I doubt that Senator Goolsby is just some political suit, as you call him, blowing some hot air. I would suspect there are others within that legislature who share his thoughts about UNC's problems. Without a doubt, UNC needs to clean and rid itself of the trash it's mired in.

If there are lingering concerns or questions at the close of the Martin investigation you can be assured that there will be those in the legislature who will be asking some pointed, direct questions at UNC. If that happens, it's going to be bad for UNC.

I would like to know how low they had to drop the entrance requirements for them to be allowed to attend college.

"*sigh* Mr. Senator, please spend every minute of your time as an elected North Carolina representative working to get our economy going and adding jobs in our state. Blowing hot air and calling for additional bureaucratic investigations into the woes of the UNC scandal just paints you as another out-of-touch politician in a suit. If you can't get a clue, maybe someone in our state could sell you one. At least that would help the economy in a small way."

There's 170 lawmakers in NC, I'm sure they can handle multiple tasks concurrently. And I am all for investigating state employees who are committing fraud, abusing the public's trust, and misusing taxpayer funding.

as far as getting the Attorney General involved, guess where Roy Cooper got his law degree? Yep, you got it! UNC-CHeat.

As much as this Wolfpacker loves to see UNC in hot water, I want to know how illiterate student-athletes get out of elementary school, and middle school and graduate from high school. Is it possible that some groups of students are just pushed ahead so that our precious government/public schools won't appear to have a worse racial achievement gap than they have now? Seems that educators all up and down the line should get sued for delivering a fradulent product.

You are exactly right. The underachievers get passed on without question, especially if they are star athletes. Take a look at the number of students in our community college system who are taking pre-requisite courses to make up for a lack of math, reading, and English they they should have gotten in HS. They did not get it because they were simply moved on.

Politicians need to stay out of this. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

Yeah politicians are all clean. Doouchebag. Find something to do with your time and my tax dollars.

Fine. Likewise...

NC House Speaker Thom Tillis' chief of staff recently resigned due to a lobbying scandal. This scandal is like athlete's foot that won't go away. I think all state government officials should be criminally investigated immediately, and we should start with Republican State Sen. Thom Goolsby!

See how stupid works?

Another angry fascist State operative. Line em up with the N&O and WRAL operatives and give them a hug and a cookie.
