I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well:
Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe that. To use the brutal, tragic, and senseless murder of a young woman to hide behind and/or shirk responsibility for gross corruption, academic and athletic mismanagement, and the two-faced, rank hypocrisy of claiming to be holier than thou compared to EVERYBODY – wow. Just wow. There are some lines you just don’t cross, ever. I would expect an average seven year old to understand this particular boundary. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that Moeser apparently lacks the intellect and/or conscience of same. But I am surprised, shocked, and disgusted.
Moeser “led” the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2000-2008 (definitely some overlap into the actual corruption). He knows better, without question. If he had his head buried in the sand since the moment he left Chapel Hill – he would still HAVE to know better. I thank Wikipedia for confirming that he wasn’t Chancellor in 1998, so I don’t have to burn my graduate school diploma in disgust. But that doesn’t take away the sick feeling in my stomach. Nothing ever will.
In my view, this is a seminal moment. A point of no return, if you will. Hence the title, appropriate both in spirit and historical context. Look it up if you have to.
