The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has named a former senior staffer for former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory as its interim chancellor. A Friday UNC-Chapel Hill news release says that Lee Roberts will take over for Kevin Guskiewicz. Guskiewicz is leaving in January to become the president of Michigan State University. Roberts is a finance executive who previously served as state budget director. The announcement comes amid Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s complaints that “hard right” legislative appointees are damaging the school.
