UNC Policy for
Interdisciplinary Degree
An Interdisciplinary Degree program involves
two or more academic units, either on the
same or different campuses in a formal
agreement to offer a program of study
drawing on two or more disciplines that will
result in a student being awarded an
interdisciplinary degree. If more than one
campus is involved in offering the program
it would also be a joint degrees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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; at
least 21 hours in the proposed
program area at the doctoral 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. |

Item: Lease Agreement
between the Greensboro
Center for Innovative

NC A&T, was
considered by UNCG Board
of Trustees. BACKGROUND
INFORMATION allege In
September 2003, in
 order
to create an efficient
vehicle to manage the
UNCG/NCA&T Joint
Millennial Campus (JMC),
a Separate 501(c)3
not-for-profit was
established. The newly
formed organization is
known as the Greensboro
Center for Innovative
Development (GCID). The
GCID (allegedly) is
charged with the
management and
development of the
properties that
represent the JMC.
In order to
facilitate the GCID's
ability to perform its
role as
manager/developer it was
determined by counsel
for the universities and
the GCID to pursue a
master lease for the
properties identified as
the JMC. The lease
document is based on a
model previously used by
several UNC campuses,
including UNCG and
NCA&T. This document has
also been reviewed by
the Office of the
President.

| From Joseph Henderson to Terrance Feravich, CC: John Webb Thursday, August 17, 2006 Subject: NCA&T-UNCG Joint Millennial Camus (email) Terry:
I have now read the agreement, lease, background info put out by GCID. GCID articles of incorporation and bylaws, and reviewed the pertinent general statues. It appears to me that A&T and UNCG set out on a course that was from the beginning contrary to the current statues governing millennial campuses. |
 |
| Clearly, background info on GCID, the articles and bylaws, anticipate GCID taking title to the land and buildings and managing the real property of the campus. Yet, Chapter 116, Article 21B, contemplates the handling of real property pursuant to Chapter 146 except for the limited a case of disposition by lease of space (only) not exceed a term of ten years. |
| |
| A transfer of the real property to GCID (by leaser or otherwise) would remove the Department of Administration, Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and Governor and Council of State from any oversight of the real property transactions. While we may have the latitude to do it (the lease), I am certain uncomfortable with the concept which I believe circumvents the Legislative intent. |
| |
| The formation of and purpose of the GCID raises other questions. As a creation of the two campuses, are its meetings open to the public and are its records subject to the public records law? should they be? What was intent of the two trustee boards and what is the desire of the Board of Governors? |
| |
| Given the appointment/election process for directors of GCID, how much control, if any, do the boards of trustees of the two institutions and the Board of Governors retain over the actions of GCID? It's hard to say who is in charge but my reading of the bylaws indicates the trustees and Board of Governors may have little say over, little knowledge of GCID' s actions except with GCID' cooperation. |
| |
| It seems the cart is before the horse. If the real estate on the millennial campus is to be managed as contemplated by the agreement and lease, the General Assembly should be consulted and the legislation changed to allow it without manipulation or circumvent current statues. |
| |
|
In
the
interim,
we
will
work
with...and
the
campus
to
efficiently
handle
all

School for the Deaf and a similar size parcel adjacent to the NC A&T farm property). We have completed the "draft" and it has been accepted by Greensboro Center for Innovative Development (GCID) Board of Directors( January 31,  2006) and the UNCG Board of Trustees (February 2, 2006). We present it to the NCA&T Board of Trustees on February 15, 2006 and we are confident it will be approved. Upon approval, it will go to the UNC Board of Governors for their approval and then it will formally come to the State Property Office for review.

I
was
hoping
that
we
might
have
an
opportunity
to
sit  and
walk
through
any
hurdles
that
you
see
in
proposed

Talking
with
John

Friday.
I've
learned
that
he
has
gained
a
significant
commitment
from
the
USDA
for
up
to a
50,000
sq.
ft.
new
building.
While
they
understand
that
we
are
working
hard
at
getting
things
properly
set-up
for
all
parties
and
are
being
patient,
my
sense
is
that
it
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
this
new
venture
to
get
that
first
client
off
to a
healthy
and
timely
start.
I'll
be
in
Raleigh
Wednesday
for
a
couple
of
meetings
...
and
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
work
the
issues
that
you
are
see
in
the
lease.
I
know
that
John
Merrill
is
also
pretty
flexible
this
week
is
well.
Sorry
to
be a
bit
of a
pest
with
this
important
issue
and
I
appreciate
your
understanding.

City's Greensboro
Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was
adopted May
2003. A key principle of the
Comprehensive Plan is to promote economic
development in historically under-served parts
of the City such as East Greensboro. Properties
in these areas should receive priority
consideration as the City designates and
promotes land for economic development. The
NCA&TSU Farm site is one such candidate. 7D.3
Promote economic development through
public/private partnerships to include
government, economic development agencies,

initiatives in this effort. Examples include:

opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building
on the example of the Nussbaum Center incubator

will be keeping tabs on research at the two

will look for existing companies that could
benefit from that research and explore the

businesses.]

Negotiation began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T State University celebrated the sighing of Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the opening of the National Resources Conservation Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose service area consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home to the remote  sensing lab. The Memorandum of Understanding says A&T has a working farm with modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm by being able to provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies that can serve as  demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local and regional farmers. A negotiated action under Solicitation 5NC0075 resulted in a non-competitive award to locate the USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service's East National Technical Center and East Remote Sensing Laboratory on the North Carolina A&T State University Millennium Campus. |

| BACKGROUND INFORMATION |
| |
- In September 2005, a Management Services and Development Agreement
(MSDA) between the GCID and NCA&T and UNCG was approved and executed by each party's respective board of Trustees. The MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC, subject to necessary governmental approvals- Such leases shall be long term leases for nominal consideration. emphasis added
|
| |
- In order to facilitate the GCID's ability to perform its role as manager/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC. The lease document is based on a model previously used by several UNC campuses, including UNCG and NCA&T. This document has also been reviewed by the Office of the President.

Land-Grant HBCUs USDA
Press
 WASHINGTON,
September 18, 2023 -
U.S. Secretary of
Education Miguel
Cardona and U.S.
Secretary of
Agriculture Thomas
Vilsack today sent
letters to 16
governors
emphasizing the over
$12 billion
disparity in funding
between land-grant
Historically Black
Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs)
and their non-HBCU
land-grant peers in
their states. Letter
stated, 1862
land-grant
universities were
founded through the
First Morrill Act of
1862 which provided
states with federal
land that could be
sold to support the
colleges. Under
the Second Morrill
Act of 1890, states
choosing to open a
second land-grant
university to serve Black
students were
required to provide
an equitable
distribution of
state funds between
their 1862 and 1890
land-grant
institutions.

 Addressed
to
Governor
Roy
Cooper,
North
Carolina
A & T
State
University,
the 1890
land-grant
institution
in your
state,
while
producing
extraordinary
graduates
that
contribute
greatly
to the
state’s
economy
and the
fabric
of our
nation,
has not
been
able to
advance
in ways
that are
on par
with
North
Carolina
State
University
at
Raleigh,
the
original
Morrill
Act of
1862
land-grant
institution
in your
state,
in
large
part due
to
unbalanced
funding.
Unquotable
funding
of the
1890
institution
in your
state
has
caused a
severe
financial
gap, in
the last
30 years
alone,
an
additional $2,079,934,848 would
have
been
available
for the
university. Video Link |

Loud
and Clear
finding
by the Board of Governors that
the institution desiring to
create a "Millennial Campus" has
the administrative and fiscal
capability to create and
maintain such a campus.
