The first campus building will focus on
training and education for healthcare
professions.
Nursing education at
Union Square Campus will engage students
at every level: 2-year Associates
Degree, RN to BSN and accelerated
BSN programs, Doctor of Nursing
Practice, and continuing education
certificate programs.
The initial key stakeholder/tenants:
UNCG, NCA&T, GTCC, and Cone Health.
The space would house
expansion of the
university nursing programs, community
college nursing programs, and training
facilities for Cone Health.
The approximately 105,000 square foot
building is estimated to cost between
$37- 40 million including land,
infrastructure and equipment. It will be
a cornerstone of the broader Union
Square at South Elm project and serve as
a stimulus for surrounding mixed use
private development.
"Harold Martin and Linda Brady are huge
proponents of this and they are not here
tonight, because there is a reason, that
is they are in Wilmington, NC actually
talking to public and private college
through out the state of North Carolina
about Opportunity Greensboro the
cooperation between business and higher
education institution here and this very
project, that's what they are doing
tonight and that's why they couldn't be
here" said Ed Kitchen, Co-chair
Union Square Campus & former Greensboro
City Manager.

*UNCG DNP enrollment 232 overstates

# Lease Maximum Cost |
Combining
Union square public record information
and figures in the public domain, based
on maximum lease costs,
 leases will cost
NC A&T $6000 , GTCC $$4, 200 and UNCG $
9,500 per enrollee but will only cost
Cone Health 168 per enrollee. Cone
Health 2,800 enrollees is seven times
the Public University enrollment whose
lease fee of $470,000 is the least lease
fee for a token 500 sq. ft. of fixed
space. A&T will receive only 3000
sq. ft. while GTCC will receive 6,000
sq. ft. of fixed space for the
same
Lease fee of $587,500. UNCG
enrollment of 232 is two hundred
enrollee greater than the 32 students
projected in their request to establish
DNP degree which also said the
university could house the program for
three years using existing facilities.
Furthermore
UNC Board of Governors 2015-16 &
2016-17 Strategic Capital Priorities
call for spending $124,765,400 for UNCG

DOA and
Council of
State to
enter a

construct
academic,
laboratory
and support
facilities
for the
benefit of
the

which would
then be
leased back
to the
Universities
for a lease
term of ten
years. It
is
anticipated
that the
space would
be available
by fall 2016
and a would
allow for
the

NCA&TSU anticipates leasing
approximately 25,000 sq. ft. at
between $18 and $23.50 per sq. ft.
per year. Total yearly lease
payments would be between $450,000
and $587,500. This space would house
enrollment expansion in the Bachelor
of Science in nursing program and
allow current students more access
to state-of-the-art laboratory
space.
UNCG anticipates to lease
approximately 33,000 sq. ft. at
between $18 and $23.50 per sq. ft.
per year. Total yearly lease
payments would be between $594,000
and $775,500. This space would house
the new Doctor of Nursing Practice
program, approved by the Board of
Governors on February 21, 2014, as
well as enrollment expansion in the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
program.
The facility is intended to focus on
healthcare professionals and will
house expansion of the Universities’
programs in nursing, and
Greensboro’s healthcare system, Cone
Health, will use the facility to
train staff.
It is recommended that North
Carolina A&T State University be
approved to lease up to 25,000
square feet at no more than $587,500
a year for 10 years and that The
University of North Carolina at

Also, April 10, 2014, UNC Board of Governors'

Nursing (NCLEX-RN) report for academic year 2013.
Board Policy has requirement that the President will ask
the Board to initiate program termination procedures for any
program having first-time passing rate of less that 75% for
two consecutive years. Report said NC A&T did not achieve
the BoG minimum pass rate of 85% for two consecutive years.
Two campuses were below the BoG standards for one year (NCCU
& Appalachian State) and UNC-GA notified them of the need to
improve exam results in 2014. Chancellor Harold
Martin's NC A&T did not achieve the BoG minimum pass
rate of 85% for four consecutive years. UNC-GA expects
continued improvement in the program based on the updated
(NC
 A&T)
corrective action plan and will continue to closely monitor
the school's progress. UNC President Thomas Ross
non-complaint with Board Policy did not request the
Board initial procedures for NC A&T Nursing program
termination. Notwithstanding President Ross had not
requested the Board initiate termination procedures the
Board on its own Motion move that new admissions to the
nursing program be suspended for all students admitted after
2014 and a panel convened within sixty (60) days to review
possible program elimination at North Carolina A&T State
University. |

Committee on Educational
Planning, Policies, and Programs
April 10, 2014
Ms. Joni Worthington Vice President
for Communications UNC General
Administration
In its April 2014 meeting, the
University of North Carolina (UNC)
Board of Governors completed its
annual review of the National
Council Licensure Examination for
Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN)
first-time writers’ pass rates for
graduates of the nursing programs
across the University system.
Subsequent to that review and in
keeping with UNC Board of Governors
policy 400.1.7, the Board
suspended new admissions to the BSN
program at North Carolina
Agricultural & Technical State
University (NCA&T) after 2014 and
called for a full review of the
program, emphasis added.
|
Specifically, the motion approved
by the Board was as follows:
|
|
“The 2013 Nursing Report is for
informational purposes only and does
not require a motion to accept.
However, in 2012 North Carolina A&T
State University received a waiver
from the Board of Governors’ policy
which would have required the
initiation of program termination
procedures. This waiver was granted
under the condition that North
Carolina A&T State University 2013
test takers would meet Board of
Governors’ NCLEX-RN passing rate
standards. I move that new
admissions to the nursing program be
suspended for all students admitted
after 2014 and a panel convened
within sixty days to review possible
program elimination at North
Carolina A&T State University.”
In his May 2014 charge to the review
team, UNC President Tom Ross
requested “a full and comprehensive
review of program strengths and
weaknesses, student demand and
employer need for additional
baccalaureate nurses, the full costs
of program delivery, and potential
net savings (or losses) to the
institution, the system, the state,
and employers of full or
partial program closure.”

April 10, 2014, UNC Board of

Planning, Policies, and Programs
received the 2014 annual Nursing
(NCLEX-RN) report for academic year
2013 whose minutes allege : "After
representatives from North Carolina
A&T State University responded to
Committee questions, and after
Committee discussion, Mr. Mitchell
made the following motion ...."
|
 NCA&T
Executive Committee Meeting
Minutes April 25, 2014 allege:
Chancellor Martin shared that Mrs.
Williams was in attendance and
neither of them were given an
opportunity to make remarks about
the program prior to the motion
being made. That shut down the
program (nursing) would have gone
against the policy. Mr. Deese
suggested that the Board of Trustees
send a letter to the BOG about our
discontent about their willingness
to breach policy and do A&T damage.

other parties.
Notwithstanding
HBCU NCA&T
lease fee of
$587,500 was the same amount as GTCC; NCA&T
3000 sq. ft. of
fixed space was half GTCC
6000 sq. ft. of fixed spaced. UNCG
received 12,000 sq. ft.
of fixed space for an annual lease fee of
$775,000, four time more fixed space than NCA&T
3,000 sq. ft. of fixed space for only $188,000
more annual lease fee. Cone Heath annual
lease fee of $ 470,000 for 500 sq. ft of fixed
space was the least of the Leases; whose
projected enrollment of 2,800 staff member
constituted 81 % of the total enrollment.
