A good way to reduce waste at UNC would be to elimi......never mind, they would never do it anyway.

Show some guts UNC- fire the people responsible. Or is there more to the story and that's why these people are being allowed to "retire"?

That program is equivalent to the Basket Weaving program

"If somebody commited fraud in the private sector the words would be YOUR FIRED not resign or retire." - sunshine1040

That depends on your definition of "fraud." If by fraud you mean, "steal the pensions of hundreds or thousands of workers in order to give yourself bonuses and a bevy of administrative assistants, company cars, jets, etc..." then I'd say you're not quite accurate. In those cases, you're allowed to "choose to retire" along with the benefit of a multi-million dollar severance package, and in the cases of the banks, all of that came on the backs of the taxpayers who funded a bailout. I think it's poorly stated to make a generalization that this type of concession only occurs in the public sector.

This goes right along with the state government. Multiple accounts of fraud waste and abuse but no one ever seems to be punished. They are left to retire at taxpayer expense. UNC is no better than a online diploma factory. If you got the money we got the degree.

Maybe UNC should be a Jr. College and offer degrees in football violations and misc payoffs. They CERTAINLY have not attained the level of trust that the other schools have but not surprising since they have ALWAYS been overated.

"Nyang’oro will retire effective July 1."

No other penalty - just 'float' on out of there ? Right-just add an example for dodging responsibilities to those 'studies,' then.

Both should be dismissed without the option to retire and draw a taxpayer funded pension. What about the students in these courses - their degrees are even more worthless now.

It's time people are held accountable for their wrongdoings. Fire all those involved..no retirement. I've always been a Carolina fan but they need to get it on the right track over there.
