expect success! - North Carolina A&T State University

THE DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS implemented safeguards
to track and maintain eligibility for every student athlete, and to ensure
that all student athletes continue to make satisfactory progress toward an
academic degree. For example, an Institutional Compliance Committee
was formed to provide a better system for following and reporting National
Collegiate Athletic Association and University violations. Other new programs
include the availability of laptop computers on extended road trips
and academic support for those students who need assistance with their
study and testing skills. Enhanced services were provided in the areas of
life skills, such as drug and alcohol prevention and nutrition.
The Department was reorganized in March, and the Director of Athletics
now reports to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.

CHANGE, EXCITEMENT AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS also
contributed to successes in the Division of Business and Finance. During fiscal
year 2000, no major audit findings regarding accounting practices or notice of violations
from state or federal auditing agencies for student, employee or environmental
programs of the University were found.
The most exciting development for this Division and the University was the
passage of the UNC Bond referendum in November. The University is now at the
beginning of an intensive capital improvement plan that will net the campus
approximately $154 million in building projects.
The Facilities Office made significant progress with construction projects,
including the opening of the Student Union Annex and Obermeyer Parking
Facility. It is an exciting time for the long awaited funding for new classroom
buildings, residence halls, land, farm facilities, recreation center, and steam and
electrical upgrades.
Higher Education Bonds
On November 7, 2000, voters across the state approved a $2.5 billion bonds package for construction,
repair and renovation of classrooms, science and technology labs, and dormitories at every state university
and UNC-TV. About $600 million included upgrading capacity for every community college. North
Carolina A&T State University’s share is $153.8 million.
