Biography
Coming to UNC from his post as Vice President of Academic Affairs at Illinois State University, Richard “Dick” Bond set out to follow the "road less traveled." Bond wanted to make education as accessible as possible. He believed in expanding the university's role beyond the confines of the campus and also worked for a more innovative, student-oriented, and accessible institution. Nevertheless, he also underscored the importance of UNC remaining a leading teacher education institution.
Bond was president from 1971-1981.
