Mary reminds Lissa that the football and basketball players are so ill-prepared for college-level academics that any one of 'em would have to complete remedial work before being fully accepted into a community college!

Coach Roy William's staff receives daily academic updates

Date of Document: Unknown, but most likely after July 2010 following Summer Session I, which marks the end of the academic year.

Summary: Jenn Townsend describes the academic reporting she communicated to the staff of the men's basketball time. Reporting included grades, attendance, and a weekly schedule of upcoming assignments that were due.

Notable revelations: Jenn Townsend had access to the students gradebook in Blackboard. How? Did she have their user accounts and passwords? Did she have instructor level access? Could she see gradebooks for other students in the class?

UNC records show deep dependence on fake classes

Architect of bogus classes got retirement party supported by athletes’ tutoring program

Huge volume of new records made public after media request

Multiple references to athletes’ cheating beyond African studies department

Six years ago, the head of the tutoring program for athletes at UNC-Chapel Hill paved the way for a valued employee to have her retirement party at a spacious, climate-controlled luxury box in Kenan Stadium. He persuaded the athletic department to waive a $1,000 rental fee and offered to pay the $575 tab for wait service and cleanup.

But that employee did not work for the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes, then run by Robert Mercer.

She was Deborah Crowder, the longtime clerical employee at the Department of African and Afro-American Studies who had been providing athletes fake classes for high grades for the previous 16 years.

The correspondence setting up the retirement party is among 215,000 pages of emails and other records UNC released nearly two weeks ago in response to public records requests by The News & Observer and The Daily Tar Heel, UNC’s student newspaper, for all documents provided to former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein. His legal team produced the most comprehensive investigation into the fake class scandal.

Released a year ago, the report found that Crowder and her boss, African studies department chairman Julius Nyang’oro, had run a “shadow curriculum” of classes that had no instruction and offered a high grade for students who simply turned in a paper.

Crowder began the classes in 1993 after complaints from counselors in the athletes’ tutoring program about independent studies that were too rigorous. Athletes – particularly those in the money-making sports of football and basketball – made up roughly half of the 3,100 students who took at least one class before they were halted in 2011.

The 215,000 pages are a small portion of the roughly 5 million pages of records provided to Wainstein. An initial review – based on searches for the names of some of the people involved in the scandal – gives a view into how dependent the athletes’ tutoring program was on Crowder’s fake classes and how slow UNC officials were in coming to grips with what experts now call the worst academic scandal in NCAA history.

The records also show evidence of athletes cheating in classes outside of African studies.

The first sign of the fake classes came in July 2011, when rival N.C. State fans found a former football player’s Swahili paper filled with plagiarism. He listed Nyang’oro as the professor.

The News & Observer confirmed the plagiarism in a front-page story. The next day, Nyang’oro’s boss, Jonathan Hartlyn, a senior associate dean in the arts and sciences college, sent him an email giving little more than a heads up that the story had been published.

“Dear Julius,” Hartlyn wrote in the July 18 email, “Fyi only, in case you did not see it, story on page 1 of Sunday News and Observer. No need to reply.”

It wasn’t until a second N&O story, about an incoming freshman football player who received a high grade in an upper-level class, that the university decided to take a deeper look.

Numerous other records show academic officials dismissing or downplaying evidence showing the athletic connections to the scandal, the possibility that the fake classes involved others beyond Nyang’oro and Crowder, or that other departments might be involved.

Several faculty scoffed when the N&O reported in May 2013 on former faculty leader Jan Boxill’s successful effort to remove language in a faculty report suggesting a motive for her friend Crowder’s actions – that she was an athletics supporter with close ties to athletics staff. A second story two months later uncovered an email Boxill wrote showing she suggested the change to keep the NCAA away.

Among the skeptics was Kevin Guskiewicz, an exercise and sports science professor recently named dean of UNC’s College of Arts and Sciences.

“I think he’s running on empty and this article most certainly won’t help him win a Pulitzer,” Guskiewicz wrote of the N&O reporter in an email on May 19, 2013.

Wainstein later found that Boxill, the longtime academic counselor to the women’s basketball team, knew the classes had no professor and steered players to them. Wainstein also determined Boxill sought the changes to the report to “insulate” the athletic department from further scrutiny.

The newly released emails further confirm the tight connection between Crowder and the tutoring program that relied on her to help keep athletes eligible.

One email shows Wayne Walden, the counselor for the men’s basketball team, making arrangements to provide her four tickets to a home game against Rutgers University in December 2008. Another from Mercer, the former tutoring program director, shows Crowder and Nyang’oro being named “guest coaches” for a 2005 football game.

