These criteria also guided the university's decision not to privatize various other services at UNC-CH, including heating, ventilating and air conditioning, ground maintenance and vehicle maintenance. This is a waste of North Carolina taxpayers' money. From the point of view of the university's employees, this is marvelous, but if you are a taxpayer interested in seeing the state universities run as efficiently as possible, this criterion is nonsensical. The Pope Center is now investigating whether the outsourcing criteria ha ve influenced decisions not to privatize services at other UNC-system campuses. Expect more about privatization in the UNC system this summer in Clarion , the Pope Center's journal on higher education policy.
