University of North Carolina at Greensboro  2008-2009 Profile

 
Historical black North Carolina A&T, as one of the state's two land grant institutions, has programs through the 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” .
 
For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with doctorial programs in music and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees  requires access to NC A&T academic programs and research:  “Although the degree is in Nanoscience (does not include Nanoengineering),



students will be given the opportunity to take relevant courses at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and must be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering.
 
UNC Board of Governors 2007-09 budget Priorities bogus claim the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development- renamed  Gateway University Research Park

as NCAT/UNC-G Joint Millennial Campus relocated NCA&T College of EngineeringSchool of TechnologyPhysical Sciences and Applied Sciences programs and research, off –campus to the bogus Joint Millennial (with UNCG).
 
Alleged, NC A&T Dr. Alton Thompson, Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and UNCG Dr. David H. Perrin, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, in letter dated August 5, 2009 to Dr. Belle Wheelan ,enclosure Principles Relevant to All Joint curricular Ventures (1.)

 says in addition to degree programs in nanoscience and nanoengineering, JSNN will engage in research and outreach, as well as the expected roles of a land-grant institution, such as teaching agriculture and engineering, and providing cooperative extension services. The JSNN facilities will be located on land that was formerly part of the NC A&T Farm.
 
Notwithstanding May 2007 UNC Board of Governors established alleged Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, at bogus NC A&T / UNCG Joint Millennial Campus, UNCG affiliate, Gateway University Research Park, Inc. to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree. 
 
 
The University of North Carolina Board of Governors authorized PWI UNC Greensboro Nanoscience MS on November 13, 2009 and  PhD program in Nanoscience on January 8, 2010 requiring UNCG students take relevant courses  at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering”.
 

Excluding (The) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State university from offering  MS and PhD Nanoscience degrees, forcing the HBCU out of the JSNN Mission to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree. And depriving NC A&T benefit Nanoscience funding.

"We are excited to partner with two outstanding universities in N.C. A&T and UNC Greensboro, and their combined research and teaching strengths through JSNN,” said Ramanathan Nagarajan, the Army’s senior research scientist for Soldier Nanomaterials."  ICONS will be co-led by two JSNN professors, Kristen Dellinger, Ph.D., in the Department of Nanoengineering at N.C. A&T, and Tetyana Ignatova, Ph.D., in UNCG’s Department of Nanoscience.   Jackie Torok
 
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Nov. 21, 2022) – A new partnership between the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development (DEVCOM) Soldier Center and the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at Gateway Research Park will develop advanced Nanoscale materials for soldier protection that promise to be lighter, faster, safer and stronger than ever before. link
 
What is validity of JSNN, DEVCOM Soldier Center Partnership when alleged Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (UNC Greensboro
 offering Nanoscience degrees and NC A&T offering Nanoengineering degrees) is not  JSNN (NC A&T and UNCG offering Joint Nanoscience degrees) approved by the Board of Governors May 2006.  See UNCG 'white privilege degrees".  Gateway Research Park is not  joint millennial campus of NCA&T and UNCG. See no NCA&T/UNCG NCGS 116- 198.33(4b) (2000) was designated.
 
ICONS will be co-led by two JSNN professors, Kristen Dellinger, Ph.D., in the Department of Nanoengineering at N.C. A&T, and Tetyana Ignatova, Ph.D., in UNCG’s Department of Nanoscience.   

Amended and Restated Management Agreement (April 2009)   all references to "JSNN faculty, Nanoengineering faculty and Nanoscience faculty in this document refer to faculty members hired by JSNN to carry out their primary
 research and academic duties in JSNN. "Nanoengineering faculty are faculty members hired by JSNN with NC A&T as their home institution. Nanoscience faculty are faculty members hired by JSNN with UNCG as their home institution. Emphasis added.
