Chancellor Harold L. Martin Sr. was selected to serve on a U.S. Senate task force to examine the federal regulations and reporting requirements on institutions of higher education.

The bipartisan group will be tasked to review mandates on institutions of higher education added by Congress and the U.S. Department of Education. Members will be expected to offer recommendations that will consolidate, streamline and even eliminate regulations and requirements to make these processes less confusing.

“I am honored to serve on the Task Force on Government Regulations of Higher Education and I look forward to working with the many leaders in higher education to improve the systems and processes that affect educational institutions across the nation,” said Chancellor Harold L. Martin, Sr.

The Task Force on Government Regulation of Higher Education is co-chaired by Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos of Vanderbilt University and Chancellor William Kirwan of the University System of Maryland. UNC President Tom Ross will also serve on the task force.
