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.

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” .

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. No liberal arts school offered Nanotechnology degrees in the UNC System

Dr. Alan Mabe Senor Vice President for Academic Affairs April 28, 2009 to Ed Planning, Ph.D. Memorandum degree proposals indicate NC A&T plan to offer Nanoscience and Material Science (Nanoengineering).

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.

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. Emphasis added

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 degrees.

United States v. Fordice, 505 U.S. 717 (1992) a United States Supreme Court case that resulted in an eight to one ruling that the eight public universities in Mississippi had not sufficiently integrated and that the state must take affirmative action to change this under the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI. This is not a legal setting but context comparison UNC BOG & SOCS policies in light of the selected text held in UNITED STATES v. FORDICE, GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI :

..If the State perpetuates policies and practices traceable to its prior de jure dual system that continue to have segregative effects ...implicit in the court’s finding of “unnecessary” duplication is the absence of any educational justification ....and such policies are without sound educational justification and can be practicably eliminated, implicated the Equal Protection clause... , emphasis added.

Clearly unnecessary duplication take place when 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?

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.

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 UNC Policy Manual 400.1.1.1[G] Adopted 05/06/09

Examining Nanoscience discipline file at www.northcarolina.edu :

1. The discipline file contained no UNCG Notification to plan a master’s in Nanoscience,

2. The discipline file contained an unsigned “Revised UNCG Request to Establish a Master’s in Nanoscience,

3. The discipline file contained no UNCG Request to plan a PhD in Nanoscience

4. The discipline file contained no UNCG Request to Established a PhD in Nanoscience

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.

NCAT/UNCG Joint PhD in Nanoscience

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) “

The President [shall] promulgate regulations to implement Board of Governors Policy.

Early in the investigation of lack of supporting documentation for UNCG Nanoscience degree authorizations Dr. James Sadler Associate Vice President for Academic Planning University of North Carolina put forth a chronology of authorizations (e-mail (08/04/2010).

May 11, 2007
Board of Governors authorizes establishment of the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering. You ask about any request to amend the Joint School, but I am not aware of any request, emphasis added. Sadler's reply indicated JSNN Mission had not change to add Nanoengineering degrees.

JSNN Management Agreement March 2008

Curriculum Approval Process. JSNN courses and curricula will be approved by the appropriate JSNN curriculum committee (s) and forwarded for review and approval through NCA&T and UNCG established curricular approval processes. Any conflicts will be resolved by the Provosts.

Amended and Restated Management Agreement

Pursuant Amended and Restated Management Agreement curriculum approval Process JSNN Dean Ryan alleged UNC Greensboro Revised Request to establish Nanoscience MS should have been submitted to UNC Greensboro for review and approval through established curricular approval process, not submitted directly to UNC General Administration therefore unauthorized.

November 13, 2009
UNC Board of Governors authorizes the UNCG MS in Nanoscience based on the revised request submitted. The summary that went to the Board can be viewed in the Planning Committee pre-meeting materials at this location: https://www.northcarolina.edu/bog/index.php.

UNC Board of Governors authorizes the UNCG PhD in Nanoscience based on the revised request submitted. The summary that went to the Board can be viewed in the Planning Committee pre-meeting materials at this location: https://www.northcarolina.edu/bog/index.php.

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]

Elizabeth City State University requested authorization to establish a BS in Engineering Technology (CIP 15.9999) in January 2006. The proposed degree will offer concentrations in “Computer and Information Technology” and “Mechanical and Automation.” The program will be housed in the Department of Technology, which currently offers BS degrees in Industrial Technology and Aviation Science. The proposed program will incorporate some existing industrial technology and computer courses into the curriculum. UNC Board of Governors 8/11/06 authorize BS Engineering Technology CIP 15.999 to in 2006 Elizabeth City State.

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.

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.

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 in conjunction with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Engineering excluding NC A&T.

Clearly UNC Board of Governors and UNC General Administration exploited HBCU NC A&T Engineering circular and research to establish Nanoscience MS and Ph.D. at cross-town white UNC Greensboro.

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),

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 UNCG with strong programs in liberal Arts. (UNCG) Rebecca Adams to (SACS) Tom Benberg: Sarah Armstrong Subject: Request for interpretation of accuracy of nanoscience message, April 13, 2010:

”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. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PROGRAM DUPLICATION STUDY Submitted by James H. Woodward November 1, 2011 p12]

NCA&T was 4th in Funding 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.

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.

Unambiguous North Carolina A&T State University was the better host base on :

(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,