Harold Woodard, the associate dean who was Mercer’s boss, went to him to reserve the luxury box for Crowder’s retirement, the emails show.

“Debby has been a very valuable resource for a large number of our students, and is most deserving of this recognition,” he wrote.

Woodard could not be reached for comment. He told Wainstein he was aware athletes were heavily enrolled in independent studies from the African studies department, but he did not know many of those and others disguised as lecture classes were fake.

Rick White, a UNC spokesman, said in an email the university would not comment on the records.

“While you’ll find references to past events or actions ... Carolina has acknowledged and accepted responsibility for the past and has committed to meaningful, long-term reforms that strike the right balance between academics and athletics,” he said.

Boxill and other faculty were also dismissive of Jay Smith, the history professor who publicly and repeatedly pushed for the university to fully investigate the fake classes.

Noting that Smith was on a panel at UNC talking about the scandal, Boxill told another professor in an April 24, 2013, email: “That wouldn’t be so bad if he actually knew what he was talking about.”

‘Something...deeply broken’

The records also show several instances of professors reporting evidence of athletes cheating in classes outside of the African studies department, none of which had become public.

One faculty member, Laurie Maffly-Kipp, sought to keep two cases out of the public eye. The university’s student-run honor court had rejected both cases to the dismay of the two distinguished religious studies professors – Bart Ehrman and Jodi Magness – who reported them.

Noting that two top professors were making the allegations, Maffly-Kipp wrote to Boxill on Feb. 21, 2013: “On the face of it, reading their accounts, I have to agree that something is deeply broken here. Worse still, both cases involve athletes-and given the larger context in which we are now operating it would be folly not to address these concerns in some way. ... Suffice it to say that Jodi Magness also volunteered that she would take this to the media if something was not corrected. None of us needs that, to be sure.”

It is unclear what sports the athletes played. Magness said she did not recall what sport, and Ehrman said he wouldn’t talk about his case out of student privacy concerns.

Magness said her concern wasn’t over the fact an athlete was involved. She saw a dysfunctional and inexperienced honor court and launched an online petition among faculty to press for reforms. A review had already been underway; two months later, the university announced that the faculty and students had reached agreement on changes to the honor court to include faculty and graduate student oversight.

Maffly-Kipp and former Chancellor Holden Thorp left UNC at the end of the 2012-13 academic year. Both now work at Washington University in St. Louis.

Maffly-Kipp said in an interview she was not trying to protect athletics in her comments to Boxill.

“Jodi volunteered that she would take this to the media if this was not corrected,” Maffly-Kipp said. “My point was to try to press for something to be corrected. We don’t need this coming out as a scandal of another sort. We need this to be corrected. It was to pressure Jan to do something.”

‘Zero allegations’ of fraud

Nyang’oro’s former boss, Hartlyn, co-authored UNC’s first report into the fake classes. Released in May 2012, it found no evidence of an athletic scandal because non-athletes had also enrolled and were treated the same. It did not disclose the disproportionate numbers of athlete enrollments in the classes, nor did it explore the athlete tutoring program’s assistance in enrolling them. Wainstein found several tutoring staff knew Crowder ran and graded the classes.

Hartlyn could not be reached.

The NCAA is investigating the fake classes, but in a notice of allegations it sent to UNC in May it did not cite them as evidence of academic fraud. The NCAA instead is calling them impermissible benefits. Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham told Faculty Athletic Committee members in a recent meeting there were “zero allegations” of academic fraud from the NCAA, according to The Daily Tar Heel.

The NCAA has not explained its notice of allegations, but President Mark Emmert and others have said in general that the association does not have the jurisdiction to determine the legitimacy of classes. That is left up to the member schools.

UNC’s reports into the fake classes have typically labeled them “irregular,” “aberrant” or “anomalous.” White, the UNC spokesman, recently declined to answer if the university saw them as fraudulent.

But the newly released records show at least one official – Thorp – called them that.

In a July 20, 2012, email to faculty, Thorp wrote: “We disclosed this academic fraud, and we are fixing it.”

Who helmed this data dump? Mike Nifong? I find it interesting that Wainstein had all these in a "searchable" format. When unx ( finally! ) released 'em they weren't. Oh yeah. "Transparency." "Carolina Commitment." "Reform." "Moving forward." #carolinaway...


unc records: 215,000 pages and no search function

Records prep cost $4 million, but searches were impossible

University says it will eventually release 5 million pages and make them all searchable

Some critics complain about cost of producing records

When unc-Chapel Hill released Kenneth Wainstein’s report a year ago, it included hundreds of emails and other pieces of evidence in a searchable electronic file. unc did the same several months later, when the NCAA released its notice of allegations for the case.

