*UNC-G DNP enrollment

DNP by 200 students. |
# Lease Maximum Cost |
Combining Union square public record information and figures in
the public domain, based on maximum lease costs, lease will cost
NC A&T $6000 , GTCC $$4, 200 and UNCG $ 9,500 per enrollee but
will only cost Cone Health 168 per enrollee. Cone Health 2,800
enrollees is seven times the Public University enrollment whose
lease fee of $470,000 is the least lease fee for a token 500 sq.
ft. of fixed space. A&T will receive only 3000 sq. ft. while
GTCC will receive 6,000 sq. ft. of fixed space for the same
Lease fee. UNC-G enrollment of 232 is two hundred enrollee
greater than the 32 students projected in their request to
establish DNP degree which also said the university could house
the program for three years using existing facilities.
Furthermore UNC Board of Governors 2015-16 & 2016-17 Strategic
Capital Priorities call for spending 124,765,400 for UNCG
Nursing and Instructional Building. |

The
2012 Nursing Report indicated North Carolina A&T’s nursing program had
failed to meet the minimum passing rates on the NCLEX-RN set by the BOG .
Passing rate for first time NCLEX-RN test takers was 61% and 74 % in years
2010 and 2011 under current Chancellor Harold Martin which trigger
pursuant Board of Governors Policy pertaining to Nursing programs whose
first time pass rate for NCLEX-RN was below 75% for consecutive years
required review of the Program for corrective action which may include
program elimination. In 2012, North Carolina A&T submitted plans to improve
NCLEX-RN pass rates, with the commitment to meet BOG , 85% pass rate, and
Board of Nursing standards by 2013, with the possibility of new student
admissions being suspended and program elimination if goals are not
met. In 2013 NC A&T pass rate was 81% failing to meet the BOG minimum
standard which pursuant 2012 commitment should have triggered new admissions
being suspended and review with possible program
elimination. Alleging
"the campus has shown steady improvement", when records indicated NCLEX-RN
results had drop from 82 % in 2012 to 81% in 2013, the Ross Administration
did not implement or recommend NC A&T Nursing program review based on public
record documents receive. Nevertheless, COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING,
POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS initiated corrective action calling for review
consistent with NC A&T's 2012 commitment which
was approved by the Board of Governors April 2014. |
