ABSTRACT Wescott, Joseph Warren II. a Vision Of ABSTRACT Wescott, Joseph Warren II. A Vision of an Open Door: The Establishment and Expansion of the North Carolina Community College System (Under the Direction of Edgar J. Boone). After World War II, university extension centers and public junior colleges preceded the establishment of noncomprehensive community colleges and industrial education centers in 1957. In the establishment of these institutions and the passage of enabling legislation and funding for the industrial education centers in that year is the earliest beginning of the community college system in North Carolina. The decision to build and maintain these centers grew from the great need for education beyond the high school, a need that was not being met by North Carolina’s public and private colleges and the desire to provide the state with a well-trained workforce to support the new industries being attracted to the state. Throughout their development and operation, the industrial education centers would be at the center of a controversy over how best to accomplish these goals. Yet their success in opening doors of opportunity to the state’s disadvantaged adults and vocationally inclined high school students laid a foundation for the development of a system of comprehensive community colleges in 1963. With the election of a new governor, Terry Sanford, and the passage of the Omnibus Higher Education Act in 1963, the vision of a comprehensive community college system became a reality. The growth of the new system was phenomenal, especially in the turbulent era of the Sixties. The number of colleges doubled and the student population increased over 400 percent from 1963 until 1970. By 1970, the final year in our study, the value of the community college system in providing greater access to higher education for all residents of North Carolina was well established and recognized by the state’s leaders and citizens alike. A VISION OF AN OPEN DOOR: THE ESTABLISHMENT AND EXPANSION OF THE NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM by JOSEPH WARREN WESCOTT II Presented to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education HIGHER EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION Raleigh 2005 APPROVED BY: ________________________ ___________________________ ________________________ ___________________________ __________________________ Chair of Advisory Committee ii BIOGRAPHY Joseph Warren Wescott II was born the second child of James W. Wescott and Delores P. Wescott in Bolivia, North Carolina on July 19, 1959. Educated in the public schools of North Carolina, he graduated from South Brunswick High School in 1977.

And so they do. But there is one undeveloped resource more valuable than all these, and that is the people themselves. Walter Hines Page INTRODUCTION Educational analysts and historians, particularly those who have attempted to tell the story of the birth of the community college in the United States, have proposed several theories explaining the motivations behind the establishment of these institutions. Some, such as Zwerling and Park (1974), Pincus (1986, 1994), and Brint and Karabel (1989), have suggested that these schools were a means of tracking students with lower socio-economic status and measured academic ability into terminal vocational and technical programs, or as Brint and Karabel describe it, the bottom track of higher education’s segmented structure of internal stratification. Others such as Dougherty (1994) have argued that the birth and expansion of the community college movement in America can be traced primarily to the promotion of federal, state and local leaders, often to meet the demands of business for a well–trained workforce. However, most scholars agree that these institutions were molded and influenced by the social changes taking place in the latter half of the Twentieth Century, and indeed it was during this period that the community college movement began in North Carolina. The community colleges of North Carolina came into existence during a time of far- reaching social, economic and technological change and expansion. This dissertation examines the community college movement within the state of North Carolina, from the authorization of the first community college study in 1950 until midway the Robert Scott Administration in 1970, the triumph of the progressives in state politics. It examines the establishment and expansion of the community college system within the context of the 2 social, economic and political developments affecting the state. An accurate understanding of the forces for and against the development of this new system is necessary to explain its development. It is my hope that this investigation will shed some light upon the spectrum of political and educational opinion present within the state, while providing a foundation upon which to assess the influence of this new system of education upon the growth and development of a state rapidly pushing its way into the New South. Several forces, from the educational elitists bent on protecting the university from those whom they saw as ill-prepared to industrial leaders seeking to staff their expanding mills, sought to influence, mold and at times, oppose outright the plans for the community college system.

Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

Judge Alexander became the first African-American elected judge in North Carolina and only the second female African-American judge to be elected in the nation on 1 Judge Alexander often told persons appearing in her court that “‘the truth will set you free,’ a saying her father frequently employed to encourage her ‘to approach things with honesty and integrity.’” Interview by Anna Barbara Perez with Hon.

She writes that “after more than twenty-five years in the judiciary of North Carolina, it is unlikely that I have twenty-five or even twelve years more to serve. This realization leaves me both immensely grateful for the privilege that I have been given by the people of North Carolina to serve as a judge, but also reflective.

  • Ch 5 NC Legislature.Indd
    The State Legislature The General Assembly is the oldest governmental body in North Carolina. According to tradition, a “legislative assembly of free holders” met for the first time around 1666. No documentary proof, however, exists proving that this assembly actually met. Provisions for a representative assembly in Proprietary North Carolina can be traced to the Concessions and Agreements, adopted in 1665, which called for an unicameral body composed of the governor, his council and twelve delegates selected annually to sit as a legislature. This system of representation prevailed until 1670, when Albemarle County was divided into three precincts. Berkeley Precinct, Carteret Precinct and Shaftsbury Precinct were apparently each allowed five representatives. Around 1682, four new precincts were created from the original three as the colony’s population grew and the frontier moved westward. The new precincts were usually allotted two representatives, although some were granted more. Beginning with the Assembly of 1723, several of the larger, more important towns were allowed to elect their own representatives. Edenton was the first town granted this privilege, followed by Bath, New Bern, Wilmington, Brunswick, Halifax, Campbellton (Fayetteville), Salisbury, Hillsborough and Tarborough. Around 1735 Albemarle and Bath Counties were dissolved and the precincts became counties. The unicameral legislature continued until around 1697, when a bicameral form was adopted. The governor or chief executive at the time, and his council constituted the upper house. The lower house, the House of Burgesses, was composed of representatives elected from the colony’s various precincts. The lower house could adopt its own rules of procedure and elect its own speaker and other officers.

Preemption and the North Carolina Predatory Lending Law I. INTRODUCTION "This [North Carolina law] is the toughest law against predatory lending in the country. I am confident this will be a model law for all state legislatures."' When former North Carolina Attorney General Mike Easley made this statement, it embodied his belief that the North Carolina Predatory Lending Law,2 passed on July 22, 1999, would not only protect North Carolina home buyers, but also lead the nation in fighting predatory lending. It appears, however, that the North Carolina predatory lending law may be vulnerable to a claim of preemption by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") with respect to national banks.3 Despite questions about the constitutionality of preemption in state consumer protection laws,4 history shows that the OCC has a predetermined course of action - preemption of state law.

The result is deeply imperfect. Its faults come from my many shortcomings as an author. For anything this project does accomplish, I owe credit to the many people who have helped me along the way. Completing this project would have been impossible without the love, support, and inspiration of my parents, Hal and Lisa Elliott. During my upbringing, they instilled the values that guided me through the moral choices that a project like this one entails. My mother and her family have always been the driving forces behind my research into Lumbee and American Indian history. My father, a reluctant physician, passed down his fondness for history and dream of writing it. In the many difficult moments over the past eight years, my parents steadied me with long hugs or reassuringly familiar, South Carolina-accented voices on the phone.

THE DEMOCRACY PRINCIPLE IN STATE CONSTITUTIONS Jessica Bulman-Pozen*& Miriam Seifter** In recent years, antidemocratic behavior has rippled across the nation. Lame- duck state legislatures have stripped popularly elected governors of their pow- ers; extreme partisan gerrymanders have warped representative institutions; state officials have nullified popularly adopted initiatives. The federal Consti- tution offers few resources to address these problems, and ballot-box solutions cannot work when antidemocratic actions undermine elections themselves. Commentators increasingly decry the rule of the many by the few. This Article argues that a vital response has been neglected. State constitu- tions embody a deep commitment to democracy. Unlike the federal Constitu- tion, they were drafted—and have been repeatedly rewritten and amended— to empower popular majorities.
