North Carolina Central University Chancellor Search
North Carolina Central University (NCCU), an esteemed constituent institution of the University of North Carolina System (UNC System), is actively searching for its next visionary chancellor to spearhead the storied institution’s journey into a continued future of growth, innovation and transformative change. With current chancellor, Dr. Johnson O. Akinleye, set to retire after nearly eight years of dedicated service to the NCCU community, effective at the end of the 2023–2024 academic year, the university is calling forth dynamic individuals with a passion for education, innovation and impactful leadership to guide NCCU to new heights. ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY NCCU is a nationally ranked historically Black university founded in 1910 in Durham, North Carolina, by pharmacist and religious educator Dr. James E. Shepard. The university serves as a hub for intellectual dialogue and discourse and is a source of academic distinction and game-changing innovation for North Carolina, the United States and the world. It is the oldest publicly-funded liberal arts college for African Americans in the nation. Located in the state’s Research Triangle region, NCCU has an enrollment of 7,964 students (Fall 2023) who hail from North Carolina, North America, Africa, Asia, South America and Europe. The university offers nearly 140 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs – including a Ph.D. in integrated biosciences – with 146 area concentrations. NCCU’s signature graduate and undergraduate degrees are housed in seven colleges and schools: College of Arts and Social Sciences and Humanities; School of Business; School of Education; School of Graduate Studies; College of Health and Sciences; School of Law; and School of Library and Information Sciences. The Role of Chancellor of North Carolina Central University The Chancellor reports to the UNC System President, and executes the policies established by the UNC Board of Governors and the NCCU Board of Trustees. As the chief executive of the institution, the Chancellor is responsible for all institutional operations including administrative, academic, financial, student affairs, advancement, athletics, and alumni affairs, and ensuring that the institution’s affairs are carried out consistent with federal and state law and university policy. The Chancellor’s Cabinet and Executive Leadership Team includes ten direct reports: the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs; the Chief Financial Officer and Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance; the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs; the Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement; the Chief of Staff; the Chief Legal Counsel; the Director of Athletics; the Chief Information Officer; the Chief Human Resources Officer; and the Chief Brand Officer. The Chancellor works closely with UNC Board of Governors, the President and UNC System leaders, and the NCCU Board of Trustees to ensure alignment between the institution’s strategic initiatives and the UNC System Strategic Plan: Higher Expectations. The Chancellor has overall responsibilities to strengthen existing institutional initiatives and foster new initiatives to ensure sustainability and forward progress toward successfully advancing the university’s mission. The Chancellor will serve as the public face of the University, providing leadership across campus and being an active and contributing leader within the community, across North Carolina, among other higher education institutions, and across the nation. Desired Qualifications and Characteristics The next chancellor of North Carolina Central University will demonstrate leadership capabilities and potential in the following areas: • North Carolina Central University’s History and Mission.
