The College will retain and destroy records in accordance with this Policy and the approved Record Retention and Disposition Schedule (\u201cthe Schedule\u201d) for community colleges adopted by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources and the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges.<\/p>\n
Unless otherwise exempt by law, all records made or received regarding the transaction of public business are public records pursuant to the North Carolina Public Records Act, as defined by the North Carolina Public Records Act, N.C.G.S. \u00a7 132-1 et seq. Records may not be deleted or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the Schedule. The content of the record determines its retention requirement.<\/p>\n
Inquiries regarding the College\u2019s records should be directed to the Public Information Officer.<\/p>\n
A litigation hold is a directive not to destroy records which might be relevant to a pending or imminent legal proceeding. The President may establish a committee to oversee and monitor litigation holds; this committee may contain a member of the Information Technology Services Department (\u201cITS\u201d), the College\u2019s legal counsel and a member of the Administrative Team. In the case of a litigation hold, the committee shall direct employees and the ITS Department, as necessary, to suspend the normal retention procedure for all related records.<\/p>\n
