Officials have repeatedly denied that the fiasco’s roots trace to an illicit agenda that, in the name of coddling a disproportionately black undergraduate athlete population, has left many students intellectually crippled.
This is a chicken-egg issue that is going to be difficult to trace to a single, root cause. The bottom line question comes down to…..Did Prof ‘Roo create a crippled curriculum for athletes or did it do it for AA students (and quickly discovered by athletic dept academic advisers)? Boblee made this distinction several years ago and AFAIK, UNC has never attempted to answer it.
In a culture where a sizable number of people vote for a living instead of working for one, this won’t be an easy issue to resolve.
