The stink from Chapel Hill is getting worse. Something is going on behind doors that only Thorp knows about and is sick of it. This guy is no cheater. Lets get on it WRAL....do some investigative reporting.

Let him go, already.

Now I think Tom Ross should be next to resign. UNC need's to clean house of everyone involved in the mess that is STILL being uncovered.If it means BOT'S and BOG'S, then so be it.I think that all of the above should have been a lot more fourth coming when the investigation started!Since that didn't happen, now let the chip's fall where they may.

If he stays he should make sure that all travel is approved. No one gets a blank signed check anymore. Having travel approved by someone is standard accounting practice. None of it would have happened had he checked the travel.

Good summary, Jerry Salak. I agree with you.

JERRYSALAK............well said and I agree. I would like to see him stay as well and finish the job of cleaning up the mess that was here long before he took over. Then his legacy will be etched in stone. UNC '75

The BOG DIDN'T accept anything. Chancellor Thorpe submitted his resignation.

Try reading the articles and actually comprehending them.

Part 2. WUNC radio also had a good story by Dave DeWitt did an excellent story yesterday (Sept 18) which covered the facts well. If you review both of those, you'll understand better that Thorp uncovered problems and addressed them well. Not perfectly or with perfect timing - he admits hat - but well. Chancellor's don't control everything that happens at a University, but they can fix things when they go wrong - and that's what Chancellor Thorp is doing. And I hope he reconsiders and decides to stay and keep on doing just that.

To jmwbrd - It's easy to confuse the boards. The Board of Governors of the state-wide University of North Carolina met last week and asked him over the weekend to stay. The Board of Trustees of UNC at Chapel Hill campus met today and asked him to stay. This was an emergency meeting. Their regular meeting is next week. The faculty met yesterday and asked him to stay. The staff and students are holding a rally of support outside his office on Friday. And emails from alumni and others have been pouring in all week asking Chancellor Thorp to stay. The majority of people want him to stay. I would wager that everyone who is informed on the issues wants him to stay. The only ones calling for his resignation are those who don't have a good understanding of the issues. And I think that's because most of the news coverage has focused too much on sensational aspects of the issues and too little on the plain facts. Two exceptions - yesterday's (Sept 18) N&O editorial covered the facts

Is this some twisted joke?
