[quote=Anonymous]Calling UNC a "cheat school" and criticizing the scandal (which ended in 2011..) is ridiculous. Yes, there were some paper classes in the AAAD department. But does this mean the whole school is a joke? No. It means that some athletes degrees shouldn't be as highly regarded, but UNC still has top professors in many fields that challenge their students daily. UNC shouldn't be less acclaimed as a whole just because of two athletic departments and one academic department. The sanctions on UNC are just to prove a point.

Football powerhouse schools do the same things to their athletes. If these paper classes were found at University of Alabama or Ole Miss, it wouldn't even make headlines. The fact is, it happened at UNC, a prestigious school, so its a scandal.

To call it a poor school is clearly just ignorant, as UNC still holds a spot in the top 5 public universities. The "cheating" only applies to African Studies students and athletes in certain sports who graduated before 2011. And honestly, what is worse? Paper classes, or an administration that buries rape allegations for the honor of the school and whose students berate others for wanting to report sexual assault? [/quote]
