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. It 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.” |