But last month, when the university released 215,000 pages of records in the first step toward releasing all 5 million pages obtained by Wainstein for his investigation, they were not put in a searchable format. That meant the public would potentially have to read each page to identify anything significant that the former federal prosecutor may have missed.

unc estimates the cost to produce these records at $4 million so far, according to records and interviews, making it the biggest and most expensive public records work in the university’s history. But only now, after requests from The News & Observer, has unc agreed to make those digital records searchable.

Rick White, a unc spokesman, said in an interview that the university is working to convert the first batch into a searchable format, and as for subsequent batches, “I would anticipate they would be searchable too.” He said the university’s first concern was making sure no information that should be kept private was released.

In August, the university reported finding within the records more potential NCAA allegations involving Jan Boxill, the former faculty leader who had been a longtime academic counselor to women’s basketball. White said he didn’t know if Bond, Schoeneck & King, the law firm representing unc in the NCAA case, has the records in a searchable format.

The university has refused numerous requests from the N&O to produce the records related to the additional allegations immediately.

Wainstein had previously told the unc Board of Governors that his firm had the records in a searchable format to more quickly identify important strings of information. He referred questions about the records to unc.

White said the task of reviewing and redacting the records of any material protected under privacy laws first fell to Wainstein’s firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft. Firm billings show unc spent roughly $2.7 million on this effort, with much of that money going to contract attorneys who charged roughly $95 an hour.

White said unc officials grew worried that Cadwalader’s charges were too costly, and switched to a local firm in August. That firm, University Temporary Services of Raleigh, has more than 30 full-time reviewers working on the records, at a projected $1.1 million cost to unc.

White said unc has hired a third firm, carolina Legal Staffing, for additional document reviewing at a cost of $185,000.

“Of course, final costs won’t be available until the project is completed,” White said in an emailed statement.

In an interview, White said that’s likely to take many months, if not more than a year, before all the records are released. The News & Observer and The Daily Tar Heel, unc’s student newspaper, made the requests for the records last year.

The N&O, WRAL and other media, as well as rival N.C. State fans, have been converting the first batch of records into searchable formats, turning up more information.

Some unc supporters have complained about the cost of producing the records. Daren Lucas, unc’s former ticket operations manager, in a tweet noting the $4 million cost, wrote: “Public schools shouldnt (sic) fund media research.”

Beth Bridger Email Regarding Testing Athletes for Learning Disabilities

Document: Beth Bridger emails Lyn (email redacted) regarding LD/ADHD testing for the football team. Says that Academic Support "on occasion" uses the results to petition for course substitutions.

Key Facts: Beth Bridger says "narratives have been streamlined in order for you to get results back to us in a timely fashion". Also says it will be a "busy few weeks of testing for the football team"?

Questions: Was unc testing the entire football team? On what basis were athletes tested? Were any non-athletes tested, and if not, was this an impermissible benefit?

Apparently not. A day or two prior , unx "miraculously" discovered more infractions in men's soccer and women's basketball ( 2 sports that unx is more than willing to throw under the bus to salvage Roy , Dean and football ) and self-reported themselves. This extended the process...which was exactly the point. unx wants to get thru this fball and bball season before sanctions. It was a transparent move of self-preservation and , I'm hearin' , the NCAA saw right thru it and was none too happy about it. Also hearin' it caused the NCAA to issue another NOA ( this week! ) but unx bein' unx , we won't know for sure until they decide when and HOW to release it. #redactions

"Questionable" evaluations of ADHD by unc-hired neuropsych Lyn Johnson. Most everyone sent got diagnosis.

Description: unc hired Chapel Hill neuropsychologist to do LD testing.Almost everyone sent for ADHD testing received diagnosis. Reports felt "thin". Concern that testing was inadequate. Doctor from Univ. of Washington called the methods used "questionable." Used "off-label" methods not designed to test for ADHD.

Concerns raised by sports psychologist Bradley Hack and Dr. Ciocca regarding reports and instruments used by Dr. Lyn Johnson to diagnose ADHD.

The first e-mail says it all...

"We have a neuropsychologist in Chapel Hill...who does all of the ADHD evals for the student-athletes...when I've come across her reports they felt a bit thin on data and testing...it seems that most everyone they send to her comes back with an ADHD dx ( diagnosis ). I'm a bit concerned that the testing she does is inadequate...I just want to make sure they're done properly."

