===Structure=== NC State is one of 17 institutions that constitute the [[University of North Carolina]] system. Each campus has a high degree of independence, but each submits to the policies of the UNC system board of governors. The 32 voting members of the board of governors are elected by the North Carolina General Assembly for four-year terms. President [[Peter Hans]] heads the system.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Long |first=Brian |date=May 1, 2018 |title=State Board elects Peter Hans president of NC Community College System |url=https://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/news-center/news/state-board-elects-peter-hans-president-nc-community-college-system |access-date=July 21, 2022 |website=NC Community Colleges |language=en |archive-date=December 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203152207/https://www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/news-center/news/state-board-elects-peter-hans-president-nc-community-college-system |url-status=dead }}</ref> The board of trustees of NC State has thirteen members and sets all policies for the university.
