Remember that report UNC wrote for the NCAA? Turns out a key sentence was changed from this:
"Although we may never know for certain, it was our impression from multiple interviews that the involvement of Deborah Crowder seems to have been that of an athletics supporter who was extremely close to personnel in Athletics, and who managed to use the system to help players by directing them to enroll in courses in the African and Afro-American Studies department that turned out to be aberrant or irregularly taught."
to this:
"Although we may never know for certain, it was our impression from multiple interviews that a department staff member managed to use the system to help players by directing them to enroll in courses in the African and Afro-American Studies Department that turned out to be aberrant or irregularly taught."
The change was suggested by Faculty Council Chairman Jan Boxill, who says she was asked to do so by other members of the council executive committee.
We'll see what happens now. The NCAA really didn't get involved in the academic fraud side because there was no evidence that athletes were favored. But now?
Again, and again and again, we see delusional behavior from folks in Chapel Hill who are trying to protect and hide rather than simply getting it over with. This has now gone on for three years. Pretty clearly, protect and hide isn't working.
