Group questions legality of settlement between UNC, Confederate group over monument

OVER THE CURB AND HIT THE

CHILD.

THE STUDENT WAS TRANSPORTED TO

THE HOSPITAL AS A PRECAUTION.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE THE UNC SILENT

STATUE MAY NOT BE THE END OF

THE STORY.

THE UNIVERSITY SAID THEY WOULD

HAND OVER THE STATUE TO THE

SONS OF THE CONFEDERATE

VETERANS.

A LEGAL GROUP PLANS TO HAVE

THEM OPEN THE DEAL.

>> HE MAY NOT BE HERE ANYMORE

BUT THE CONTROVERSY IS NOT

GOING AWAY.

A NATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS LEGAL

GROUP SAYS THE SETTLEMENT

BETWEEN UNC AND THE SONS OF

CONFEDERATE VETERANS IS AN

ILLEGAL SHAM AND THEY'RE ASKING

THE COURT TO OVERTURN THE DEAL.

>> THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT

THE SILENT DEAL FROM THE DAY IT

WAS ANNOUNCED.

THE SETTLEMENT WAS SIGNED

BEFORE THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED.

A UNIQUE LETTER SAID THEY WERE

ONLY TAKING $500,000 NOT 2.5

MILLION.

NOW THE LAWYERS COMMITTEE FOR

CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WANTS TO

SEE IT RESENDED.

THEY SENT THIS LETTER USUALING

THE UNC BOARD OF GOVERNORS

QUOTE TO RECOVER THE $2.5

MILLION TO BE PAID TO SUPPORT A

WHITE SUPREMACIST ORGANIZATION.

AN ATTORNEY SAID THE LAWSUIT

WAS A SCHEME COOKED UP TO GET

AWAY FROM LAWS TO BLOCK THEM.

IT EVEN HAS FAMILIES AND THEY

KNEW IT.

>> THEIR LEADER SAID OVER AND

OVER AGAIN THEY WOULD GET IT

IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE BAD LAW.

WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

THEY SIGNED A COMPLAINT SAYING

JUST BE HONEST.

>> THE GROUP IS SEEKING TO

INTERVENE IN COURT ON BEHALF OF

THE STUDENTS AND FACULTY WHO

HAVE PROTESTED THE DEAL.

UNC SAYS THE MONEY ISN'T

TAXPAYER MONEY OR TUITION.

HE SAYS IT DOESN'T MATTER.

>> IT'S PUBLIC MONEY.

IT'S THE PEOPLE'S MONEY.

IT'S MONEY TO BE ABLE TO

SUPPORT A WIDE RANGE OF

PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF SHOWING UP

THIS LOST CAUSE NARRATIVE.

>> I SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY THIS

AFTERNOON.

HE REPRESENTS THE SONS OF

CONFEDERATES.

I SEE THE PRIVATE COMMENTS AND

RESPONSE TO THE PENDING LAWSUIT

EXPECT TO SAY QUOTE WE DID HAVE

LEGAL STANDING TO CHOOSE USC.

THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO THE
