HBCU institution North Carolina A&T, 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”. 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.

In 2003-04, with the backbone of North Carolina's industrial economy Tobacco, Textiles, and Furniture outsourced, in decline/recession or outsourced with appropriations for UNC-System taking an ever increasing multi-billion dollar bite out of state's coffers, North Carolina's Legislature thru House Bill 1264 (HB 1264) direct UNC-BOG and COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM to contract a private consulting firm that had experience in higher education to conduct a comprehensive study (Staying a step ahead) of the mission and educational program needs to ensure that 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.

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

"It is predicted that nano scale science will change the nature of almost every human-made product this century. This field has great potential applications in materials, medicine, electronics, optics, data storage, advanced manufacturing, environment, energy, and national security. Some specific applications include: lightweight new materials with greatly improved strength and wear characteristics; ultra-dense computer memory; better drug design and better drug and gene delivery; sensing applications for agricultural, biological, chemical and homeland security applications; improved catalysts for the chemical and automotive industries; new materials to improve fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions; and improved batteries and energy efficient processes for energy technologies. Nanoscale materials already find use in numerous pharmaceutical, catalytic, electronic, magnetic, optoelectronic, biomedical, cosmetic and energy applications."

information sciences and technology, logistics and transportation development. All these endeavors are aligned in eight research clusters that bring faculty together across disciplines to develop large research projects. These research clusters run in parallel with a number of multidisciplinary centers and institutes at N.C. A&T, which develop partnerships with private and corporate sponsors, educational institutions, and government agencies.

Nanotechnology is Experimental
NCA&T State University has been funded at an average rate of $3-5 million per year in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Most of the research in nanoengineering is done in the Center for

Advanced Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS). Several Centers and projects are under CAMSS, including the NSF Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), the DoD Center for Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and Multifunctional Materials (CNN) for Homeland Security, the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), the NSF project on US/Europe Materials Collaboration: Self-Organized Nanostructured Thin Films for Catalysis, the NSF project on Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT), the NSF Major Research Instrumentation for Nanoengineering Research, and the NSF Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program. CAMSS also facilitates many of the materials research activities of the NASA-National Institute for Aerospace (NIA). In addition, the Center for Composite Materials Research (CCMR) does research in nano-enhanced composite materials and the Army Center of Excellence for Battlefield Capability Enhancements (Flexible Displays) does research in material characterization and development of novel displays.

NCA&T was 4th in Nanotechnology Research at North Carolina Universities with $11 Million Dollars between 2000-2005. UNC at Greensboro 10th among the 11 institutions conducted $45,000 dollars of Nanotechnology research between 2000 thru 2005. In 2003 A&T, NATO Sponsor Material Symposium in Ukraine

Overview

NC A&T and UNCG submitted Chancellor signed Request for Authorization to Establish a New Degree Program , joint Ph.D. in Nanoscience CIP 40.999 dated October 10, 2008 and joint Master of Science in Nanoscience CIP 40.999 dated November 21, 2008 to UNC General Administration. Two programs with the same CIP code should initially be viewed as duplicative. [UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PROGRAM DUPLICATION STUDY James H. Woodward November 1, 2011, p.5]

Notwithstanding May 2007 UNC Board of Governors established alleged Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering which was to offer a joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and a joint professional science master's degree.

University of North Carolina Board of Governors established (non-joint) stand-alone MS in Nanoscience on November 13, 2009, and PhD program in Nanoscience on January 8, 2010 to HWI UNC Greensboro; requiring UNCG students be given the opportunity to take relevant courses at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and will be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering” - excluding HBCU (The) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

A degree program is a program of study in a discipline specialty that leads to a degree in that distinct specialty area at a particular level of instruction. As a general rule, in order to be considered for degree program status, a course of study should require at least 27 semester hours in the proposed program area at the undergraduate level; at least half the number of hours required for the degree at the master’s level; and at least 21 hours in the proposed program area at the doctoral level. [Adopted 05/06/09]

The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), categorized Nanoscience as CIP 15.1601 Engineering Technologies and Engineering-Related Fields. UNC General Administration applied CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering . Note UNC-G has a School of Arts and Science.

For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with programs in music and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees requires access to NCA&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 faculty in the School of Engineering”. [Request to Plan Joint NCA&T/UNCG Joint Nanoscience Ph.D.]

