A lot of professional language that could be summarized as: "You thought you could brush us off and hide information from us last time? Well here comes the hammer. Think very carefully about how you want to respond this time."

The very end of the letter in the link in the tweet says that the response was due Jan 7, 2015. And here it is:https://oira.unc.edu/files/2015/01/UNC-Chapel-Hill-Report-to-SACSCOC-Redacted-for-Public-Release.pdf

This is an interesting exercise:
Go to Google Maps App.
Type cheats into the Search bar and see what comes up.
 
I haven't heard anything in awhile, is the NCAA just going to let this fade away without an consequences whatsoever?

I couldn't get it to work here at the office...then I realized my IP is San Francisco based. On my phone here in CLT it actually pulled up USC 1st and listed UNC second the first time I ran the search. Every subsequent search has only returned USC.
 
Really quick summary: We had employees who wouldn't talk to us, so we didn't know anything until the DA made them talk. We had some bad employees who didn't follow the rules. We fired them. We wrote new rules for everybody to follow.

A few paragraphs on independent study follow (bottom of page 100 - top of 101)

"This section regarding “Independent Studies for Credit” was first incorporated in the Undergraduate
Bulletin in the 2010-2011 edition. A 12-hour limit on departmental independent study credits was
initially included in the 2006-2007 Bulletin as an addition to the existing policy on “Special Studies for
Credit.” Until Fall 2006 there was no defined limit on the number of independent study courses that
could be applied toward an undergraduate degree.


The graduation coordinator, a Dean’s designee, is responsible for certifying courses towards graduation
and has the authority to grant an exception for any degree requirement other than a minimum 120
credit hours and a 2.0 minimum required G.P.A. A graduation coordinator in place from 1988 until
retirement in 2008 did not limit the number of independent study courses that could be applied
toward graduation of any students. UNC-Chapel Hill began considering the number of Independent
Studies completed as part of the graduation certification process when the Fall 2006 cohort began
graduating (Spring 2010). Based on the language of the Undergraduate Bulletin as well as the practical
application by its administration, there was no limit on the number of independent study courses
that could be applied toward graduation until students entered in the Fall 2006 semester. Prior to
the 2012, there also were no procedures in place for monitoring enrollments in independent studies.
As with other areas related to academic integrity, the University has implemented a comprehensive
degree audit system that provides additional checks and balances for the graduation coordinator and
University.


In light of the effectiveness of the current policies and procedures, the University feels strongly that
had the current checks and balances been in place prior to 2012, the irregularities in AFAM would not
have persisted for any length of time, or more likely would not have occurred. As critical and effective
as the current reforms related to Independent Studies are, they stand in stark contrast to the lack of
any real policies or procedures prior to this period."
 
And Breaking News: CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- UNC athletes Rashanda McCants and Devon Ramsay have filed a class action lawsuit against UNC and the NCAA.

ETA: Better article & info: http://www.wral.com/lawsuit-by-former-unc-ch-athletes-seeks-educational-reforms/14379486/

A class-action lawsuit filed Thursday by former student-athletes at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill seeks educational reforms to ensure other student-athletes get a proper education.

The 100-page lawsuit was filed on behalf of former women's basketball player Rashanda McCants and former football player Devon Ramsay against UNC-Chapel Hill and the NCAA.

The lawsuit seeks educational reforms, including an independent committee in the NCAA to ensure athletes get a proper education, as well as financial compensation for college athletes.

Raleigh attorney Bob Orr, who is representing the athletes, compared the suit to the long-running Leandro lawsuits challenging state funding to poor school districts in North Carolina and seeking a sound education for all public school students.

This never gets old...."This case involves allegations of breach of contract against UNC for a failure to provide "academically sound classes with legitimate educational instruction.""
