Banality of Evil -- Conceived in bigotry and nourished on the twin fronts of prejudice and injustice, the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering  located on UNC Board of Governors bogus NCGS: 116-198.34. (8b) NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus,  UNC at Greensboro affiliate,  Gateway University Research Park, - in Greensboro, NC.   When all of the occupations which will be affected by nanotechnology will require a BS in engineering with a broad, interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach; will require an understanding not only of electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, but biology, physics and chemistry as well. Why is liberal Arts UNC Greensboro in the Nanoscience picture, except for unvarnished racism.

“The Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering...built on the major nanotechnology research activity that had been established at nearby Wake Forest and at NC A&T [1]
“It [JSNN] will be one of the most stimulating opportunities in the history of the area and will serve as a national model for collaboration between two institutions, one a historical black institution and the other a historical white female institution.” [3] The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering will be a unique, interdisciplinary school, located at the South Campus of the Gateway University Research Park, the joint millennial campus of NC A&T and UNCG' [3]...“The building would include the academic departments, laboratory facilities (teaching and research), and centers and institutes of the new School as well as selected centers and institutes currently located at the partner universities. [3]Emphasis added

University of North Carolina at Greensboro  2007-2008 Profile


Historical black North Carolina A&T, as one of the state's two land grant institutions, has programs through the 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” .
 
For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with doctorial programs in music and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees  requires access to NC A&T academic programs and research:  “Although the degree is in Nanoscience (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 must be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering.
 
 
North Carolina, like other Southern states, relied on slavery to build its economy during the 18th and 19th centuries.

UNC Greensboro white Privilege Nanoscience degrees

 

NC A&T/UNCG submitted Joint Request for authorization to Establish” Ph.D. in Nanoscience” dated Oct. 10, 2008 to UNC General Administration and Joint Request for authorization to establish “Master of Science (in Nanoscience)” dated Nov. 21, 2008  to UNC General Administration.
 
The University of North Carolina Board of Governors authorized HWI UNC Greensboro Nanoscience MS and Gateway University Research Park, Inc. on November 13, 2009 and  PhD program in Nanoscience on January 8, 2010 to UNCG. 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”.  Excluding (The) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State university from offering  MS and PhD Nanoscience degrees, forcing the HBCU out of the JSNN Mission to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree. And depriving NC A&T benefit Nanoscience funding.
Chancellor signature certifies proposal [UNC Policy Manual 400.1.5(G)] to establish new degree program was reviewed and approved by the appropriate campus committees and authorities.
 
Response to Public records 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,  Counsel Steve Serck responded  "In response to your request of 1/7/11, no such documents as you described exists." 
 
Unambiguous lack of UNCG Chancellor Dr. Linda Brady signed Proposals requesting  to establish Nanoscience Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience and Ph.D. Nanoscience clearly demonstrated UNCG had not expressed intentions to establish the degrees, they had not been approved by the faculty and administration, and were not pursuant UNC Policies 400.1.1,1[G]and 400.1.1.5[G], and did not officially originate from UNC Greensboro. 
 

Requests to UNC-GA for a UNCG Request to Plan a PhD and Request to Establish a standalone PhD in Nanoscience proscribed by UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B)  related to degree authorization  Ms. Joni Worthington (UNC-GA) Vice President for Communications UNC General Administration  responded to a  public record request for a UNCG Chancellor signed request to plan and establish a PhD in Nanoscience said: “Dr. Alan Mabe in his capacity as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs determined: 

·         UNCG was not required to submit a new request to plan a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint proposal submitted by UNCG and NCA&T was deemed sufficient for the campus to move forward with planning a stand-alone degree program.
 

·         UNCG was not required to submit a new request to establish a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint request submitted by UNCG and NCA&T, which had already been recommended for approval by the UNC Graduate Council, was deemed sufficient for Board consideration. The Board of Governors concurred with that determination in approving the establishment of the program.  (E-mail 10.08. 2010) “

 

Stealing NC A&T Praise
 

Ask (then )UNC President Erskine Bowles, Dr. Alan Mabe, Dr. Alton Thompson,  Dr. David H. Perrin, Dr. James Ryan and NC A&T Chancellor Harold Martin where are NC A&T Nanoscience degrees?
 
