From Joseph Henderson (State Property
Office Director) to Terrance Feravich, CC: John Webb
Thursday, August 17, 2006 Subject: NCA&T-UNCG Joint
Millennial Campus (email) |
| |
| I have now read the agreement, lease,
background info put out by GCID. GCID articles of
incorporation and bylaws, and reviewed the pertinent
general statues. It appears to me that A&T and UNCG set
out on a course that was from the beginning contrary to
the current statues governing millennial campuses. |
| |
| A transfer of the real property to
GCID (by leaser or otherwise) would remove the
Department of Administration, Joint Legislative
Commission on Governmental Operations and Governor and
Council of State from any oversight of the real property
transactions. |
| |
| Given the appointment/election
process for directors of GCID, how much control, if any,
do the boards of trustees of the two institutions and
the Board of Governors retain over the actions of GCID?
It's hard to say who is in charge but my reading of the
bylaws indicates the trustees and Board of Governors may
have little say over, little knowledge of GCID' s
actions except with GCID' cooperation. |
| |
| It seems the cart is before the
horse. If the real estate on the millennial campus is to
be managed as contemplated by the agreement and lease,
the General Assembly should be consulted and the
legislation changed to allow it without manipulation or
circumvent current statues. In
the interim, we will work with...and the campus to
efficiently handle all contemplated real estate
transactions. Emphasis added |
