast host and The News & Observer’s Capitol bureau chief. On this episode, I’m joined by higher education reporter Korie Dean and summer intern Emmy Martin.
It’s a higher education crossover episode, because the big news on Friday was UNC-Chapel Hill’s announcement that interim Chancellor Lee Roberts has been chosen as the permanent chancellor.
If you’re not familiar with Roberts, we bring you up to speed on his career before UNC, how he was chosen and what the response may be from faculty, students and others.
Headliner of the Week
After the break, we talk about what else to watch for this week in North Carolina politics.
Stayed tuned to the end for our picks for Headliner of the Week. We talk about the response during Tropical Storm Debby and the Olympics.
