“I, the Lord, am the maker
of all things, Stretching

And spreading out the earth
all alone. Humans have a
method to enter heaven: By
believing in God Almighty,
the Father; the Son,
Jesus Christ; and the
Comforter, the Holy
Spirit. "When will
humans--finally--learn that
there is one God, no matter

for all humanity

U.S.
Department
of
Education
Issues
Final
Rule
to
Hold
All
Colleges
and
Universities
Accountable
for
Low-Earning
Programs
Today,
the
U.S.
Department
of
Education
(the
Department)
announced
a
final
rule
establishing
a
long-overdue
postsecondary
education
accountability
framework.
Under
the
new
Student
Tuition
and
Transparency
System
(STATS)
and
Earnings
Accountability
rule,
undergraduate
programs
will
be
required
to
demonstrate
that
their
graduates
earn
more
than
the
typical
high
school
diploma
holder,
and
graduate
programs
will
be
required
to
demonstrate
that
their
graduates
earn
more
than
the
typical
bachelor’s
degree
holder.
If a
program
fails
to
show
at
least
this
modest
financial
return
on
investment
for
its
graduates
in
two
out
of
three
consecutive
award
years,
it
will
lose
eligibility
to
participate
in
the
federal
Direct
Loan
program.
After
three
years
of
consistently
failing
the
earnings
premium
measure,
the
Department
could
also
terminate
eligibility
for
Title
IV
of
the
Higher
Education
Act
(HEA),
including
Pell
Grant
eligibility,
for
all
of
an
institution's
low-earning
outcome
programs.

Letter stated, under
the Second Morrill Act
of 1890, states choosing
to open a second
land-grant university to
serve Black students
were required to provide
an  equitable
distribution of state
funds between their 1862
and 1890 land-grant
institutions. 1862
land-grant universities
were founded through the
First Morrill Act of
1862 which provided
states with federal land
that could be sold to
support the colleges.
Using data from the
National Center for
Education Statistics
(NCES) Integrated
Postsecondary Education
Survey (IPEDS) that
ranges from 1987 to
2020, the departments
were able to calculate
the amount that these
institutions would have
received if their state
funding per student was
equal to that of 1862
institutions. |

 Addressed
to Governor Roy Cooper,
North Carolina A & T
State University,
the 1890 land-grant
institution in your
state, while  producing
extraordinary graduates
that contribute greatly
to the state’s economy
and the fabric of our
nation, has not been
able to advance in ways
that are on par with
North Carolina State
University at Raleigh,
the original Morrill Act
of 1862 land-grant
institution in your
state, in large part
due to unbalanced
funding. Unquotable
funding of the 1890
institution in your
state has caused a
severe financial gap, in
the last 30 years alone,
an additional $2,079,934,848 would
have been available for
the university. Video Link |

BACKGROUND INFORMATION |
- 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

BACKGROUND INFORMATION |
-
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

BOT Chair Gina
Loften
In accordance with UNC Policy 200.4,
Assessment Process for the Chief
Executive and Governing Boards, the
Board of Trustees of each constituent
institution will conduct a self
assessment every four years, at a time
determined by the Chairperson of the
Board of
Trustees, after consultation with the
chancellor and the president.
The board’s last self-assessment was |
 |
|
conducted in March 2021,
and it is time for another assessment. I
am asking the Executive Committee to
lead our survey process. As we did with
the last self-assessment, and in
alignment with the policy, we may use
an outside consultant to assist us in
this project. The SERVE Center is a
nationally recognized research,
evaluation, and technical assistance
center, and administered the last survey
process of the board. The Serve Center
is an UNCG affiliated organization. Video
