UNC Chancellor Carol Folt announced at last Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting that Dr. Kim Strom-Gottfried has been appointed as the Director of Ethics Education and Policy Management.

This cabinet-level position in the Chancellor’s Office was created in the wake of the Weinstein report in addition to the recently launched Ethics and Integrity website.

The Policy and Procedure and Ethics and Integrity working groups proposed the idea of the new position back in February. Folt said she is pleased with the hard work the committees have done to fill this position.

Strom-Gottfried has been with the university since 1999 as a faculty member of the School of Social Work. Folt described her as well-qualified.

“She has perfect qualifications for this position and she has been active in so many ways across the faculty, and we’re really excited that she’s going to be joining,” Folt said.

Strom-Gottfried’s new position will begin August 1. The Ethics and Integrity website is up and running with 1,600 policies and procedures.  Visit the website to report a complaint or an idea for a change.
