| HMI NC A&T was designated "for Negroes" state university in engineering, technology, Agriculture, etc in North Carolina prior to 1972 when the legislature expanded the University of North Carolina beyond the three original campuses, UNC-Chapel, UNC-Greensboro, and NC State. The 1.4 Billion dollars plus question representing potential loss of UNC Federal research and Title IV funding, did University of North Carolina – the legal name of the unelected NC Board of Governors (BOG) - with statutory supervision of the 16 constituent public universities in the UNC-System – implement segregationist policies of dual system of education, discrimination, and denial of equal protection and due process when it table without consideration UNC Policy compliant Request to Establish NCA&T/UNCG joint M.S. and Ph.D. interdisciplinary Nanoscience degrees. Excluding HBI North Carolina A&T University authorized stand-alone M.S. and Ph.D. interdisciplinary Nanoscience degrees at the HWI UNC-Greensboro requiring Nanoscience “students be given the opportunity to take relevant courses at the School of Engineering at North Carolina A&T University (NCA&T) and be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering” that incorporate UNC-Greensboro (UNCG) will offer Nanoscience degrees and NCA&T will offer Nanoengineering degrees. Authorizations non-compliant with established UNC Policy in Academic Program Planning and Evaluation pertaining to Interdisciplinary Degree 400.1.1[R] ”which says “ If more than one campus is involved in offering the program it would also be a joint degree. In doing so preventing NCA&T from offering Nanoscience degrees which established UNC Policy says should be joint degrees, depriving it of enrollment growth funding, degree credit, and benefit of prior appropriations for Nanoscience faculty while facilitating cross town HWI Liberal Arts UNCG use HBI NCA&T’s curriculum, faculty, and research, to establish competitive Nanoscience program. |

| UNCG did not request stand alone UNC Policy Compliant Nanoscience MS and PhD degrees. UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B) says Chancellors of constituent institutions shall communicate to General Administration of the University Request for authorization to establish a new degree program. UNC Policy Manual 400.1.1,1[G] UNC Nanoscience discipline filed lacked UNC Chancellor signed request to establish stand alone UNCG MS and Ph.D. in Nanoscience. Record Request to Dr. David H. Perrin UNCG Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor,1/7/11, for a copy of an UNCG Chancellor signed request to establish stand alone Masters and PhD Nanoscience degrees at UNCG reply was "In response to your request of 1/7/11, no such documents as you described exists."

In 2008 and 2009 NCA&T and UNCG submitted UNC Policy compliant
joint NCAT/UNCG Requests to Establish Ph.D. and M.S. Interdisciplinary
Nanoscience degrees pursuant a JSNN Management Agreement (dated
March 03, 2008) - a formal agreement to offer a program of study
required by UNC policy for interdisciplinary degrees, Regulations for
Academic Program Planning and Evaluation [400.1.1[R]
].
The Erskine Bowles- UNC-General Administration (GA) referencing a
document titled Joint Program Reporting Requirements dated 12/1/08 informed NCA&T and the UNCG the original Memorandum Agreement between the two institutions...is contrary to methods now recommended by General Administration. As such, the Memorandum (Management Agreement) from March 3, 2008 needs to be revised, updated, and reapproved, signed off on by Dr. Harold Martin, Sr. then GA VP for academic affairs and now chancellor at NCA&T and others. Notwithstanding the dictates of UNC Policy Regulations for Academic Program Planning and Evaluation for Interdisciplinary degrees involving two or more campuses being joint degrees the Bowles-UNC-GA managed revised, updated, and re-approved JSNN Management Agreement (April 24, 2009) excluded HBU NCA&T from the Nanoscience degrees with an organization requirement Nanoscience degrees be awarded by UNCG and Nanoengineering degrees be awarded by NCA&T incorporated into the UNCG Nanoscience degrees. NCA&T chancellor Dr. Stanly Battle resigned. "To the best of my knowledge, there is no such document”, said, Ms. Joni Worthington UNC-GA VP responding to an investigative Public Record request for the UNC Joint Program Reporting Official Rules and Procedures. |

A&T is the Black Cat That Catches Mice In 2011 HBCU North Carolina A&T for the seventh consecutive year had the third highest amount of research funding of the 16-member University of North Carolina with 56 million dollars trailing only NC flag ship universities North Carolina-Chapel Hill and N.C. State. NC A&T’s engineering and technology prowess hasn't gone unnoticed on the national level. In 2006 in the category of Doctorial Granting Universities NC A&T was rated as a High Research University in the Carnegie Foundation classification of colleges and universities. In 2008 NC A&T received an 18 Million dollar grant for an Engineering Research Center (ECR) from the National Science foundation. The award to A&T marked the first time that an HBCU has been the lead institution of an ERC |

UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B) requires chancellor of the constituent institutions to communicate to General Administration a University’s Request for Authorization to Establish a New Degree Program requiring the chancellor signature. Chancellor’s signature on the proposal certified the new degree program had been reviewed and approved by the appropriate campus committees and authorities. With regard to the UNCG M.S. and Ph.D. Nanoscience degree authorizations, based on investigative Public records request, Dr. James Sadler Associate Vice President for Academic Planning (GA) solicited a new degree request from Dean Dr. James Ryan. Dr. James Ryan, an UNCG& NCA&T employee, created a unsigned PDF named Nano_master's_degree_proposal_-_Revised_10-9-09.pdf whose subject matter was "UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA at GREENSBORO Request for a New Degree Program" and submitted it to Dr. James Sadler and others. The Ryan PDF incorporated Nanoscience degrees be awarded by UNCG and Nanoengineering degrees be awarded by NCA&T. The 24-page Ryan “Nano_master's_degree_proposal_-_Revised_10-9-09.pdf” was placed in the Nanoscience discipline file and re-titled UNCG Revised Proposal. A summary from Ryan’s PDF was taken to the BOG by the Erskine Bowles GA to establish the UNCG M.S. and Ph.D. Nanoscience degrees in doing so excluded NCA&T from the Nanoscience M.S. and Ph.D. authorization. No such documents exists was the response to an investigate Public Record request to UNCG for chancellor signed Request to Establish Nanoscience M.S. and Ph.D. degree at UNCG. The UNCG M.S. Ph.D. Nanoscience degree authorization are undisputable non-compliant with UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B).
