Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2369150, member: 6620"] Between the responses here and on the men's board, there's very little in the press release that bears the scrutiny of the ink that was used to print it. However, this paragraph (I've italicized it) just keeps coming back to me: [I]"The panel noted that its ability to determine whether academic fraud occurred at UNC was limited by the NCAA principle relying on individual member schools to determine whether academic fraud occurred on their own campuses. North Carolina said the work was assigned, completed, turned in and graded, often by the former secretary, under the professor’s guidelines. While the university admitted the courses failed to meet its own expectations and standards, the university maintained that the courses did not violate its policies at the time."[/I] [I] - [/I]So, the NCAA is relying on North Carolina to admit it's own culpability first? Yes, UNC[I] "...maintained that the courses did not violate its policies at the time," [/I]but we shouldn't be punished for that because we've got higher standards now. Umm, where there's smoke over the course of years, there is a fire. - The former secretary and professor were wholly responsible for the work from a to zed, yet they were the ones who did not cooperate and, in the end, received a penalty that means squat. I hate to infer anything sinister, but given this whitewash, what the heck: were said individuals encouraged/incentivized not to testify? I'd give them a failing grade but their by-laws probably say they can only grade themselves. [/QUOTE]
