It's UNC-Chapel Hill. Not UNC at Chapel Hill.

Oh, just stop. Insufferable d-bag.

Insufferable and wrong. https://www.unc.edu/ "The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"

+1. I wrote for the Daily Tar Heel. The J-school beat it into us that the full name of our school was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Thank you.

That should shut up this person who thinks it is their place to edit other Poster’s minuteae !

It may be the "University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill," but it is never "UNC at Chapel Hill." It's "UNC-Chapel Hill."

Prove me wrong.

That said, it is really difficult to get in OOS and they usually have a really good basketball team.

They should never have extended an offer to that publicity-seeking train wreck.

Agreed.

They gave As to athletes who never attended classes. Approved by the academic side of the school.

What crap school!

That is dook. Their basketball players get paid and actually take classes administered by the basketball program itself.

UNC’s “scandal” was that the entire AFAM program lacked rigor. All students, not just athletes were getting grade gifts. Sad statement but a bit different.

It’s the Southern PART of Heaven. Not side. It’s from a book.

My kid’s DC based school has had multiple Morehead Scholars in just the last few years.

If you say something is wrong,
You should be the one to prove it.

This doesn't negate the criticism. In fact, it makes it worse.

WTH does this mean? Their house has been in order since 1789.

Ne poster here -- Yeah, in the sense that it's a good school. But for anyone who follows the Nicole Hannah-Jones fiasco, choosing UNC Chapel Hill at this point in time telegraphs certain values, or disregard for certain values, that feels icky to me. I would discourage my child from choosing the school for a while, but that's just me. I'm a college professor deeply invested in diverse hiring practices, so I also understand if my thoughts about this are more involved or perhaps if others didn't catch the scandal.

PP here. It's not that I didn't "catch the scandal," it's that I completely disagree with you. How narcissistic and pious of you to state that your child's choice of school would "telegraph certain values" and that that "feels icky" to you. I hope you're not an English professor at an accredited college.

English isn't my field but why would that matter -- because I typed quickly on a message board and made some typos? Is that what you mean? Lol at "accredited college" -- yes, my university has multiple accreditations. But why are you upset that I want to put money and affiliate with institutions that align with my values? I mean, ultimately up to my kid to decide, but fit matters. You are fooling yourself to think that the climate at UNC-CH isn't affected by leadership. If you want to send your kid there by all means do, especially if it's in state. But my personal choice would be to avoid it if possible. That's my opinion. Not sure why it would be narcissistic...that's a reach, and doesn't really make sense given that what I am saying is I want to see more BIPOC academics recognized formally and I support NH-J.

Perhaps pp is referring to the fact that phrases such as “feeling icky” are better suited for use by kindergarten teachers than college professors. Just a guess.

UNC grad here. The comments about UF academics remind me of all the schools that say they are UNC rivals in basketball. I know graduates of several schools who reminisce fondly about following the UNC-[some generic school] rivalry during their college days. It's always kind of embarrassing because I'm like "What rivalry?"

DP. What a dumb post. PPs comments, including that sending a kid to UNC right now would "feel icky" are completely clear and concise. It's sad when mediocre minds confuse formality with erudition.

Exactly. Like when Maryland basketball plays/played up its “Duke rivalry.” Isn’t that cute?
