TO THE EDITOR:
I was very sad to learn that Karol Kain Gray, vice chancellor for finance and administration, has chosen to end her employment with UNC after a short year and a half here.
The impact she has had on workers in Housekeeping Services has been significant. She has given us a willing ear at times when it seemed that no one else in management was inclined to listen.
She has used the influence of her office to support the investigation of situations and allegations.
When necessary, she has called for changes to right wrongs or to simply make things more doable for our large, feet-on-the-ground workforce.
While we wish her well in her new endeavors, we are not celebrating her departure. Staff employees throughout the University can only hope that the next person to occupy her office will have the same level-headed concern and motivation to act on our behalf that has marked Vice Chancellor Gray’s time of service to Carolina.