Dr. James Sadler Associate Vice President for Academic Planning University of North Carolina :
December 9, 2009

UNC Graduate Council recommends authorization of the joint PhD.

Clearly  UNC Board of Governors and UNC General Administration exploited HBCU
constituent NC A&T Engineering circular and research to establish Nanoscience MS and  Ph.D. at cross-town white constituent UNC Greensboro and UNCG affiliate Gateway University Research Park, Inc. .

“A Promise for the Future by some accounts, nanotechnology is destined to replace much of today's technology. Gateway University Research Park expects to be at the forefront of these new technologies with the creation of a new institution, The Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN). ”  emphasis added [8]
In addition to degree programs in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, JSNN will engage in research and outreach, as well as the expected roles of  a land-grant institution, such as teaching agriculture and engineering, and providing cooperative extension services.  The JSNN facilities will be located on land that was formerly part of the NC A&T farm.

In 2003-04, with the backbone of North Carolina's industrial economy Tobacco, Textiles, and Furniture outsourced, in decline/recession or outsourced with appropriations for UNC-System taking an ever increasing multi-billion dollar bite out of state's coffers, North Carolina's Legislature thru House Bill 1264 (HB 1264) direct UNC-BOG and COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM  to contract a private consulting firm that had experience in  higher education to conduct a comprehensive study (Staying a step  ahead) of the mission and educational program needs to ensure that the State's citizens are academically prepared and equipped for current job opportunities and jobs of the future in North Carolina's growing knowledge economy.
 
HB 1264 (6),  says with regard to the University System, there shall be special emphasis on the development of signature programs for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
 
“Signature programs” have been defined as those that are distinctive, that build on existing strengths, that advance the institution’s profile, and that serve regional and/or state economic transformation needs."
 
“Expertise in nanotechnology may become a prerequisite for many scientists and engineers that support a wide variety of industries, nano expertise among the North Carolina science and engineering workforce may soon become a competitive advantage issue for the state.
 
It is predicted that nano scale science will change the nature of almost every human-made product this century. This field has great potential applications in materials, medicine, electronics, optics, data storage, advanced manufacturing, environment, energy, and national security. Some specific applications include: lightweight new materials with greatly improved strength and wear characteristics; ultra-dense computer memory; better drug design and better drug and gene delivery; sensing applications for agricultural, biological, chemical and homeland security applications; improved catalysts for the chemical and automotive industries; new materials to improve fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions; and improved batteries and energy efficient processes for energy technologies. Nanoscale materials already find use in numerous pharmaceutical, catalytic, electronic, magnetic, optoelectronic, biomedical, cosmetic and energy applications." [ 12] 
 

"NC A&T has 12-years of experience in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology”[9]

 
NC A&T is "well known in areas such as advanced materials, nanotechnology,, computational science, and says N. Radhakrishnan, former VP for research and economic development at N.C. A&T. The school also has significant strengths in other areas, including biotechnology, energy and the environment, information sciences and technology, logistics and transportation development. 
All these endeavors are aligned in eight research  clusters that bring faculty together across disciplines to develop large research projects. These research clusters run in parallel with a number of multidisciplinary centers and institutes at N.C. A&T,  which develop partnerships with private and corporate sponsors, educational institutions, and government agencies. [10]
 
Nanotechnology is Experimental
NC A&T State University has been funded at an average rate of $3-5 million per year in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Most of the research in nanoengineering is done in the Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS). Several Centers and projects are under CAMSS, including the NSF Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), the DoD Center for Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and Multifunctional Materials (CNN) for Homeland Security, the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), the NSF project on US/Europe Materials Collaboration: Self-Organized Nanostructured Thin Films for Catalysis, the NSF project on Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRT), the NSF Major Research Instrumentation for Nanoengineering Research, and the NSF Nanotechnology Undergraduate Education (NUE) program. CAMSS also facilitates many of the materials research activities of the NASA-National Institute for Aerospace (NIA). In addition, the Center for Composite Materials Research (CCMR) does research in nano-enhanced composite materials and the Army Center of Excellence for Battlefield Capability Enhancements (Flexible Displays) does research in material characterization and development of novel displays. [3]
 

NC A&T was 4th in Nanotechnology Research at North Carolina Universities with $11 Million Dollars between 2000-2005. In 2003 A&T, NATO Sponsor Material Symposium in Ukraine.

