Ask UNC President Erskine Bowles, Dr. Alan Mabe, Dr. Alton Thompson,  Dr. David H. Perrin, Dr. James Ryan and NC A&T Chancellor Harold Martin, where are NC A&T Nanoscience degrees?
 
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.   May 2007 UNC Board of Governors established alleged Joint School of

Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, located at the South Campus at de facto 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.
 

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 

UNC Board of Governors Minutes May 2006

 
The North Carolina A&T State University and the UNC Greensboro Joint  School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering.  Dr.  Priscilla P.  Taylor (Cemala Foundation) reported that the Greensboro and greater Triad community are solidly behind this proposal and see it as an important step that will have significant impact on economic development in the region. The master's and doctoral degree programs will follow the ordinary approval process and will be separately considered by the committee.
 
The Chancellor signature certifies proposal [UNC Policy Manual 400.1.5(G)] to establish new degree program was reviewed and approved by the appropriate campus committees and authorities.
 
Responding to a Public records request to Dr. David H. Perrin UNCG Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor,1/7/11, for a copy of an UNCG chancellor signed request to establish stand alone Masters and PhD Nanoscience degrees at UNCG,  Counsel Steve Serck responded  "In response to your request of 1/7/11, no such documents as you described exists." 
 
Unambiguous lack of UNCG Chancellor Dr. Linda Brady signed Proposals requesting  to establish Nanoscience Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience and Ph.D. Nanoscience clearly demonstrated UNCG had not expressed intentions to establish the degrees, they had not been approved by the faculty and administration, and were not pursuant UNC Policies 400.1.1,1[G]and 400.1.1.5[G].
 

Requests to UNC-GA for a UNCG Request to Plan a PhD and Request to Establish a standalone PhD in Nanoscience proscribed by UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B)  related to degree authorization  Ms. Joni Worthington (UNC-GA) Vice President for Communications UNC General Administration  responded to a  public record request for a UNCG Chancellor signed request to plan and establish a PhD in Nanoscience said: “Dr. Alan Mabe in his capacity as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs determined: 
 

·         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) “

 
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 the
ory and experimental techniques through course work and dissertation research.
 

The PhD program will include a core interdisciplinary curriculum that provides a thorough background in the principles and tools required for a research career in nanoscience.
 

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; at least 21 hours in the proposed program area at the doctoral level.
 
Dr. James Sadler Associate Vice President for Academic Planning University of North Carolina :
December 9, 2009

UNC Graduate Council recommends authorization of the joint PhD
 
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.

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 in 40 CIP category.
 

 
The staff of General Administration recommends that the Board of Governors approve the request from the University of  North Carolina at Greensboro to establish a doctoral degree program in Nanoscience.
 

 
After discussion it was moved by Dr. Taylor and seconded  by Mr. Lail that the doctoral program in Nanoscience at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro be approved . After discussion it was moved by Dr. Taylor and seconded  by Mr. Lail that the doctoral program in Environmental Heath Science at the at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro be approved
 
With Harold Martin, former Bowles administration official, as Chancellor of  NC A&T,  Erskine Bowles President of UNC system ,and Alan Mabe Vice President of Academic Affairs , complicity with the BOG Planning Committee used the authority to make recommendation to the BOG to award  UNC Greensboro Nanoscience degrees alleged in conjunction with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Engineering excluding NC A&T.