Check the e-mail. Lissa Broome throwin' shade on UConn. "Hypocrite," much...?

Lissa Broome: A unc-CH law professor, Broome led the Faculty Committee on Athletics for several years before becoming the university’s faculty representative to the ACC and NCAA. Broome was in charge when the committee asked if there was reason to be concerned about independent studies at unc-CH after a scandal involving those classes at Auburn University in 2006. The committee assigned that task to academic support officials, and minutes show no one saw a problem.

unc faculty athletics representative reappointed

A unc-Chapel Hill law professor involved with athletics for years will continue as the university’s faculty athletics representative, despite calls from some for new blood in the role...But some faculty were dismayed with the decision to extend Broome’s role in athletic matters, given a long-running scandal that has bruised the university’s reputation...For years in the early 1990s and 2000s, Broome served on the Faculty Athletics Committee, a group that is designed to be a watchdog over the academic-athletic balance at unc.

“I associate her with a tradition of benign neglect that was apparent all across the university,” said Jay Smith, a history professor and co-author of “Cheated,” a book about the unc scandal. “She was in a particularly sensitive leadership role, and where she could have done things, she failed to do them. That’s why this is such a puzzling decision.”

Folt defended her decision. She said a review committee expressed strong support for Broome after the first full evaluation of a faculty athletics representative at unc.

University completes six personnel reviews after Wainstein investigation

After a comprehensive process, the University has completed personnel reviews for six employees named in the independent investigation of academic irregularities conducted by Kenneth Wainstein. The University has ended the employment of two additional individuals, permanently restricted one faculty member from future administrative responsibilities, and cleared three other employees.

Folt invoked her right under state law to disclose the following review results to protect the reputation and integrity of the University:

Brent Blanton, associate director of the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA), held an at-will position exempt from the North carolina Human Resources Act, and his employment was discontinued effective today (Nov. 12). This action was taken in accordance with unc system and University policies. A copy of his discontinuation letter is available here.

Travis Gore, administrative assistant in the Department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies, was terminated from that position effective today (Nov. 12). This action was taken in accordance with state law and University policies relating to employees subject to the North carolina Human Resources Act. A copy of his dismissal letter is available here.

Roberta (Bobbi) Owen, professor of dramatic art and former senior associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, is permanently restricted from having any future programmatic or administrative leadership responsibilities at the University. Her faculty employment is not otherwise affected. A copy of her notification letter is available here.

Three other employees were cleared of wrongdoing: Corey Holliday, associate director of athletics; Alphonse Mutima, lecturer, Department of African, African-American and Diaspora Studies; and Andre’ Williams, associate director of development, Arts and Sciences Foundation, and former director of football student-athlete development. Their notification letters are posted here, here and here.

The unc Scandal: Managing Expectations and Allegations

Talk still hasn’t stopped regarding the NCAA’s academic investigation of unc.

...the NCAA is apparently prepared to hand down one of the strictest penalties ever for academic wrongdoing.

...will Hall-of-Fame caliber head coach Roy Williams go out with a reputation as tarnished as Joe Paterno

The further the NCAA digs, the more Williams must become compromised. A scandal of this magnitude does not go on for 18 years without the head coach knowing about it.

The case is expected to go in front of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions in December. After that, the committee will make a ruling within 90 days of the hearing, bringing a potential decision date dangerously close to the beginning of the 2016 NCAA tournament.

I don’t think the Tar Heels will receive the death penalty, however, even though they may deserve it.

Because the misconduct was done under an academic department and was not limited to a single sport, the NCAA will either have to penalize all of unc’s sports teams whose players took the illegitimate classes

I would expect the NCAA to hand North carolina basketball a penalty similar to this: postseason bans in 2017-19, a few years of probation, mandated vacation of their 2005 National Championship, and some scholarship reductions.

Re: unc Scandal Thread Pg27 Retialiation Pg28 unc fires more peo

These firings (and clearings) are the direct result of unc getting 'wind' of a harsher than expected hammer from the ncaa. They are PR'ing the old, " see us how committed we are " to clean house and co-operate " prior to receiving punishment for " irregular " classes and other less offenses. unc is being laughed at in private quarters at the NCAA.

The irony is that all the money they spend will not clear their name. The sexual assault issues are beyond serious and are more egregious than the athletic cheating scandal. And here is the topper : they are asking for more publicsporting of unc gear by their fans.....a " we stand behind unc, our school ".

Keep up the pressure PP. This issue is about more than sports...