 
Staying a Step Ahead (HB 1264(7)(2003-04)) the Legislature mandated the Board of Governors emphasized existing and new programs at Liberal Arts  Universities specifically aimed at meeting business, industry, workforce, and career needs of North Carolina in the State's changing and growing knowledge-based economy, taking into account, as appropriate, State and regional economic strategies.

Historical black North Carolina A&T, as one of the state's two land grant institutions, has programs through the 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” .
 
For Liberal Arts UNC Greensboro with doctorial programs in music and nursing to offer Nanoscience degrees  requires access to NC A&T academic programs and research:  “Although the degree is in Nanoscience (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 must be able to work on collaborative projects with faculty in the School of Engineering.

Unlike land grant cross-town historical Black NC A&T with strong programs in engineering offering Nanoscience constituted a Substantive Change as defined by SACS from previous approved circular at historical white women UNCG with strong programs in liberal Arts.   (UNCG) Rebecca Adams to (SACS) Tom Benberg: Sarah Armstrong Subject: Request for interpretation of accuracy of nanoscience message, April 13, 2010:

The bottom line, however, is that we need to submit a full prospectus and need to do so as soon as possible. This request will be for approval to initiate a new off-campus site (South Campus) and to initiate a new degree program (MS in Nanoscience) at that site. Contrary to previous interpretations, both represent substantive changes.. Due to the confusion, they are willing to waive the requirement that we do so 6 months in advance and will usher it though the approval process in a timely way so that we can accept students into UNCG's MS in Nanoscience program next fall.


 

NC A&T/UNCG submitted Joint Request for authorization to Establish” Ph.D. in Nanoscience” dated Oct. 10, 2008 to UNC General Administration and Joint Request for authorization to establish “Master of Science (in Nanoscience)” dated Nov. 21, 2008  to UNC General Administration.
Clearly unnecessary duplication, when across-town Liberal Art UNC Greensboro with programs in music and nursing, requiring relevant courses be taken 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”,  except for unvarnished racism offering Nanotechnology degrees?
United States v. Fordice, 505 U.S. 717 (1992) a United States Supreme Court case that resulted in an eight to one ruling that the eight public universities in Mississippi had not sufficiently integrated and that the state must take affirmative action to change this under the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI.    This is not a legal setting but context comparison UNC BOG & SOCS policies in light of the selected text held in UNITED STATES v. FORDICE, GOVERNOR OF MISSISSIPPI :
 

..If the State perpetuates policies and practices traceable to its prior de jure dual system that continue to have segregative effects ...implicit in the court’s finding of “unnecessary” duplication is the absence of any educational justification ....and such policies are without sound educational justification and can be practicably eliminated, implicated the Equal Protection clause... , emphasis added.

Notwithstanding UNC board of Governors May 2007 authorized JSNN to offer to offer NC A&T/UNCG joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degrees and joint professional science master's degrees.

The University of North Carolina Board of Governors authorized HWI UNC Greensboro Nanoscience MS and Gateway University Research Park, Inc. on November 13, 2009 and  PhD program in Nanoscience on January 8, 2010 to UNCG 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”.  Excluding (The) North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State university from offering  MS and PhD Nanoscience degrees, forcing the HBCU out of the JSNN Mission to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree. And depriving NC A&T benefit Nanoscience funding.
Unambiguous UNC Board of Governors /UNC General Administration exploited HBCU NC A&T Engineering circular and research to establish Nanoscience MS and  Ph.D. at cross-town white UNC Greensboro.

UNC Board of Governors Minutes May 2006

 
The North Carolina A&T State University and the UNC Greensboro Joint  School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering.  Dr.  Priscilla P.  Taylor (Cemala Foundation) reported that the Greensboro and greater Triad community are solidly behind this proposal and see it as an important step that will have significant impact on economic development in the region. The master's and doctoral degree programs will follow the ordinary approval process and will be separately considered by the committee
 
Examining Nanoscience discipline file at www.northcarolina.edu :

 

1.      The discipline  file contained no UNCG Notification to plan a master’s in Nanoscience,

2.      The discipline file contained an unsigned “Revised UNCG Request to Establish a Master’s in Nanoscience,

3.      The discipline file contained no UNCG Request to plan a PhD in Nanoscience

4.      The discipline file contained no UNCG Request to Established a PhD in Nanoscience

 

