Bet they graduated.
Another of Obama’s sons!
don’t have to crack a book if you are entitled
This would appear to be something that could include penalties from the NCAA...
the most important part of the article:
“Nyang’Oro was chairman of the Department of African and Afro-American Studies. He resigned from that post in 2011 during a campus investigation that found certain classes in the department that instructors did not teach, undocumented grade changes and faked faculty signatures on some grade reports.
The scandal contributed to the departure of football coach Butch Davis and the resignation of a former chancellor, Holden Thorp.”
I worry about the future of the knock out game with these young men missing their classes.
That must have been one hell of a last paycheck.
Chapel Hill. The epitome of left leaning schools, a hot bed of socialism. I know, I have a nephew who attended there, and that’s where he met his wife (now ex-wife). He wasn’t lefty enough for her and he’s really lefty.
Sounds like a new “Fat Albert” Joke.
“Man, you’re just like a North Carolina Professor: No Class”
Yet another monkey screwing up the system.
Someone has to take the fall. I would be very surprised if the Admins did not know this.
How much was he making if there was $12K in his final paycheck to ‘recoup’?
It’s great that they got this guy....but I don’t believe for a minute that higher-ups didn’t know what was going on. Let’s face it, special classes for football players are a running joke at every major university in the country.
Julius E Nyang Oro
African African-amer Studies - Professor
Julius E Nyang Oro is a North Carolina African African-amer Studies employee working as a Professor.
Salary: $200,000
Julius Nyang’oro took football tickets, sideline passes and other favors from counselors in exchange for help with independent studies scheduling, according to emails.
Members of the academic support staff offered Nyang’oro football tickets and the chance to watch a game from the sidelines. One counselor offered to discuss athletes’ coursework over drinks, and another negotiated with Nyang’oro to schedule a no-show class.
UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp and other officials have said the Academic Support Program for Student Athletes did not collaborate with Nyang’oro or his department manager, Debbie Crowder, to create the classes to help keep athletes eligible to play sports.
The university, in its own investigation and in a probe helmed by former Gov. Jim Martin, had concluded the fraud was not intended to benefit athletes because nonathletes were also enrolled and received the same high grades. They have pinned the blame solely on Nyang’oro and Crowder.
How many football players does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Answer: just one, but he gets 4 hours of credit for it!
(And my apologies to those ball-players who actually worked at their studies, even while putting in incredible hours on the practice field)
I taught classes at USM in Hattiesburg. My very first class, I fouled up and made the grades too easy to attain. Everyone got an A. Now if I had fouled up and given everyone a D or F I would simply have told them I messed up and given them better grades. You can’t just go up to a kid who got an A and tell him I made a mistake and I want to give you a C even tho it was my mistake.
Anyway the next class I had a lot of football players take the course. This time a lot still made A’s but lots made Cs too.
I did warn them that I had messed up the first class and had to let all those A’s stand.
