HBCU institution North Carolina A&T, 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”. 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.

Would political astute business organization affiliated UNC-G use political connections to reposition Majority serving UNC-G in and Minority serving NCA&T out? UNC-G 2003-08 formulated a 2003-08 academic plan to establish a joint Millennial campus with NC A&T.

Reported in the Media: Last month, the members [Greensboro Area Chamber of Commerce] came up with a recommendation: a Knowledge Campus, " more commonly known as a research park. this campus would house N.C. A&T's and UNC-G's flagship research programs, like engineering and biotechnology" There, cutting-edge research could be spun off into startup businesses and lure exiting ones from other parts of the nation.

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?

The degree authorization process progression calls for a constituent institutions to submit Request to Establish a New Degree to UNC System General Administration which serves under the President. The General Administration submits constituents request to Planning Committee. If the Planning Committee approved the Request it is taken to the full Board of Governors for a decision to authorized.

Notwithstanding May 2007 UNC Board of Governors established alleged Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, at bogus NCA&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 Policy Manual 400.1.1.1[G] indicate the chancellors of the constituent institutions shall communicate to General Administration of the University their intentions or request with respect to instructional programs development for the following: (3) Request for authorization to establish a new degree program

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.

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].

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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”

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. Section 2000d) provides that, “No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” The 1987 Civil Rights Restoration Act (P.L. 100- 259) expanded the definition of “programs and activities” to include all programs and activities of federal aid recipients, sub-recipients and contractors, whether such programs and activities are federally assisted or not.

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.

Why is 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?
