Why is alleged Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering Joint and facility located at de facto Joint Millennial Campus Gateway Research Park South Campus, on land part of NC A&T farm
 
Jehovah, ultimate father to all and defender of the disenfranchised, steps out of the background into the foreground on behalf of enslaved people in the most powerful county at that time.

 In North Carolina In North Carolina Agricultural And Technical State University, where the student made the bricks to build the building in which to be educated, the  LORD established a Land Grant  University where the sons
and  daughters of former slaves and slave owners, coal miners daughters  and sons, alleged trailer park trash, working people, and the disenfranchised World Wide, can potentially move pass their pass, working together through shared  experiences and competition, potentially embracing the ideal they don't have to  kill each other, as they prepare for their future in an education setting accessing world wide education opportunities at the highest levels. NC A&T working with others institutions shall established joint academic programs with other HBCUs expanding institutions offering  jobs with a future.  People of Color world wide shall opportunities other than sports and entertainment. His Plan.
 
Rewinding to 1991-92, at bequest of UNC Board of Governors NC Legislature enacted NC GA § 116‑252. Piedmont Triad Graduate Engineering Program in support faculty and graduate students involved in engineering at the campuses of The University of North Carolina.  In doing so UNC Board of Governors rejected a $20 Million dollar NCA&T/UNC-G Engineering and Science Research Center.


 Reported in the Media: "but that center [Piedmont Triad Engineering  Research Center] contains no role for  UNCG, which had hoped to get several doctoral level  programs out of a joint engineering and science research center with A&T", emphasis added; "UNCG/A&T proposal had won the enthusiastic  endorsement of top  Greensboro business leaders.  Acting through the Greensboro Development Corp., they last year commissioned a $300,000 study  to determine what areas of research  at UNCG/A&T  center could engage in to the benefit of the Triad economy and its  industries"; and I'm [banker E.S. ``Jim'' Melvin, chairman of the Greensboro Development Corp convinced it  [Research Center] is the thing to do, but we've got to work through the university system, build the case for it and get it high on the board's priority list. That's going to take some time.'' reported Jack Scism  TRIAD SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CENTER: VIABLE DREAM OR PIE IN THE SKY? , JACK SCISM, Greensboro News & Record - Monday, July 20, 1992 . (emphasis added) [16]
 
"Its [UNCG] historically strong programs in music, education and nursing are not the kinds of programs that spin off research and development or software companies to fuel high tech economies " "Last year, the development corporation proposed the idea of developing a UNCG/A&T Knowledge and Industry Campus, perhaps in southeast Greensboro...This would be the beginning of our version of N.C. State's Centennial Campus."

Stealing HBCU NCA&T Praise
UNC Board of Governors/ UNC System Institutional Racism, and Corruption:  Alleged designation of NCGS: 116-198.34. (8b), NC A&T/UNCG  Joint
Millennial Campus, next UNC System millennial  campus and de facto NC  A&T millennial campus,  complicity with Greensboro Business organizations,  HWI UNC Greensboro,  Gateway Research Park, and  Southern Commissioner on Colleges, cannibalizing  Land Grant HBCU NC NCA&T  academic programs, land, research and facilities depriving NCA&T HBCU Students equal protection of the law.
 

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 affiliated 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 negotiated action under Solicitation 5NC0075 resulted in a non-competitive award to locate the USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service's East National Technical Center and East Remote Sensing Laboratory on the North Carolina A&T State University Millennium Campus.
 
Emerging from a legislative mandated study HB 1264 ,Staying a Step Ahead,  to ensure  the State's citizens are academically prepared and equipped for current job opportunities and jobs of the future in North Carolina's  growing knowledge economy, explicitly referred to research clusters created by HBCU NCA&T

 HB 1264  explicitly referred to research clusters Public Health, Biotechnology, Bio & Food Sciences, Advanced Materials & nanotechnology, Computational Science & Engineering,  Leadership & Community development, Information Sciences & Technology, Transportation & Logistics, and Energy & Environment created by HBCU NCA&T.

"I think for the next 50 years, A&T and the engineering programs and science programs are going to be an integral part and a driving force in the economic development of the community,'' said Greensboro attorney Jim Phillips Jr., a member of the UNC Board of Governors." [3]
 
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.]

Work with NCA&TSU to establish a research park on the A&T farm property, [NCA&T Farmland was  located in Guilford County not Greensboro City

 
" I am so energized by the potential of this research park, in particular the joint schools of nano technology and nano science. The world is seeing explosive growth today in the commercialization of nanotechnology. We will have all of the assets right here in Guilford County that we need to participate in that explosion, and they will be right here at the Gateway University Research Park." said ("Greensboro Boy" ) Erskine Bowles  President of the University of North Carolina System. Photo NC A&T. [2]
 
Fraudulent claiming HBCU NC A&T and HWI UNCG were partners in Board of Governors designated NCGS: 116-198.34. (8b) NC A&T/UNCG  Joint Millennial Campus Gateway Research Park South Campus.   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.
 

