Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 2413311, member: 7435"] So a couple of things. 1. UNC is a top University, and (except for those looking to score cheap points) no one seriously doubts the quality of its education. The probability that UNC will receive a significant sanction over this situation approaches metaphysical zero. People are not going to look askance at a degree from UNC just because of problems in its African American Studies Dept over fake courses for athletes. 2. UNC was never going to dishonor a course once it was on the Transcript because of the liability it would incur. What happened was UNCs fault. Students paid money for those courses and did the work prescribed. There are people with degrees conveyed by UNC that have those courses on their transcript. UNC wasn't going to retro-actively revoke those degrees by invalidating coursework. 3. I imagine UNC agreed to refuse to honor courses currently in process if those courses turned out to be paper courses. I doubt they ever agreed to remove courses from a transcript. And that would be the right thing to do. Think what would happen if a graduating senior suddenly had two or three electives removed due to UNCs negligence. The students took advantage of UNCs lack of control. They didn't do anything wrong. They found an easy elective and took it. It isn't the fault of the students that UNC created this situation and the students should not be made to suffer for it. [/QUOTE]
