UNC Greensboro White Privilege Nanoscience Degrees

 

"A Promise for the Future By some accounts, nanotechnology is destined to replace much of today's technology. Gateway University Research Park expects to be at the forefront of these new technologies with the creation of a new institution the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN)"15] “The Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering… built on the major nanotechnology research activity been established Wake Forest and at NCA&T” [13] New and existing nanotechnology centers developed by faculty at the JSNN, NCA&T, and UNCG will also be housed in the new JSNN building. [5]
 
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. New and existing nanotechnology centers developed by faculty at the JSNN, NCA&T, and UNCG will also be housed in the new JSNN building. [5]

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro 2003-2004 Profile

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 [Ken Mayer, Editorial, UNCG, A&T University will need to be leaders in the charge for high-tech industry in the Triad, Triad Business Journal Nov 9, 1998] ( Ken Mayer is former Chairman UNCG BOT 2003-2004 & 2004-2005.
 
 

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 to its students, forcing the HBCU out of the JSNN Mission to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree.
 
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.

 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. His plan.
 
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.
 
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.

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.  UNC Greensboro:  A Center for Research Excellence in Nanobiosciences in the process of being established.5
 
Staying a Step Ahead (HB 1264(7)(2003-04)) the Legislature mandated the Board of Governors emphasized existing and new programs at Liberal Arts  Universities specifically aimed at meeting business, industry, workforce, and career needs of North Carolina in the State's changing and growing knowledge-based economy, taking into account, as appropriate, State and regional economic strategies.

Proposed Leases were 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.

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. 
BACKGROUND  INFORMATION
  • In September 2003, in order to create an efficient vehicle to manage the UNCG/NCA&T Joint Millennial Campus (JMC), a Separate 501(c)3 not-for-profit was established.  The newly formed organization is known as the Greensboro Center for Innovative  Development (GCID). The GCID (allegedly) is charged with the management and development of  the properties that represent the JMC.
  • In September 2005, a Management Services and Development Agreement
    (MSDA) between the GCID and NCA&T and UNCG was approved and executed by each party's respective board of Trustees. The MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC, subject to necessary governmental approvals- Such leases shall be long term leases for nominal consideration.  emphasis added
  • In order to facilitate the GCID's ability to perform its role as manager/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC. The lease document is based on a model previously used by several UNC campuses, including UNCG and NCA&T. This document has also been reviewed by the Office of the President.
     
  • The purpose of this action is to request approval from this Board to proceed with a 50-year ground lease (and two successive 10 year renewals) with the GCID on land owned by the Sate of North Carolina (Approximately 75 acres with 142,000 square feet of existing space at the former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and approximately 75 acres adjacent to the NCA&T farm), on which the GCID will develop, in concert with the universities, a research park similar to the Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University.
 
Action Item background information says, In September 2005 the MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC. ""In order to facilitate the GCID ability to perform its role as managed/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC ( land owned by the State of North Carolina at the former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and 75 acres adjacent the the NCA&T farm).  Unambiguous no statutory NCGS: 116-198.34.

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.

 
Reported in the Media:  "UNCG and N.C. A&T are partners in the project. UNCG is offering graduate degrees in Nanoscience. A&T will eventually offer degrees in Nanoengineering."[11]
 
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. 
 
 

NC A&T has twelve years of Experience in Nanotechnology and Nanoscience (4)

 
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) “


 
Ask former 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?
 
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.
 

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.
 
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
 

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.
 
Doctor of Philosophy in Nanoscience

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
 
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 General Administration receives Request for Authorization to Establish and make recommendation to BOG Planning Committee. Planning Committee recommends Authorization to Establish to BOG.
 
 
 
 
 
With Harold Martin, former Erskine Bowles administrator,  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, with Triad affiliations, used  authority to make recommendation to the full Board of Governors  to award  UNC Greensboro Nanoscience degrees, alleged in conjunction with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Engineering excluding NC A&T.
 
Alleged, Dr. Belle Wheelan SACS Commission on Colleges, letter dated June 25, 2010 to Dr. Alton Thompson (NCA&T) and Dr. David H. Perrin (UNCG)
"We approve the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in Nanoscience, shall include them within the scope of accreditation previously granted to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro”  link
 
 

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.  
 
 
Marginalizing NC A&T, Scripting UNC-G and Gateway Research Park, Inc. in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, pursuant bogus alleged NCAT\UNC-G Joint Millennial Campus
 
Subject of a policy discussion Nov. 2006, UNC Board of Governors 2007-2009 Budget Priorities November 10, 2006 called for Pending Board of Governors approval, funding for the creation of a joint Graduate School of Nanoscience  and Nanoengineering at NCA&T  and UNC-G's Millennium Campus.  Not with standing  NCA&T board of Trustees had not met. Subject of a policy discussion UNC Board of Governors 2007-2009 Budget Priorities November 10, 2006 called for Pending Board of Governors approval, funding for the creation of a joint Graduate School of Nanoscience  and Nanoengineering at NC A&T  and UNC-G's Millennium Campus. 
   
The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense. (NC Constitution ARTICLE IX EDUCATION Sec. 9.).
 
UNC BOG Committee on Budget and Finance, April 2006, approved recommending 1.3 million dollars for planning a Biotechnology Building at NCA&T to full BOG.  Proposed facility would enable NCA&T to support ongoing and expanding research activities in bioengineering, biotechnology, and biomedicine. 
NC A&T' biotechnology program is interdisciplinary and will incorporate research activities currently housed in the College of EngineeringCollege of Arts and Sciences, and School of Agriculture and Environment Sciences.  The Total cost of this project is $25 Million dollars. 
UNC Board of Governors 2007-09 budget Priorities bogus claim the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development- renamed  Gateway University Research Park

 
as NCAT/UNC-G Joint Millennial Campus relocated NCA&T College of EngineeringSchool of TechnologyPhysical Sciences and Applied Sciences programs and research, off –campus to the bogus Joint Millennial (with UNCG) doubling the cost $25 million vs. $50 million
 
All references to "JSNN faculty, Nanoengineering faculty and Nanoscience faculty in this document refer to faculty members hired by JSNN to carry out
their primary research and academic duties in JSNN. "Nanoengineering faculty are faculty members hired by JSNN with NC A&T as their home institution. Nanoscience faculty are faculty members hired by JSNN with UNCG as their home institution. Emphasis added. [38]
 
UNCG will act as the financial manager for JSNN beginning in fiscal year "09-'10, using a budget accounting code established for JSNN.  JSNN will follow  all UNCG Budget and fiscal management policies and procedures.

 NC A&T will be designated as the campus responsible for the upkeep of the buildings, but upon receipt of the Building Operation and Maintenance money for JSNN, will transfer the money to Gateway University Research park in accordance with the Management Services and Development Agreement between Gateway, NC A&T and UNCG [38]
 

 
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
 
 
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.
