Black Get Back at UNC: De jure segregation continued at University of North Carolina with UNC-Greensboro Nanoscience degree authorizations on Erskine Bowles and Dr. Harold Martins watch?
“Although the degree is in Nanoscience (and 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 will be able to work on collaborative projects with
faculty in the School of Engineering.” [4]

The
1.4 Billion dollars question representing the potential loss of UNC
federal funding, did the University of North Carolina – the legal name
of the NC Board of Governors (BOG) - with statutory supervision of the
16 constituent public universities in the UNC-System – implement
segregationist policies of discrimination, separate and unequal dual
system of education, and denial of equal protection when it table
without consideration UNC Policy compliant NCAT/UNCG joint M.S.
and Ph.D. interdisciplinary Nanoscience degree programs with
authorization of stand-alone M.S. and Ph.D. interdisciplinary
Nanoscience degrees at the HWI University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG)
non-compliant with UNC
Guidelines for Academic
Program Development subsection (B.),
[24] dependant
on Nanoscience students be given the opportunity to take courses at the
School of engineering at HBI North Carolina A&T University and be able
to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of
Engineering, which UNC Policy for Academic Program Planning and
Evaluation pertaining to Interdisciplinary Degrees 400.1.1[R] says “
if more than one campus is involved in
offering the program it would also be a joint degree”,
which incorporate
the Erskine Bowles UNC General Administration managed Amended and
Restated Management Agreement (JSNN April 24, 2009) organizing
principle Nanoengineering degrees will be awarded by HBI NC A&T and
Nanoscience degrees will be awarded by HWI UNCG,
discriminating, depriving NC A&T of equal protection
and due process, enrollment growth funding, degree credit, and
benefit of prior appropriations for Nanoscience faculty.
Did
the Board of Governors use sound educational judgment when authorizing
stand-alone MS and PhD Nanoscience degrees at UNCG in conjunction with
the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at Gateway Research
Park when almost all of the occupations affected by nanotechnology will
require a B.S. in engineering with an understanding not only of
electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics and
chemistry as well

when excluding HBI NC A&T the Largest producers of black engineers in
the country from offering Nanoscience degrees and authorizing
stand-alone MS and PhD degrees at Liberal Arts HWI UNCG which doesn’t
offer engineering.

Did
the Board of Governors use sound educational judgment in excluding HBI
NC A&T from offering Nanoscience degrees and authorizing stand-alone MS
and PhD Nanoscience degrees at UNCG in conjunction with the Joint School
of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering when Nanoscience and Nanoengineering
are "nascent Nanoscale technologies still largely experimental"[23] when
"NC A&T has a 12-year history in Nanoresearch and two centers of
excellence for Nanotechnology and Nanoscience." wrote Sharlini Sankaran
for NCTechnology.com.
[3] and
conducted over 11 million dollars of Nanoscience research between
2000-05 compared to less than 45,000 dollars at UNC-Greensboro. [24]
Did
the NC Board of Governors’ having established a Ph.D. in Nanoscale
Science at HWI UNC-Charlotte, authorization of stand-alone Nanoscience
at UNCG excluding HBI NC A&T, subsequent authorization of M.S.
Nanoengineering degree at HBI NC A&T, actions constitute a denial of
equal protection to HBU NC A&T and implementation of a dual system of
education in-which Nanoscience degrees are awarded at UNC Historical
White Universities’ UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Greensboro and Nanoengineering
degrees at UNC Historical Black College NC A&T. How could HBI NC A&T build a distinct competitive Nanoengineering degree program facilitating HWI UNCG access to its School of engineering, faculty, courses, and research. And other than white privilege why is Liberal Arts HWI UNC-Greensboro in the Nanoscience picture?
