A 1997 Locke Foundation study of faculty compensation found that UNC-Charlotte ranked 19th out of 57 comparable public universities. A 1999 Pope Center study on faculty compensation placed UNC-Chapel Hill 30th of all Research I institutions and 19th out of public Research I institutions. Both studies found no support for the argument that faculty compensation was causing a critical loss of quality personnel from UNC institutions. On August 18, Clarion Call reported that legislation enacted in 1999 enabled universities to carry forward into the next budget year 2.5 percent of their total budget. The legislation was enacted in 1991 and amended in 1999.