Chancellor signature certifies proposal [UNC Policy Manual 400.1.5(G)] to establish new degree program was reviewed and approved by the appropriate campus committees and authorities.
Responding to a Public records 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,  Counsel Steve Serck responded  "In response to your request of 1/7/11, no such documents as you described exists." 
Unambiguous lack of UNCG Chancellor Dr. Linda Brady signed Proposals requesting  to establish Nanoscience Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience and Ph.D. Nanoscience clearly demonstrated UNCG had not expressed intentions to establish the degrees, they had not been approved by the faculty and administration, and were not pursuant UNC Policies 400.1.1,1[G]and 400.1.1.5[G], and did not officially originate from UNC Greensboro. 

A degree program is a program of study in a discipline specialty that leads to a degree in that distinct specialty area at a particular level of instruction.   As a general rule, in order to be considered for degree program status, a course of study should require at least 27 semester hours in the proposed program area at the undergraduate level; at least half the number of hours required for the degree at the master’s level; and at least 21 hours in the proposed program area at the doctoral level. [Adopted 05/06/09]
Notwithstanding  the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), categorized Nanoscience as CIP 15.1601 Engineering Technologies and Engineering-Related Fields.  UNC General Administration applied  CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering . Note UNC-G has a School of  Arts and Science.
 Note Fall 2005 UNC Presidency transition from President Molly Broad  to Erskine Bowles.

Professional Master of Science in Nanoscience
The 33-hour, non-thesis MS in Nanoscience follows the Professional Master of Science degree model, featuring course work in Nanoscience and business and an internship to provide practical experience.
 

UNC General Administration applied  
CIP 40.9999 (Physical Science) to UNCG academic offering determined UNC at Greensboro offered only a Master in Chemistry on the graduate level in the category of Physical Science.
 
Unambiguous a degree in Chemistry is not a degree in Nanoscience. UNC Greensboro academic inventory was substantially below the general rule of at least half the number of hours required  for discipline  [Nanoscience] degree at the master’s level.

 

Doctor of Philosophy in Nanoscience
The PhD in Nanoscience requires a minimum of 60 hours and is designed to prepare students to take positions in industrial, governmental, or academic research settings by providing a solid background in Nanoscience theory and experimental techniques through course work and dissertation research.
 


The PhD program will include a core interdisciplinary curriculum that provides a thorough background in the principles and tools required for a research career in nanoscience.
 
”The addition of a doctoral program is not an easy or simple extension of the master’s program. Unlike most master’s programs, a doctoral program is research-based. While doctoral program requirements routinely include additional course work, the central program requirement is the dissertation. The topic for the dissertation normally derives from discussion with faculty who are engaged in research and therefore knowledgeable about the “frontier of knowledge” in the discipline. For a faculty member to then properly guide and assist the student’s dissertation research, that faculty member must be an active researcher. Hence, the implementation of a doctoral program must be preceded by the assembling of faculty who are conducting publishable research in that discipline. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PROGRAM DUPLICATION STUDY Submitted by James H. Woodward  November 1, 2011 p12]  
 
NCA&T was 4th in Funding in Nanotechnology Research at North Carolina Universities with $11 Million Dollars between 2000-2005. UNC at Greensboro 10th among the 11 institutions conducted $45,000 dollars of Nanotechnology research between 2000 thru 2005.
Erskine Bowles UNC General Administration categorizing Nanoscience Ph.D. as a Physical Science; examining UNC Greensboro curricula for similar Physical Science Ph.D.  programs determined:

 UNC Greensboro offer no similar Ph.D. programs.

 
Clearly  UNC Board of Governors and UNC General Administration exploited HBCU NC A&T Engineering circular and research to establish Nanoscience MS and  Ph.D. at cross-town white UNC Greensboro.


Requests to UNC-GA for a UNCG Request to Plan a PhD and Request to Establish a standalone PhD in Nanoscience proscribed by UNC Guidelines for Academic Program Development subsection (B)  related to degree authorization  Ms. Joni Worthington (UNC-GA) Vice President for Communications UNC General Administration  responded to a  public record request for a UNCG Chancellor signed request to plan and establish a PhD in Nanoscience said: “Dr. Alan Mabe in his capacity as Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs determined: 

·         UNCG was not required to submit a new request to plan a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint proposal submitted by UNCG and NCA&T was deemed sufficient for the campus to move forward with planning a stand-alone degree program.
 

