(Chapel Hill, N.C.) (AP) — The board that oversees North Carolina’s public universities has asked the University of North Carolina’s campus at Chapel Hill to come up with a plan for preserving a Confederate monument torn down by protesters.

The resolution approved Tuesday by the Board of Governors does not indicate whether university leaders favor returning the statue to its former location, or putting it elsewhere.
The resolution simply asks the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s chancellor and trustees to present them with a plan for the monument’s “disposition and preservation” by Nov. 15.

A week ago, protesters used ropes to pull down the statue known as “Silent Sam” during a demonstration attended by hundreds.
