Abstract

UNCG created the Office of Research in 1999 to report to the Provost in the Division of Academic Affairs. In recognition of growing roles and responsibilities, UNCG expanded this unit in 2009 into the Office of Research and Economic Development, which was to be led by a Vice Chancellor. The mission of the Office of Research and Economic Development is to provide support and strategic direction to faculty, staff and students for research and creative endeavors resulting in scholarship, innovation, economic development, and community engagement. The collection contains training and workshop materials for faculty and staff engaged in research activities, including grant writing, application, and management.

Offensive Language Statement

The UNC Greensboro University Libraries collects, preserves, and makes accessible unique and historical materials for learning and research. The nature of historical materials is such that some material may represent positions, norms, and values that are offensive and objectionable. These materials represent the opinions and actions of their creators. By providing access to these records in our reading room and through our digital collections, we recognize that archives and rare books can play a vital role in holding those creators accountable and in helping us learn from the past.

Our finding aids and other collection descriptions may occasionally re-use language provided by creators or former holders of the materials, but we strive to place outdated or offensive terminology in context. That said, we recognize that we may not always make the right decision and welcome feedback from all sources so we can learn and adjust our practices. Please contact us at scua@uncg.edu if you encounter problematic language in our finding aids or other collection description. We will review the language and, as appropriate, update it in a way that balances preservation of the original context with our ongoing commitment to describing materials with respectful and inclusive language.
