'Definitely compounded by inaction and the lack of really appropriate checks and balances'
(Digital Journal) Embroiled in a staggering academic fraud-related scandal that lasted nearly 20 years and fueled by indifference and lack of oversight, the University of North Carolina (UNC) is reeling from the fallout.
The latest report showed that university leaders, faculty and staff either missed or ignored red flags that could have put a stop to the problem years earlier, WJLA reports. At least 3,100 students — half of them athletes — benefited from fake classes and grades that were artificially inflated in the former African and Afro-American Studies department (AFAM) in Chapel Hill.

If you think grades aren't inflated and bad behavior overlooked for certain groups of high school athletes, you're out of touch.
Exactly correct 1:28. I have see many kids grades changed or just simply made up so they can play sports and graduate from high school. 5 years into highschool and their still freshmen. All of a sudden they have the credits to graduate. Must have taken an African american studies class.
