Tom Ross, who was forced to step down from his position as UNC System president earlier this month, has been named the first Terry Sanford Distinguished Fellow at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. The fellowship, which starts today, will last through the end of the spring semester. As part of the fellowship, Ross will work to launch a bipartisan project with the goal of changing how political lines are drawn in the United States. Ross plans to return to the School of Government at UNC-Chapel Hill, where he is a tenured faculty member, after a one-year sabbatical.
