A three-month investigation into academic fraud at the University of North Carolina revealed that not only student-athletes were given added academic benefits within the school's African and Afro-American Studies department.
Rather, students at large benefited from anomalies specific to the department, such as unauthorized grade changes, forged faculty signatures on grade rolls and limited or no class time.
"This was not an athletic scandal," former North Carolina Governor Jim Martin told UNC's board of trustees. "It was an academic scandal, which is worse."
The independent investigation, headed by Martin, shows that irregularities in the African and Afro-American Studies department went back further than an original probe revealed -- to fall 1997.
However, according to the report presented to the board Thursday, no academic misconduct or other anomalies were found outside the AFAM department.

I would assume that African American Studies contributes toward a degree in Community Organizing.

(After first scrolling down, as far as I could, on this FR thread to see if I made the usual jackazz out of myself ... )
Yeah, grievance-mongering: It’s a real academic growth industry. Even the muzzies have caught on to it.
I’m fairly certain that the majority of students in these programs are not student-athletes. Schools don’t have enough athletes to justify an entire department.

Our son graduated from the UNC’s B-school a few years ago and swears that UNC will never receive a penny from him...he is a fine young Christian who thinks that the entire school is so liberal and anti=Christian that it borders on communism...
“The fraud is strong here:”
You are so right! The solution, so far as I am concerned, is to do away completely with college athletics. But oh, what would students do for entertainment some would say. Colleges and Universities should be “institutions of higher learning.” I don’t understand why they have become “the farm system” for major league sports. Let the rich bastards who own the franchises, set up their own farm system outside post secondary academics. You can see the few schools who actually play by the rules, they have the loosing teams. And I will bet you that if you examine the “academic records” of the football teams, the only “value” from going to college was to try and get a contract with a professional sports team of one kind or another. I would also doubt if any “athletes” were so highly rated academically, that they switched their major in athletics to say, medicine or law! College athletics in nothing more than another manifestation of affirmative action.

I do not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation....
Did these students learn to hate whitey? If so, they should get credit because they satisfied the only coarse requirement.
