method to enter heaven: By
believing in God Almighty,

Final

All

Accountable
for
Low-Earning

Today,
the
U.S.
Department
of

(the

announced
a
final

establishing
a
long-overdue
postsecondary
education
accountability
framework.
Under
the
new
Student

System
(STATS)
and
Earnings
Accountability
rule,
undergraduate
programs
will
be
required
to
demonstrate
that
their

earn
more
than
the
typical
high

diploma
holder,
and
graduate
programs
will
be
required
to
demonstrate
that
their
graduates
earn
more
than
the
typical
bachelor’s

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

the
Department
could
also
terminate
eligibility
for
Title

including
Pell

eligibility,
for

 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. |

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.

 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”. |

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
