new resignation, Carol Folt, and the board is accelerating her departure. Good riddance. That monument (Silent Sam) was inspirational as well as a life saver. Like the time that mass murderer Wendall Williamson went off this meds and shot people on campus. Anon took cover behind it while bullets whizzed by.

CNN)A day after the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chancellor announced her resignation and approved the removal of the remains of "Silent Sam," a Confederate monument, the school's board asked her to leave weeks earlier than she'd planned.
Chancellor Carol Folt announced Monday that she had authorized the move of the Confederate monument's base and that she would resign after graduation in May. On Tuesday, the UNC board of governors accepted Folt's resignation and gave her until January 31 to leave her job, according to a brief statement released by the university system.
The board's decision comes hours after the monument's base and commemorative plaques – the subject of intense recent debate as part of a larger national conversation about the purpose of and need for Confederate monuments – were removed late Monday or early Tuesday from the UNC Chapel Hill's upper quad and put into an undisclosed "secure location," the university said.
The Silent Sam statue that had stood on the base was knocked over by protesters in August and did not return to its original spot.
