By Jonnelle Davis Staff Writer GREENSBORO — The state budget for the coming fiscal year is not yet official, but lawmakers are sure it won’t include a new engineering building for N.C. A&T. Legislators have excluded from the budget money for a $104 million engineering center at the university, as well as one at N.C. State. Both buildings were part of a higher education bond package that Senate leaders proposed in May. “We didn’t feel it was right to do anything new in capital (spending),” House Speaker Joe Hackney said Monday. A&T leaders said they have not given up hope of getting the building some time in the near future. “It still is going to be our number one capital project for next year,” Alton Thompson, A&T’s interim provost, said Tuesday. www.news-record.com/content/2010/06/29/article/at_gets_no_funds_for_new_building

I hate that they didnt choose Alton as the Provost. He has served 2 years as the number 2 man on campus and has done exceptionally well. Going back to AG will be good for the program but a step down for the man.
