You might spot UNC system president Margaret Spellings in the Triad this week. Spellings is wrapping up her tour of the system's 17 campuses.

Spellings' all-day visit Monday to UNC-Greensboro was her 14th stop on a statewide tour.

The News and Record reports Spellings talked to students and faculty about college access and cost, and academic success.

When asked about the controversial House Bill 2, she reasserted her belief that while the law has cast a chill over student and faculty recruiting, state institutions need to comply.

A small group of protesters gathered on campus, expressing opposition to her lack of higher education experience and her close ties to a Republican president.

Spellings is visiting Winston-Salem State University Tuesday, and will wrap up her tour at the UNC School of the Arts on Friday.
