Two get endowed professorships


Two Carolina faculty members have recently been named to endowed professorships.

They are:

* Stephen Allred; and

* Helen R. Tibbo.

Allred

Albert and Gladys Hall Coates term professor in the Institute of Government, Allred teaches MPA classes in public personnel law and administration and Institute classes in employment law for public officials.

His primary area of research is in public personnel law, particularly constitutional issues in public employment.

Among his publications is Employment Law: A Guide for North Carolina Public Employers.

Allred is a member of the University priorities and budget advisory committee, a member of the faculty hearings committee, a member of the executive council of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration, and a board member of the Public School Foundation.

He did his undergraduate and master's work at Carolina, and received his juris doctor degree at Catholic University.

The Coates professorships were established in the Institute of Government by Chapel Hill entrepreneur and philanthropist Paul A. Johnston and his wife, Margaret McGirt Johnston. Albert Coates was the founder and first director of the Institute of Government. Gladys Hall Coates, a researcher and writer of University history, co-authored the history of Carolina's student government with her husband.

Tibbo

Associate professor at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS), Tibbo has been named the Frances Carroll McColl professor for 2000-2002.

A member of the Carolina faculty since 1989 and associate dean of SILS from 1996 through July 2000, Tibbo earned her master's degree in library science from Indiana University, and a second master's in American studies and a doctoral degree in library and information services, both at the University of Maryland.

Tibbo has made substantive contributions in archives, electronic records, and reference and information services.

Of her award, Tibbo said, "For me, this honor signals a higher commitment to, and focus on my research and publication agendas. I simply cannot express how excited I am about returning to the researcher's life on a larger scale than my administrative duties have allowed."

The McColl professorship was established in 1995 as the result of a $250,000 endowed gift from Hugh L. McColl Jr., chair and chief executive office of Bank of America Corporation, in honor of his mother and sister, who shared the same name.
