^ co-sign

it should be crystal clear that the only "class" athletes need to show up for and actually participate in at UNC is their respective sports practices.

good article
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2011/07/17/2460376/mcadoo-case-puts-unc-court-in.html
Quote :
"Last fall, UNC football player Michael McAdoo accepted the university honor court's findings that he had received impermissible help from a tutor who footnoted and sourced one of his papers.

The ruling resulted in an "F" on the paper, placed him on academic probation for a semester and helped keep him off the football team last year. He's also one of seven players who sat out the season as a result of an NCAA investigation into allegations of academic fraud and financial gifts and trips from agents.

When McAdoo sought to return to the team this year, he was forced to make public the process that led to the honor court's punishment. And it didn't take long for the public spotlight to shine on something missed by the professor, the honor court, the athletics department and the NCAA: McAdoo had submitted a paper that plagiarized from multiple sources, with many passages lifted word for word.

The discovery produced more embarrassment for a university still reeling from its worst athletic scandal in 50 years. This time, Athletics Director Dick Baddour had gone to bat for McAdoo to convince NCAA officials that he deserved reinstatement for what appeared to be a lesser, admitted transgression, only to realize afterward that the paper represented something worse.

"This has been the most difficult year in the lives of everybody involved," Chancellor Holden Thorp said in an interview Thursday. "And this is another sad part of the whole episode."

McAdoo, a defensive end from Antioch, Tenn., declined to talk about his case after a hearing Wednesday in which a state judge refused to grant him an injunction so he could play football.

The professor who assigned him the paper, Julius Nyang'oro, who is also chairman of UNC's Department of African and Afro-American Studies, is out of the country and could not be reached.

Baddour had testified to NCAA officials that McAdoo's paper was "his work." Baddour also could not be reached for comment.

The 39 percent solution

McAdoo's paper first became an issue when the university discovered that he had gotten too much help from a tutor, Jennifer Wiley, who wrote the footnotes and the bibliography for him. That led to his removal from the team for the past season, and after the honor court's decision, it prompted the NCAA to declare him permanently ineligible.

McAdoo filed suit this month to challenge the NCAA decision. He contends that his misconduct, as found by the honor court, does not rise to the level of a full ban from playing football for NCAA member colleges.

Unlike honor court cases, state Superior Court proceedings are public, and that required McAdoo to produce the paper at the heart of the academic violations, as well as records of the honor court and NCAA proceedings. Message board commenters on Pack Pride, a sports website devoted to rival N.C. State, seized on the paper, finding several examples of plagiarism.

The SportsbyBrooks news blog was the first to pick up on the controversy.

In the 21-page paper, about the evolution of Swahili culture, McAdoo lifted large chunks of prose directly from books and essays, and included one passage that appears to originate from various websites with little or no attribution.

The (Raleigh) News & Observer scanned McAdoo's paper with an online plagiarism detection program, scanmyessay.com, and found that 39 percent of the content matched other material. Additionally, the program didn't catch passages from a 1911 book, "The Future of Africa," which McAdoo used extensively in his paper without giving the author proper credit.

Missing the plagiarism

For more than 130 years, UNC Chapel Hill students have pledged to abide by an honor code that forbids them from lying, cheating, stealing and other misbehavior. Those accused of violating the code go before a court of their peers who serve as prosecutor, defense and judge, deciding their academic fates in closed-door sessions.

The process is defended by students, faculty and administrators.

The McAdoo case caused the university to acknowledge that the honor court does not have the anti-plagiarism programs to catch cheating - programs that are free on the Internet. Some academic departments do have the capability.

Thorp and other officials acknowledged that the honor court rarely investigates beyond the allegations brought to its attention.

UNC history professor Jay Smith said he is not surprised the honor court missed McAdoo's plagiarism. He has been arguing for two years that the honor court system fails to get at the heart of the misconduct.

He became a critic when he turned in a student for plagiarizing a paper in 2009. Smith had found four examples of copied passages, but at a hearing, the honor court's prosecutor provided the evidence for only one example.

As a result, the court's panel could consider only that example. It found the student guilty, but the student appealed. The appellate panel, Smith said, threw out the charge on the grounds that it could have been an honest mistake, something the panel might not have done if it had known there were three other examples.

The experience convinced Smith that students do not have the time or expertise to handle complex misconduct cases. He also said the court is too often limited to considering the charges brought to it, rather than exploring the possibility that a more egregious offense occurred.

That's problem enough for cases involving non-athletes, he said. But when an athletic department relies on the court to determine facts crucial to a key football player's eligibility, he said that puts the university's academic integrity at great risk. Student-athletes on UNC's basketball and football teams help the university collect millions of dollars in television rights, ticket sales and licensing fees, creating pressure to keep athletes eligible.

