Say it is not so!

"It is embarrassing. It's inexcusable," but they allowed it to happen and still allow it. What about chanting from students about a students dead Grandmother at a ball game. This is they type of leaders that come from this school.This school is an embarrassment to the state.

Terrible but they do nothing.

If in fact things were and are so bad at UNC why did the board express confidence in Thorp and even ask him to reconsider his resignation? Why is he still on the sinking ship.

And in back room over martinis, "Oops, we got caught, time for some damage control and blame others"

So, let me get this right: It is ok to steer students who should not have been admitted bc of inadequate qualifications in the first place to these "fake" classes so a select group can maintain sufficient GPA to stay in school (for which I presume federal funding relies), but it is NOT ok to steer the subset of those students who are athletes to the "fake" classes to maintain also athletic eligibility? You guys are asking the wrong question: What demographic of students DID benefit by having these "fake" classes, and did the University accept federal money for admitting and keeping them in school, admitted - let us be clear - over interested AND qualified students? THAT is the scandal, albeit one no-one wants to report on, IMHO. Deb Newton, Attorney

Athletics at all higher educational institutions always get favors. Nobody walked me to class everyday...but when I was teaching I sure had football players and basketball players that got walked to my class, and then escorted to the next. The first priority should be to education, then athletics. And our governor is worried about Liberal Arts.

I bet that State and ECU are sweating a bit right now. Don't think for a moment that "jock accomodation" does not go on at universities everywhere.

Completely eliminate the fraudulent AFAM department and its "faculty", and shift the resources to real education.

You did not hear this in the report....

I would like to know what fixes were made to the report to run cover for ole Royvso he didn't have to return those NCAA trophies.
