UNC-Chapel Hill abides by G.S. 143-128.2 which has a verifiable 10% goal for participation by minority or socially and economically disadvantaged businesses in the total value of work for each State building project.

Minority is defined as a citizen or lawful permanent resident of U.S. who is Black, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian or female. Socially and economically disadvantaged person is defined by 15 U.S.C 637.

To be considered toward the statutory goal of 10%, minority businesses must be certified with the State HUB Office.