Doctor of Philosophy in Nanoscience
The PhD in Nanoscience requires a minimum of 60 hours and is designed to prepare students to take positions in industrial, governmental, or academic research settings by providing a solid background in Nanoscience theory and experimental techniques through course work and dissertation research.

Erskine Bowles UNC General Administration categorizing Nanoscience Ph.D. as a Physical Science; examining UNC Greensboro curricula for similar Physical Science Ph.D. programs determined:

UNC Greensboro offer no similar Ph.D. programs.

Clearly UNC Greensboro academic inventory was substantially below the general rule at least half the number of hours required for the [Nanoscience] degree at the master’s level; and at least 21 hours in the proposed program [Nanoscience] area at the doctoral level.

Greensboro native Erskine Bowles UNC System General Administration unlawful manage and guided the degree authorization process to excluded HBCU NCA&T from Nanoscience degrees authorization (s) and JSNN Mission to offer Nanoscience degrees.

UNC Policy for Interdisciplinary Degree
An Interdisciplinary Degree program involves two or more academic units, either on the same or different campuses in a formal agreement to offer a program of study drawing on two or more disciplines that will result in a student being awarded an interdisciplinary degree. If more than one campus is involved in offering the program it would also be a joint degree.

JSNN Management Agreement Dated March 03, 2008 constituted a formal agreement to offer a Joint Nanoscience MS and PhD degrees between NCA&T and UNCG. UNCG Nanoscience MS and PhD degrees were non-joint, stand-alone degrees which meant no formal agreement exited between UNC Greensboro and NC A&T therefore no educational bases exist for UNCG students to take courses at NCA&T School of Engineering and work on Cooperative research with the faculty in the school of Engineering.

· UNCG was not required to submit a new request to plan a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint proposal submitted by UNCG and NCA&T was deemed sufficient for the campus to move forward with planning a stand-alone degree program.

· UNCG was not required to submit a new request to establish a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint request submitted by UNCG and NCA&T, which had already been recommended for approval by the UNC Graduate Council, was deemed sufficient for Board consideration. The Board of Governors concurred with that determination in approving the establishment of the program. (E-mail 10.08. 2010) “

Contradicting assertions Dr. Mabe in the capacity of Senior VP for Academic Affairs etc., are Board approved Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B.) Academic Program Development Requiring Authorization or Action Beyond the Campus Level, which says The chancellors of the constituent institutions shall communicate to General Administration of the University their intentions or requests with respect to instructional program development for Request for authorization to plan a new degree program at the doctoral or first professional level and Request for authorization to establish a new degree program. [Guidelines for Academic Program Development [The UNC Policy Manual 400.1.1.1[G] Adopted 05/06/09].

UNC System Board of Governors May 2007 approved Joint school of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering in which JSNN will offer a joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and a joint professional science master's degree (M.S.)

The National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) responsible for collecting and presenting statistical data and information for the nation; classifies Nanoscience and Nanoengineering as Nanotechnology CIP 15.1601: Engineering technologies and Engineering related fields.

Nanotechnology. Definition: A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles and technical skills to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular level (in the range of 1-100 nanometers) and to design, fabricate, and integrate nanoscale structures, devices, and systems. Includes instruction in materials science, thermodynamics, nanomaterials, Nano electronics, and nano/micro device fabrication and testing. [https://nces.ed.gov/search/?q=nano+science]:

Notwithstanding the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), categorized Nanoscience as CIP 15.1601 Engineering Technologies and Engineering-Related Fields. UNC General Administration applied CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering . Note UNC-G has a School of Arts and Science.

Note Fall 2005 UNC Presidency transition from President Molly Broad to Erskine Bowles.

Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience
The 33-hour, non-thesis MS in Nanoscience follows the Professional Master of Science degree model, featuring course work in Nanoscience and business and an internship to provide practical experience.

UNC General Administration applied CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering determined UNC at Greensboro offered only a Master in Chemistry on the graduate level in the category of Physical Science.

Unambiguous a degree in Chemistry is not a degree in Nanoscience. UNC Greensboro academic inventory was substantially below the general rule of at least half the number of hours required for discipline [Nanoscience] degree at the master’s level.