·         UNCG was not required to submit a new request to establish a Ph.D. in Nanoscience. The joint request submitted by UNCG and NCA&T, which had already been recommended for approval by the UNC Graduate Council, was deemed sufficient for Board consideration. The Board of Governors concurred with that determination in approving the establishment of the program.  (E-mail 10.08. 2010) “

 

The President [shall] promulgate regulations to implement Board of Governors Policy.

Pursuant  JSNN Management Agreement March 03, 2008 Curriculum Approval Process JSNN courses and curricula will be forwarded for review and approve through NC A&T and UNCG established curricular approval processes.  Dean Ryan alleged UNC Greensboro Nanoscience Revised Requests was required to be submit  to  NC A&T  and UNCG for approval though the universities approval processes.  JSNN Dean  Ryan alleged UNCG revised Nanoscience degree proposal submitted to James  Sadler was unauthorized, as well as subsequent UNC PHD Nanoscience degree proposal.

 

 
Alleged, NC A&T Dr. Alton Thompson, Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and UNCG Dr. David H. Perrin, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, in letter dated August 5, 2009 to Dr. Belle Wheelan said this letter is in response to your letter dated March 17, 2009. 
 

3. Principles of Accreditation, Comprehensive Standard 3.4.6

 

Principles Relevant to All Joint Curricular Ventures (3.), The Joint school of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN) has been formed as a joint venture of two regionally accredited institutions. The General Administration of the University of North Carolina system approved the formation of the school.  The amended and restated JSNN management agreement is attached to this document (Appendix 1). 

 
When approval is received from the UNC System, the faculty approval of the degree programs and courses will then follow the procedures outlined in the faculty handbooks at the respective campus clear indicate the General Administration of the University of North Carolina system JSNN was not approved by UNC System / Board of Governors.
 
 
Memorandum to Chief Academic Officers from Alan Mabe and Jim Sadler, Subject Restating the Academic program Planning and Evaluation Process dated September 21, 2009 proposed schedule for Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009 included entry NCA&TSU and UNCG [joint] M.S. in Nanoscience CIP 40.999).
 
 

 
Unambiguous Alan Mabe and Jim Sadler Memorandum   revised  degree planning and authorization should continue, NC A&TSU and UNCG (joint) M.S. in Nanoscience  Wednesday Oct. 7, was evidence August 5, 2009 letter to Dr. Wheelan allege  approaches and protocols (Appendix I) were not amended and restated to conform to the new policies of the University of North Carolina System. (Appendix I).
 
May 11, 2007
Board of Governors authorizes establishment of the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering.  You ask about any request to amend the Joint School, but I am not aware of any request, emphasis added.
 
NC A&T Chancellor Martin, UNC System General Administration staff , JSNN Dean Ryan, and Alan Mabe Vice President for Academic Affairs, and members of Greensboro Businesses who were also members of the Board of Governors used their position in the authorization process to implemented the General Administration approved JSNN. NC A&T will offer Nanoengineering degrees and UNC Greensboro will offer Nanoscience degrees;  Not UNC Board of Governor May 2007 approved JSNN, to offer (a) joint interdisciplinary Ph.D. degree and (a) joint professional science master's degree.  
 
The degree authorization process progression calls for a constituent institutions to submit  Request to Establish a New Degree to UNC System General Administration which serves under the

President. The General Administration submits 
constituents request to Planning Committee.  If the Planning Committee approved the Request it is taken to the full Board of Governors for a decision to authorized.  With Harold  Martin as Chancellor of  NC A&T , Alan Mabe Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Taylor associated with the Cemala Foundation a member of the Greensboro Partnership, on the Ed Planning Committee. 

JSNN Dean Ryan without authority to submit degree proposals to UNC General Administration,  formulated Nanoscience degrees for HWI UNC Greensboro, excluding HBCU NC A&T.  Members of  the UNC General Administration and 
Senior Vice President Alan Mabe use  authority to manage the review process, to implement  General Administration Approve JSNN and Amended and Restated Management Agreement Circular/degrees UNC Greensboro will offer Nanoscience degrees in stead of the Board of Governors May 2007 approved JSNN in which Nanoscience were joint degrees.
