Background:
G.S. 116-198 Article 21B: The Centennial
Campus, the Horace Williams Campus, and the
Millennial Campuses Financing Act define the
process for seeking the Millennial Campus
designation. The legislation states that the
Board of Governors may act on
recommendations by the President of The
University of North Carolina after
consultation with the Chancellor and the
Board of Trustees of a constituent
institution to designate real property held
by, or to be acquired by, a constituent
institution as a Millennial Campus of the
institution. |
|
That
designation shall be based on an express
finding by the Board of Governors that the
institution desiring to create a Millennial
Campus has the administrative and fiscal
capability to create and maintain such a
campus. Furthermore, the Board of Governors
has found that creating the constituent
institution’s Millennial Campus will enhance
the university’s research, teaching, and
service missions, as well as enhance the
economic development of the region served by
the institution. |
|
Assessment indicated
the Millennial Campus concept has been widely and
successfully used by NCSU, UNC-CH, NCA&T/UNCG, ASU, ECU,
UNCC, UNCW, and WCU. The expansion of the
Millennial Campus would not alter the level of oversight
required by the Board of Governors for UNCG property
transactions.
A
Millennial Campus is Real Property designated by UNC Board
of Governors pursuant NCGS116-198.34 (8b) ....of a
constituent institution. Assessment did not indicate any previous
Board of Governor designated UNC Greensboro Millennial
Campus. Clearly
alleged NCA&T/UNCG millennial campus is the "millennial
Campus referred to expanding. |
