University of North Carolina at Greensboro

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG), also known as UNC Greensboro, is a public liberal arts and research university in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States and is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina system. However, UNCG, like all members of the UNC system, is a stand-alone university and awards its own degrees. UNCG is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, specialist and doctoral degrees.
The university offers more than 100 undergraduate, 61 master's and 26 doctoral programs.〔http://ire.uncg.edu/pages/factbook/2009-10/PDFs/history/2009Profile.PDF〕 The university's academic schools and programs include the College of Arts & Sciences, the Joseph M. Bryan School of Business & Economics, the School of Education, the School of Health and Human Sciences, the Joint School of Nanoscience & Nanoengineering (one of the first such schools in the nation), the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, the School of Nursing, Continual Learning, Graduate School, Warren Ashby Residential College and Lloyd International Honors College. The university is also home to the nationally renowned Weatherspoon Art Museum, which features one of the largest and most impressive collections of modern American art in the country.
The university holds two classifications from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as a “research university with high research activity” and for “community engagement” in curriculum, outreach and partnerships.
==History==

Credit for the founding of UNCG goes mainly to Charles Duncan McIver, a crusader for the cause of women's education. Charles D. McIver served the institution as its first chief executive officer with the title of President. This position has also seen various names, with the administrator being known as the Dean of Administration after 1934 and Chancellor from 1945 to present.
The school was established as a women's college by legislative enactment on February 18, 1891 as the State Normal and Industrial School and opened October 5, 1892. The school provided instruction in business, domestic science, and teaching with a student body of 223 and a faculty of 15 in its first year. R. S. Pullen and R. T. Gray gave the original site in Greensboro, N.C. where the first building was erected with state funds totaling $30,000. It is the first and only public university in North Carolina founded for the purpose of educating women. In 1949, it became the largest all-female institution in the United States.
The school has seen many names over the years, changing from the "State Normal and Industrial School" to the State Normal and Industrial College in 1896, and again in 1919 to North Carolina College for Women. In 1932, it changed to the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, when it became one of the three charter institutions of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, and changed again to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro when men were first admitted to the school in 1963. It is remembered fondly by many graduates of the Woman's College simply as "the W.C."
UNCG is in the midst of expanding beyond its traditional borders onto West Lee Street, a major city thoroughfare, with the construction of an 800 bed residence hall for students, and this is just the beginning of the $200 million project on Lee Street. The new construction will be a mixed-use development, with space for retail and restaurants, along with student residence halls and a new student recreation center. The university's expansion into the West Lee Street Corridor was triggered by UNCG's strategic housing plan, which calls for the university to increase the percentage of undergraduates living in university housing from 30 percent to more than 40 percent over the next decade.
In addition to providing room for UNCG's growth, the expansion also syncs with Greensboro's revitalization plan for the High Point Road/West Lee Street corridor, a main entry point and thoroughfare in the city. The project will also spur economic development in the area. Projections estimate the development will generate more than $590 million in new spending between 2014 and 2023, create 945 new jobs and boost local property revenues by $7.5 million. The expansion has not been without controversy, especially the $91 million athletic center. The athletic center is financed by a mandatory annual fee of $435 charged every UNCG student.〔"UNCG Students, Faculty Balk at Facility Spending" ''Carolina Journal Online'' December 5, 2013, http://www.carolinajournal.com/exclusives/display_exclusive.html?id=10675, accessed December 12, 2014〕
A personnel scandal erupted in 2014. On September 25, UNCG terminated the employment of three persons in the University's public relations department and they were arrested on felony charges of operating a photography business on University time and with University property.〔"Three former UNCG employees charged in moonlighting scandal", ''Greensboro News-Record'', September 30, 2014〕 University faculty and staff protested the firings and arrests.〔"Standing in silence: 100 protest firings at UNCG", ''Greensboro News-Record'', October 29, 2014〕 On October 30, the District Attorney dropped all criminal charges against the three former employees. UNCG defended reporting the incident to legal authorities, but announced that the former employees had the right to appeal their termination through the personnel grievance system.〔"Charges dropped against 3 ex-UNCG employees", ''Greensboro News-Record'', October 30, 2014〕
On October 20, 2014, Chancellor Linda Brady announced her retirement effective July 31, 2015. Brady said her retirement was not related to the ongoing personnel scandal at the University.〔"UNCG Chancellor Linda Brady to retire July 31", ''Greensboro News-Record'', October 20, 2014〕 On January 27, 2015, the head of the public relations department tendered his resignation, effective February 6.〔"Chancellor Paul Mason to Resign from UNCG, take new position elsewhere" ''Greensboro News-Record'', http://www.news-record.com/news/chancellor-paul-mason-to-resign-from-uncg-take-new-position/article_a7ed076c-a656-11e4-8e8e-e785c96b27e0.html, accessed February 22, 2015〕
