Not sure if this has been mentioned but the documentary "Schooled: The Price of College Sports" is on Netflix and about a quarter or so of the documentary talks about UNC and its academic scandal as well as interviews with Mary Willingham - quite interesting. Maybe this has been mentioned here. But, its nice to see their scandal made a pretty big documentary - well done documentary by the way too.

They are totally deflecting from the larger issue, which is the no-show classes, to the debate over college-preparedness of athletes. Ah well, it's still hilarious watching their name get drug threw the mud, along with the general shittiness of their basketball team this year.

And now another word from Herr Chancellor:

Quote :

"Dear Carolina Community: In the days since my last message to you, I have been made aware of – and read for myself – examples of heated conversations inside and outside of Carolina regarding many of the issues I addressed: the integrity of our support for student-athletes and their success from admission to graduation. I closed that email by saying, “Whether we agree or disagree, we must welcome healthy debate, respect each other and in that way show the true character of our Carolina community.” Today, I am asking for a renewed effort by everyone, regardless of your opinions, to encourage civil debate and discourse about these complex issues. I hope that we can talk about these topics in an informed way without resorting to personal attacks directed at students, faculty or staff members. Carolina character lives in our words and deeds. Sincerely, Carol L. Folt Chancellor "

I guess we shouldn't talk crap about President Ginger "Girls Name" Lambden. Got it.

1/22/2014 4:03:00 PM

did Willingham ever claim that she had IRB approval in the first place? seems as though they're just trying to play gotcha with her. they're being extra quiet about the data she actually studied.

ironic, given how many times uncch* has already been caught red-handed numerous times with fake classes, unauthorized grade changes, and forged professor signatures among the many other "prongs".

what a bunch of gutless cheaters.

Finally, some type of large endeavor is announced with the goal of taking the school's focus off the entire subject."