NC A&T/UNCG submitted Joint Request for authorization to Establish” Ph.D. in Nanoscience” dated Oct. 10, 2008 to UNC General Administration and Joint Request for authorization to establish “Master of Science (in Nanoscience)” dated Nov. 21, 2008  to UNC General Administration.
 
Nanotechnology, Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, should have been HBCU NCA&T Signature Programs
 
HB 1264 (6),  says with regard to the University System, there shall be special emphasis on the development of signature programs for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
 

Historical Black Land Grant NC A&T was listed as University focus on Nanotechnology May 2005.
Crosstown PWI UNC Greensboro was not listed as a University focused on Nanotechnology and Gateway University Research Park did not exist.
NC A&T was 4th in Nanotechnology Research at North Carolina Universities
with $11 Million Dollars between 2000-2005 and UNC Greensboro was 11th out of 12 with $44,999. In 2003 A&T, NATO Sponsor Material Symposium in Ukraine.
 
Activities/Resources:  Leverage faculty collaboration at JSNN to enhance research partnerships between UNCG and NC A&T researchers
Expected Results: UNCG opportunities in grants previously unavailable due to limitations in areas of certain research expertise.
 
UNC Greensboro 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.
 

 
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.
 

 
Received pursuant Public Record request from NC A&T for documents supporting Public Private Partnership with Gateway Research Park; An approved Joint Millennial Campus by the UNC Board of Governors in 2003, and Gateway Research Park, Inc. provide operation oversight and owns the assets. NC A&T reply produced Board of  Governor document Joint Millennial Campus - North Carolina A&T State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2003) and alleged Oct. 2003  BOG Minutes approving alleged Millennial Campus. 
 
Proposed Lease was smoking Gun No statuary NCGS: 116-198.34.(8b) NC A&T/ UNCG Joint Millennial Campus was designated Oct. 10, 2003 by UNC Board of Governors for Session Law 2003-284, Section 6.20, land and facilities, and 75-acre parcel of NCA&T Farmland. And no UNC System Millennial Campus was designated in 2003
 
Feb. 2, 2006, Action Item: Lease Agreement between the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development and UNCG and NC A&T, was considered by UNCG Board of Trustees. Action item background information timeline from Feb. 2003 through Feb2, 2006 didn't indicated  JMC  was designed by UNC BOG.
 
Action Item background information says,  In September 2005, a Management Service and Development Agreement (MSDA) between the GCID and NCA&T and UNCG formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development. Section I.D. of the MSDA state, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC, emphasis added.  In order to facilitate the GCID 's ability to perform as manager/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMCThis documents has also been reviewed by the Office of the President. Emphasis added
 
 Action Item background indicating lease was pursuant Identified JMC unambiguous  indicated no Board of Governors JMC had been designated.
 
Board of  Governors' 2023 document  institutions with millennial campus designations and the UNC System, does not indicate a NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus (Gateway Research Park). It does indicate UNC System Millennial Campus 2003, 2022.
 
 UNC System Acquisition of Real Property by lease P0-1 dated March 13, 2006 for the purpose of establishing a Joint Millennial Campus for North Carolina A&T
 
State University and The University of North Carolina Greensboro Two parcels: Approximately 75 acres of property located adjacent to the NCA&T Farm and located on Lee Street. Approximately 75 acres of property and faculties formerly knows as the Central North Carolina School for the Deaf.  Proposed Lease unequivocal extinguished  UNC  Board of Governors alleged Joint Millennial Campus - North Carolina A&T State University and the  University of North Carolina Greensboro -  false claim  Oct. 10, 2003 designation of  the Central School of the Deaf reallocated to the Board of Governors and 75-acre parcel on NCA&T farmland as Joint Millennial Campus and alleged 2003 UNC System Millennial Campus, nor UNC System Millennial Campus in 2003. video
 
2023 UNC SYSTEM MILLENNIAL CAMPUS REPORT  issue overview indicated G.S. 116-198.3(8a) and (8b) provides the University of North Carolina Board of Governors the authority to designate  real property and appurtenant facilities to be included as part of a millennial campus. It does not indicate authority for UNC System to designated millennial campus.
 
UNC Board of Governors' bogus  NCGS: 116-198.34.(8b) NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus designation, defrauded the state of North Carolina of land and facilities via unlawful bogus lease to Gateway Research Park,   killed NCA&T university Millennial  at (NC A&T Farm) 2900 East Lee Street Greensboroforced HBCU NC A&T  into a shotgun  de facto  Joint

Millennial Campus with across town HWI UNC-Greensboro;  Pirated NC A&T Memorandum of  Understanding with the USDA, academic programs, and research,  placed NC A&T students outside equal protections of the laws.
 
When all of the occupations which will be affected by nanotechnology will require a BS in engineering with a broad, interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach; will require an understanding not only of electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics and chemistry as well.
