during the depression, the north carolina general assembly searched for cost savings within state government. towards this effort in 1931, it redefined the university of north carolina, which at the time referred exclusively to the university of north carolina at chapel hill; the new "consolidated university of north carolina" was created to include the existing campuses of university of north carolina at chapel hill, north carolina state university, and the university of north carolina at greensboro. the three campuses came under the leadership of just one board and one president. by 1969, three additional campuses had joined the consolidated university through legislative action: the university of north carolina at charlotte, the university of north carolina at asheville, and the university of north carolina at wilmington.
