UNC President Erskine Bowles stumbled into some ethics issues when he joined the N.C. State University Board of Trustees in supporting first lady Mary Easley’s pending $180,000-per-year, five-year employment contract at the university.
Bowles has a business relationship with NCSU Board Chairman D. McQueen Campbell, and Campbell’s company has used Bowles’ position as UNC president in real estate investment promotional material. State law prohibits a public official from knowingly allowing his public position to be used in advertising activities that might generate financial gain for him or others.
