Noose Found At JSNN / Gateway  was hate crime committed?

From: Chancellor Harold L. Martin, Sr.  Date: November 7, 2017
Re: Incident at JSNN
Earlier today, a staff member at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) discovered a noose hanging in the school’s facilities. N.C. A&T, UNCG, and Greensboro police departments quickly identified the individual responsible, an outside contractor who told authorities he meant the noose as a joke. That contractor has been terminated and will not be allowed to work for either university or Gateway University Research Park in the future.  I am deeply disturbed by this incident; such actions have no place at our university or in our society and certainly will not be tolerated. I am grateful to our police departments and our colleagues at JSNN for bringing the matter to a close, emphasis added.   Martin is not Guilford County District Attorney; does allegation the matter is close, constitute aid, abetting, and covering up potential hate crime?
 

North Carolina A&T Millennial Campus

HBCU  institution North Carolina A&T, one of the state's two land grant institutions, has programs throughthe doctoral level. Its programs include engineering, arts and sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, business and economics, education, nursing, technology, and graduates studies.  “ The expected roles of a land-grant institution, is teaching agriculture and engineering, and providing cooperative extension services”.  NC A&T's 2001 amend University Master Plan called for developing 75 acres  of land along East Lee Street targeted to develop new opportunities for both research and education in both the private and academic arenas between the University's technology and agricultural research and its students, which didn't include across-town historical white UNC Greensboro and its members of the Greensboro business community.
 
Negotiation began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T State University celebrated the sighing of Memorandum of Understanding  with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the opening of the National Resources Conservation Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose service area consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home to the remote sensing lab.  The Memorandum of Understanding says A&T has a working farm with modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm by  being able to provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies that can serve as demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local
and regional farmers. A&T constituents will also benefit from this type of applied investigation. Finally, A&T faculty and students can also benefit academically by conducting scholarly research and publishing this information.

Greensboro City's Greensboro Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was adopted May 2003.  A key principle of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote economic development in historically under-served parts of the City such as East Greensboro. Properties in these areas should receive priority consideration as the City designates and promotes land for economic development. The NCA&TSU Farm site is one such candidate.  7D.3 Promote economic development through public/private partnerships to include government, economic development agencies, educational and health care institutions, and businesses. Build on existing partnerships and initiatives in this effort. Examples include:
 

University-related research and development opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building on the example of the Nussbaum Center incubator facility)[ One of their primary tasks will be keeping tabs on research at the two universities, in areas such as engineering and sciences, that might have commercial uses. They will look for existing companies that could benefit from that research and explore the potential of using it to create start-up businesses.][1]

Negotiation began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T State University celebrated the sighing of Memorandum of Understanding  with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the opening of the National Resources Conservation Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose service area consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home to the remote sensing lab.  The Memorandum of Understanding says A&T has a working farm with modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm by  being able to provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies that can serve as demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local
and regional farmers. A&T constituents will also benefit from this type of applied investigation. Finally, A&T faculty and students can also benefit academically by conducting scholarly research and publishing this information.

August 14, 2006 Terrance Feravich email to Joe Henderson, John Webb,  CC Robert Nelson; John Merrill: I was hoping that we might have an opportunity to sit and walk through any hurdles that you see in proposed lease between NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus and GCID.   Talking with John of Friday.  I've learned that he has gained a significant commitment from the USDA for up to a 50,000 sq. ft. new building.  While they understand that we are working hard at getting things properly set-up for all parties and are being patient, my sense is that it would be in the best interest of this new venture to get that first client off to a healthy and timely start.  I'll be in Raleigh Wednesday for a couple of meetings ... and would welcome the opportunity to work the issues that you are see in the lease.  I know that John Merrill is also pretty flexible this week is well.  Sorry to be a bit of a pest with this important issue and I appreciate your understanding.

We can deal with the new building under our existing procedures. Let's not let the proposed lease get in the way of that.

My view of the proposed lease is that the General Assembly limited the millennial campuses to space leases not exceeding ten years. I was present at the committee meetings and have an understanding of the concerns at that time and why the ten year limit was imposed and the Council of State was kept in the process. I can't support an action (this lease) that circumvents the general assembly's intent. There are number of ways to provide for the effective administration of this campus other that the proposed lease. Emphasis added.

John Merrill email dated Oct. 23, 2006 to Joseph Henderson Subject: Re: Follow Up.  Regarding the USDA. Assuming we have the Ground Lease issues resolved by mid to late November, the USDA deal is sublease for space only. The GCID would be construction the facility (using non-state funds) and would lease a portion of the facility to the USDA for a 5 year "firm" term w/ a 5 year stated option. So the entire lease would be 10 years or less, which I understood did not require COS approval. is that not the case?

 
Joseph Henderson email dated Oct. 23, 2006 to John Merrill, Subject RE. Follow up  said, John you are correct! For some reason I though the USDA Lease was a 20 year deal (5 year  firm).