”The addition of a doctoral program is not an easy or simple extension of the master’s program. Unlike most master’s programs, a doctoral program is research-based. While doctoral program requirements routinely include additional course work, the central program requirement is the dissertation. The topic for the dissertation normally derives from discussion with faculty who are engaged in research and therefore knowledgeable about the “frontier of knowledge” in the discipline. For a faculty member to then properly guide and assist the student’s dissertation research, that faculty member must be an active researcher. Hence, the implementation of a doctoral program must be preceded by the assembling of faculty who are conducting publishable research in that discipline.

UNC at Greensboro 10th among the 11 institutions conducted $45,000 dollars of Nanotechnology research between 2000 thru 2005. NCA&T was 4th in Funding in Nanotechnology Research at North Carolina Universities with $11 Million Dollars between 2000-2005.

Erskine Bowles UNC General Administration categorizing Nanoscience Ph.D. as a Physical Science; examining UNC Greensboro curricula for similar Physical Science Ph.D. programs determined:

UNC Greensboro offer no similar Ph.D. programs.

Cross town Historical White UNC Greensboro was not listed as a University focused on Nanotechnology.

Dr. Alan Mabe dated April 28, 2009 to Ed Planning, Ph.D. Memorandum degree proposals indicate NC A&T Nanoscience and Material Science (Nanoengineering).

PCG/UNC-NCCCS/UNC Interim report 3.doc/RB.SP.PC.CR.ATPCC.1/CC.14/10May05

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” .

UNC Board of Governors January 2007 authorized UNC Charlotte, which has an Engineering School, to offer a Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science. Offering Nanoscale Science was not a Substantial Change as defined by the SACS for UNC Charlotte. Nov. 2012 UNC Board of Governors authorized a Master’s in Nanoengineering to Land Grant Institution NC State, which has an Engineering. Offering Nanoengineering was not a Substantial Change as defined by the SACS for NC State.

Consistent with other engineering schools in the UNC System offering Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (Material Science) programs are not Substantial Changes as defined by the SACS and consistent with the education, curricular, mission and goals of NC A&T State University.

In order for white Liberal Arts UNC-G with programs in music, art, and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees it must access NC A&T academic circular 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 will be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering”.

Request to Plan Joint NCA&T/UNCG Joint Nanoscience Ph.D.

Unlike land grant cross-town historical Black NCA&T with strong programs in engineering offering Nanoscience constituted a Substantive Change as defined by SACS from previous approved circular at historical white women UNC Greensboro Liberal Arts with nursing and music programs . (UNCG) Rebecca Adams to (SACS) Tom Benberg: Sarah Armstrong Subject: Request for interpretation of accuracy of nanoscience message, April 13, 2010:

The bottom line, however, is that we need to submit a full prospectus and need to do so as soon as possible. This request will be for approval to initiate a new off-campus site (South Campus) and to initiate a new degree program (MS in Nanoscience) at that site. Contrary to previous interpretations, both represent substantive changes.. Due to the confusion, they are willing to waive the requirement that we do so 6 months in advance and will usher it though the approval process in a timely way so that we can accept students into UNCG's MS in Nanoscience program next fall.

A&T is known for its engineering and agricultural programs and UNCG’s background is nursing and the humanities “. [1]

students will be given the opportunity to take relevant courses at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and will be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering”. [Request to Plan Joint NCA&T/UNCG Joint Nanoscience Ph.D.]

Unambiguous UNC Policy on Academic Program Planning conclusion if it had been implemented would indicate :

(1) number, location, and mode of delivery of existing programs,

(2) the relation of the program to the distinctiveness of the campus and the mission of the campus,

(3) the demand for the program in the locality, region, or State as a whole,

(4) whether the program would create unnecessary duplication,

(5) employment opportunities for program graduates,

(6) faculty quality and number for offering the program,

(7) the availability of campus resources (library, space, labs, equipment, external funding, and the like) to support the program,

(8) the number and quality of lower-level and cognate programs for supporting the new program,

(9) impact of program decision on access and affordability,

(10) the expected quality of the proposed degree program,

over whiningly indicated Nanoscience and Nanoengineering degrees be established at HBCU (The) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State university "not" University of North Carolina Greensboro.

Why is across-town Liberal Art UNC Greensboro with programs in music and nursing, requiring relevant courses be taken at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University and will be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering”, except for unvarnished racism offering Nanotechnology degrees?
