Records stolen from UNC Honor Court building — UNC declines comment on any connection between break-in and McAdoo case

UNC Scandal36

There is nothing to say other than “wow.”  Here is the full N & O story.

At 8 a.m. Monday, UNC-CH officials discovered that the student judicial system office in Student and Academic Services Building North had been broken into and 31 students’ confidential records stolen, according to a news release.

…

The student judicial system office contains the Honor Court, which came up at last week’s UNC-CH board of trustee’s meeting. The Honor Court disciplined Michael McAdoo, a football player, for receiving impermissible help on a paper from a tutor last year, but failed to catch plagiarism.

UNC-CH declined to comment on any connection between McAdoo’s case and the break-in.

    You just can’t make this stuff up! I gotta run to the store and get some more popcorn. Hollywoods got nothing on real life. Here’s hoping some director decides to make this whole soap opera into a movie of the week. As a title I’m going with “The Carolina Way”

    Turfpack, it looks like we were on the same page.

    We don’t live in an age where records are kept in one archive on paper. They’re all kept on servers with redundant backups, emergency power supplies, etc. The thieves couldn’t have made the records unobtainable to university officials or potential investigators. UNC must still have copies unless it was an inside job or the thieves were seriously capable.

    That leads me to believe this was a theft in an attempt to access and disseminate information, not censor it. That or the practical joke of the year. I think it was somebody connected to some sort of media looking to break a story open.

    I’m as interested as anybody to see what comes out of this. I want to know who the 31 students were and if there was a reason they were targeted. Hell, didn’t they stymie the investigation earlier in the interest of “protecting students’ privacy?” But so help me, if I find out some overzealous Wolfpackers did this and bring Chapel Hill’s taint back to my fair Raleigh, I’ll be first in line with a pitchfork and lynching rope.

    It seems that it would almost have to be an inside job. How else would someone know to take 31 specific files. Think about it. How would someone on the outside know what files to take. Surely 31 random files were not taken.

    Love the pics and ‘Holegate’ take on this … This is just too much!

    Can’t get the smirk off my face.

    I’d search the scene carefully for traces of cupcake icing.

    Oh, and watch for any $700 “gifts” from J. Wiley to help repair the damages related to the break-in.

  15. PackerInRussia 08/02/2011 at 1:36 AM #

    Great point logarithm. It will be interesting to see if this “inconvenient” break-in is blamed for not being able to cooperate in any investigation into academics in athletics. Surely there is some electronic form of these records.

    Look, if the honor court over there has not progressed far enough into the 21st century to invest in software to detect plagiarism, then not maintaining extensive and/or full digital records of files is not far removed from what one would assume to be common protocol–or what they are willing to admit as their protocol.

    The monkey board jokingly reported that they found a set of footprints, size 16.

    Does this mean there were 17 other football players that we did not know about or 4 more football players and 13 basketball players. Just when I think this is headed in one direction another prong explodes!

    Hey NCAA… they just don’t ‘get it.’

    Things to think about in the cold sober light of the day

    -Records were ALL that was stolen (thief has specific intent)
    -Records that surely are backed up in a computer somewhere so they are not somehow destroying evidence

    WHO HAS MOTIVE (only 2 scenarios I see)
    1. Football player that needed information concerning his lawsuit
    OR
    2.Someone with a grudge against the UNC-Athletics that wanted to release damaging evidence against them. If the files somehow show up on the internet, then the likelihood of this case is very strong. NOW WHO HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST THE HEELS?? I know of no one that might not like the Heels. They are just so lovable.

    As for me, I am Sargent Schultz “I know nothing, absolutely nothing”

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all paper records. They were still using those distribution folders with records that were passed and signed off on from office to office in Holliday Hall as recently as 2000. The administrative departments are always the last to change. Think Status QuOblinger new how to use pdfs, backups and raid arrays?

    I would not be surprised if this was a insider unxer that is fed up with the ongoing damage to the university by these athletic shennanigans and wants to get the info to a media type-maybe had access (and knowledge of the location) to the files and plans to/has released them to a sleuthing media type…

  25. tuckerdorm1983 08/02/2011 at 8:25 AM #

    If it is football player’s files that were stolen, then I figure it is an outsider that wants to hurt to school. McAdoo would surely have subpoena power even if they are examined by the court but not released. My dear Watson, elementary.
