Two administrators perpetuated widespread academic fraud at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill within an academic department consisting of various athletic teams, according to a report published on Wednesday.
The report details how students –many of them athletes –in the University’s African and Afro-American studies department were able to take no-show courses and earn passing grades for doing little to no work, ensuring their eligibility to compete.
UNC Chapel Hill hired former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein, now a partner at the law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, to investigate the matter.
The two administrators in question, former department chairman Julius Nyang’oro and retired administrator Deborah Crowder, decided to cooperate with Wainstein to produce the most detailed examination yet after criminal charges were dropped against them earlier this year.
So far, nine employees have been dismissed or disciplined in connection to the investigation, which started years ago.
