The position of Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business (later renamed Associate Vice Chancellor for Business) was created on 1 January 1970, as part of a major reorganization of the agencies and activities of the university's Division of Business and Finance. In 1970 the position had oversight of the following: (1) Auxiliary Enterprises, which included the Horace Williams Airport, the Carolina Inn, the Laundry Department, the Morehead Planetarium, the Student Stores, and Utilities; (2) Operations and Engineering, which included the Campus Police, Capital Improvements, Physical Plant Planning, Safety, Traffic and Parking, and the University Engineer; (3) the Physical Plant, and (4) Purchases and Stores. Auxiliary Enterprises, Operations and Engineering, and the Physical Plant were headed by directors who reported to the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business. In addition, the assistant vice chancellor was responsible for dealings with the vendors who contracted to provide the campus Food Service.

In January 1972 a new position, Director of Security Services, was created. This position reported to the Director of Operations and Engineering and headed a department that combined the Campus Police, Safety, and Traffic and Parking.

Another reorganization took place in 1977, when John L. Temple, who had been Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business, became Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance. At this time Engineering and Construction (which had absorbed Capital Improvements and the University Engineer), the Physical Plant, Facilities Planning (formerly Physical Plant Planning), and Purchases and Stores were made to report to the vice chancellor. This organization largely continued until 1986, when the position of Associate Vice Chancellor for Facilities Management was created. The new position then assumed oversight of Engineering and Construction, Physical Plant, Facilities Planning, and Transportation and Parking. The latter moved from under Security Services, which remained in the Business Division.

Several other organizational changes also took place in the 1980s. For several months during 1981, Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Charles Antle served as Acting Director of Internal Audit while that position was vacant. Following the appointment of a new audit director in September 1981, Antle assumed oversight of the Internal Audit Department. It continued to report to him until 1 July 1984, when it resumed reporting to the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance as it had prior to 1981.

In 1984 the Utilities Division, which had reported to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business, was placed under the Physical Plant, which at that time reported to the vice chancellor. Effective 1 February 1987, the Division of Purchasing and Stores (formerly Purchases and Stores) was again assigned to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business. Also, on 1 January 1987 the Trademark Licensing Program began reporting to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business. In 1988 the university closed its laundry.
