UNC Greensboro White Privilege Nanoscience Degrees

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) was established as the A&M college for the "Colored Race" in 1891. HBCU NC 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.

Nanotechnology is Experimental.

Although these nascent nanoscale technologies are still largely experimental, their growth is similar to that of the now maturing biotech industry, which has established a significant record of accomplishment for product approval and manufacturing. [5]

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.

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.

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.

UNCG did not have property rights to Session Law 2003-284, Section 6.20 property as well as NC A&T Farmland

The General Assembly, Session Law 2003-284, Section 6.20, reallocated former Central School of the Deaf from the State property Office to UNC Board of Governors to be used for the establishment of Millennium campuses ( campuses is plural ) of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The Board of Governors is authorized to designate as a Millennium Campus property held or acquired by a constituent institution. Session Law 2003-284, Section 6.20 property was reallocated to the Board of Governors. Lacking Board of Governor Designation of millennial campus defined by NCGS 116-198.34 Session Law 2003-284, Section 6.20, remained relocated to UNC Board of Governors.

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

UNC Greensboro White Privilege 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. 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.

JSNN Management Agreement March 3, 2008: Article 5. Degrees. Degrees will be awarded jointly NCA&T and UNCG; Article 1: Mission and Organizing Principles. NCA&T and UNCG are committed to the principle that the JSNN is a shared academic unit of the two institution in terms of governance, faculty, students, curriculum, and management; constitute Collaborative Academic arrangements are agreements between institutions purposes of awarding academic credits and/or educational program completion credentials, e.g., certificates, diplomas, degrees or transcripts.

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.
