Budget Priorities November 10, 2006 called for Pending
Board of Governors approval, funding for the creation of
a joint Graduate School of Nanoscience and
Nanoengineering at NCA&T and UNC-G's Millennium
Campus. |
UNC BOG
Committee on Budget and Finance, April 2006,
approved recommending 1.3 million dollars for planning a
Biotechnology Building at NCA&T to full BOG. Proposed
facility would enable NCA&T to support
ongoing and expanding research activities in
bioengineering, biotechnology, and biomedicine. NC
A&T' biotechnology program is interdisciplinary and will
incorporate research activities currently housed in the College
of Engineering, College
of Arts and Sciences, and School
of Agriculture and Environment Sciences. The
Total cost of this project is $25 Million dollars. |

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. |

Nanotechnology. Definition:
A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical,
scientific, and engineering principles and technical skills
to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular level (in
the range of 1-100 nanometers) and to design, fabricate, and
integrate nanoscale structures, devices, and systems.
Includes instruction in materials science, thermodynamics,
nanomaterials, Nano electronics, and nano/micro device
fabrication and testing. [https://nces.ed.gov/search/?q=nano+science] |

Black Land Grant NC A&T was listed as University focus on
Nanotechnology May 2005.

University of North Carolina at Greensboro
2008-2009 Profile |
|
|
Historical black North Carolina A&T, as 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” . |

UNC Board of Governors January 2007
authorized UNC Charlotte, which has an
Engineering School, to offer a Ph.D. in
Nanoscale Science. Offering Nanoscale
Science was not a Substantial Change
as defined by the SACS for UNC
Charlotte. Nov. 2012 UNC Board of
Governors authorized a Master’s in
Nanoengineering to Land Grant
Institution NC State, which has an
Engineering. Offering Nanoengineering
was not a Substantial Change as defined
by the SACS for NC State.
Consistent with other engineering
schools in the UNC System offering
Nanoscience and Nanoengineering
(Material Science) programs are
not Substantial Changes as defined by
the SACS and consistent
with the education, curricular, mission
and goals of NC A&T State University.
No liberal arts school offered
Nanotechnology degrees in the UNC System |

Dr. Alan Mabe Senor Vice
President for Academic
Affairs April 28, 2009 to Ed
Planning, Ph.D. Memorandum
degree proposals indicate
NC A&T plan to offer
Nanoscience and Material
Science (Nanoengineering). |
|
|
|
|
For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with doctorial programs in
music and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees requires
access to NC A&T academic programs and research: “Although
the degree is in Nanoscience (does not include
Nanoengineering),
students will be given the opportunity to take relevant
courses at the School of Engineering at North Carolina
A&T University and must be able to work on collaborative
projects with faculty in the School of Engineering. |
Unlike land grant cross-town historical Black
NCA&T with strong programs in engineering
offering Nanoscience constituted a Substantive
Change as defined by SACS from previous approved
circular at historical white women UNCG with
strong programs in liberal Arts. (UNCG)
Rebecca Adams to (SACS) Tom Benberg: Sarah
Armstrong Subject: Request for interpretation of
accuracy of nanoscience message, April 13, 2010:
The bottom line, however, is that we need to
submit a full prospectus and need to do so as
soon as possible. This request will be for
approval to initiate a new off-campus site
(South Campus) and to initiate a new degree
program (MS in Nanoscience) at that site. Contrary
to previous interpretations, both represent
substantive changes.. Due to the confusion,
they are willing to waive the requirement that
we do so 6 months in advance and will usher it
though the approval process in a timely way so
that we can accept students into UNC-G's MS in
Nanoscience program next fall |
