UNC Names New Dean, Considers Expansion

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law has chosen John Charles Boger, an alumnus and longtime faculty member who is now the School's Wade Edwards distinguished professor of law, as its next dean.

Boger has taught at UNC for over 16 years. He is also deputy director of UNC's Center for Civil Rights.

UNC also announced that it was committing $2 million to the School of Law in recurring funds. The funds will be used to increase support staff and tenure-track faculty positions and to provide financial aid.

The University also said that it was launching a study to determine whether the law school should be expanded. The study will be completed by the end of this year.
