Lee Roberts, the founder of a Raleigh private investment firm, is the new chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the state’s flagship university. The UNC system board of governors on Friday voted unanimously to approve Roberts, removing the interim tag he has held since Jan. 12. He succeeds Kevin Guskiewicz, who left the nation's oldest public university to be president at Michigan State. Roberts was chosen over nearly 60 other qualified candidates after a six-month national search. He is the son of journalists Steven Roberts and the late Cokie Roberts.