The athletics department puts "UNC's credibility on the line without apparently doing the due diligence on the basic facts of the case," he said. "And I think that's a very serious problem."

The undergraduate honor court handles roughly 190 cases a year, and most students are found guilty - 90 percent for the most recent academic year. Often students admit wrongdoing, eliminating an evidentiary hearing before a five-student panel.

Earlier this year, Smith surveyed faculty about the honor court. While a strong majority favored the process, one surprising finding was that many faculty said they don't use it. They are not identified in the survey, which was made public in April by the reesenews.org digital news service produced by UNC journalism students.

Reasons varied. While some faculty said the punishments were too harsh, many others said the court was being too lenient on cheaters.

Several responses suggested preferential treatment for student-athletes.

"The evidence of cheating could not have been more obvious, and the excuse given was completely implausible," one wrote. "Also, this case dealt with a student-athlete, and I found the interventions from the athletics department asking that the case not be brought before the honor court unethical."

More academic help

Thorp said he wished someone in the university had caught the plagiarism in McAdoo's paper before the Wolfpack fans did, but he also said the handling of McAdoo's academic misconduct does not suggest the need for an overhaul of the honor court.

He said there's no need to put the plagiarism-catching technology in the hands of honor court prosecutors because they are not asked to do more than prove or disprove the allegations before them.

He also did not back away from the university's position that McAdoo should return to the team if the NCAA reverses itself about ruling him ineligible. The school has invited McAdoo to serve as a "student-coach" on the football team while he tries to convince a state judge to let him play.

"He was tried by the honor court. He got a sentence and he served it," Thorp said. "So, if he wasn't (a member of) the football team and this whole thing happened, this is exactly how we would have handled it."

Thorp does say, however, that reform is needed. His is to do more to help them in the classroom.

"We need to do a better job creating an environment where our student athletes have the resources and time so they can do their academic work," he said.

Did the chancellor of a major public university actually say that? Really? "There's no need to put tools in the hands of people to prove or disprove cheating, because they are only asked to prove or disprove cheating." WHAT? He should be fired for that fucking statement alone.

No, he said they only have to prove or disprove the allegations brought before them. It's set up that way because if UNC's arm is twisted and they have to bring a football/basketball player before the honor court, they can basically say "hey, this guy is accused of this petty infraction, tell us if you agree or disagree. And don't go looking for anything else."

and what better way to prove an allegation of cheating via plagiarism than with plagiarism-detecting software?

Having that software wouldn't change that. They could still not bring up plagiarism charges, but in the McAdoo case, I think they originally did bring in said charges

I believe McAdoo was only the citations and conclusion. The Honor Court did not try to find any other instances of cheating...aka reading the paper.

i hope they are using the term "student" lightly

it's also interesting to see the bit in the article about profesors not even utilizing the honor court and also asked not to put athletes through the process. These UNC professors are probably happy that this is coming out since education has had to play second fiddle to athletics at UNC...

Basically they said he had Wiley format his works cited page.

But because of their policy, that's all the honor court was supposed to determine. NOT plagiarism.

So let me get this straight, the unc administration thinks its a good idea to take someone who the ncaa has issue with and was stripped of eligibility and has a shit storm of bad pr around him, all while they are defending a lawsuit from him and are trying to assassinate his character.

I went to a cookout at my father-in-laws house yesterday and I overheard some of his friends (who are Carolina grads in their 50s - my father in law graduated from NCSU, fyi) talking about the McAdoo story. I couldnt believe how they were all on board with the "every school does it" bandwagon. They also commented how UNC is being unfairly investigated and that the media around here is digging around and are "bound to find something eventually".

Its pretty sad really, they truly believe that McAdoo didnt do anything wrong and that UNC is the victim in all of this. They still support Butch and think that this will all blow over. I would expect this out of some wal-mart fans, but not educated, successful alums

i just IM'd an Alum, graduated around 2000 i believe from the Business School, but younger than me. I was just IM'ing him to rib him over the investigation and sent him the link of N&O article from today...

His first comment: "but....you should see how he can get to the qb" (sarcasm) "that's embarrassing"

Next comment: "the honor court was a joke while i was there too"

"i knew a couple guys who were on it and it was pretty clear that you could get away with stuff, or at least be punished for something less severe than you what you did"

later on... "swahili is supposed to be one of the easiest classes at carolina" "one of my friends took it and said it was a joke"

We know all this stuff, i know, but interesting to hear some dispassionate comments from non walmarters.
