UNC Board of Governors did not designate NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus

There is one (sovereign) power, one God regardless the name, one King (of kings) and one King maker and I'm it -- said Jehovah-- who can it away from you or you away from it. All (HBCU) North Carolina A&T has is a little land and few degrees and they want to take that - defeat their plan.

North Carolina A&T Millennial Campus

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.

In 2003-04, with the backbone of North Carolina's industrial economy Tobacco, Textiles, and

Emerging from a legislative mandated study HB 1264 , Staying a Step Ahead, to ensure 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, explicitly referred to research clusters Public Health, Biotechnology, Bio & Food Sciences, Advanced Materials & nanotechnology, Computational Science & Engineering, Leadership & Community development, Information Sciences & Technology, Transportation & Logistics, and Energy & Environment created by HBCU NCA&T.

Nanotechnology : Nanoscience and Nanoengineering should have been NC A&T Signature programs

HB 1264 (6), says with regard to the University System, there shall be special emphasis on the development of signature programs for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

“Signature programs” have been defined as those that are distinctive, that build on existing strengths, that advance the institution’s profile, and that serve regional and/or state economic transformation needs."

Nanotechnology is not an industry. Rather, nanotechnology refers to a set of platform technologies that involve the assembly or manipulation of objects at a very small scale. These objects can create or use structures, devised or systems that have novel properties and functions because of their size. PCG/UNC/NCCS?HB1264UNC Final Recommendation.doc Page 7

Education and Skill Requirements
Almost all of the occupations which will be affected by nanotechnology will require a BS in engineering with a broad, interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach. Nanotechnology will require an understanding not only of electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics and chemistry as well.

NC A&T Awarded NSF Engineering Research Center

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.

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.

UNC-G August 31, 2006 Action Item: Master Plan for the South Campus of the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development, the Joint Millennial campus of UNCG and NC A&T

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Board of Trustees Business Affairs Committee August 31, 2006 Action Item: Master Plan for the South Campus of the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development, the Joint Millennial campus of UNCG and NC A&T was considered two month after May Board of Governors approval of Lease of alleged Joint Millennial Campus and three

John presented a power point presentation of findings of the consultant firm working on the Master Plan for the campus. John Merrill then requested approval from this Board of the Master Plan for the South Campus of the JMC (75 acres adjacent to the NC A&T Farm).

August 31, 2006 Action Item Background Information says " In January 2006, a ground Lease was approved and recommended for approval by the Board of Governors.. .of the properties identified as the JMC."

UNCG August 31, 2006 Action Item: Master Plan for the South Campus of the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development, the Joint Millennial campus of UNCG and NC A&T, clearly associated UNC Board of Governors un-law ground lease of Identified Joint Millennial Campus as alleged NCGS: 116-198.34.

Adopt Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual, Policy on Millennial Campuses

Situation: The UNC Policy Manual does not address the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and additional millennial campuses. The proposed Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual will define the Board’s authority in support of G.S. 116-198.31

Background: The Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and the Millennial Campus Financing Act (G.S. 116-198.31) provided the Board certain authorities over the financing and development of the Centennial Campus at North Carolina State University, the Horace Williams Campus at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and additional millennial campuses designated by the Board at other constituent institutions. The UNC Policy Manual has not been updated to include the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, or other millennial campuses. Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual will be added to clarify the Board’s authority over millennial campus designation, as well as approvals related to issuing debt, acquisition and disposition of real property, capital projects, public-private partnership projects (P3 projects), and other related matters at the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and designated millennial campuses.

The policy also includes a requirement for annual reporting on millennial campus activities, including debt issuance, real property transactions, millennial campus real property and capital assets, and status of capital projects.

Assessment: The proposed Section 600.1.6 of the UNC Policy Manual, Policy on Millennial Campuses, is needed to define and clarify the Board’s authority for the Centennial Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and other designated millennial campuses and to define the Board’s authority to approve millennial campus designations and related capital and real property transactions and capital projects, emphasis added.

Assessment clearly indicate Board Governors' failed enact procedures to authorize designation of Millennial Campuses.

UNC Board of Governors' bogus alleged NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus designation, killed NCA&T University Millennial at (NC A&T Farm) 2900 East Lee Street Greensboro, NC; forced HBCU NC A&T into a shotgun bogus Joint Millennial Campus with across town HWI UNC-Greensboro; Kill NC A&T Memorandum of Understandting with the USDA.

NCGS § 146-28. Agency must file application with Department; Department must investigate.

Any State agency desiring to sell, lease, or rent any land owned by the State or by any State agency shall file with the Department of Administration an application setting forth the facts relating to the proposed transaction, and shall furnish the Department with such additional information as the Department may request relating thereto. Upon receipt of such application, the Department of Administration shall promptly investigate all aspects of the proposed transaction, including particularly present and future State need for the land proposed to be conveyed, leased, or rented.
