New Bloomberg turns its attention to UNC Faculty Council Chair Boxill

[wufpup76]

“One of the most dismaying aspects of the UNC affair is that top university officials have consistently tried to obfuscate the connection between the Athletic Department’s goal of fielding top-flight teams and the creation of hundreds of phony classes going back to the early 1990s.”

^Never thought I’d see that in print.

I can’t seem to put my finger on the roots to the fresh chum in the water.

It’s comming in on a different current.

While not exclusively UNX, our beloved “Flagship” is the centerpiece of the article…

I wonder why the sudden flurry of national pub. but i am enjoying it thoroughly

At “low heat” and without a lid…. sometimes it takes a long time for a pot of water to come to a boil.
And as you engineers know… there is something in that old physics heat/pressure equation that explains why time to boil is exponential.

Mr. Dog’s radar, as usual, has locked in on something….

Maybe…that’s all about “invisible people”…
And maybe the “invisible” anti-NCAA crowd has figured out that UNx can be their Trojan horse that ultimately brings the NCAA down. Frankly, they could care less about UNx and some of them may even live in places like California or Pennsylvania.

As for the media… they are just willing participants trying to sell some ad space.

Just sit back, pop your corn, get a cold beer and enjoy the show… we are watching the previews…
The ‘Big Show’ has yet to begin…

Anybody want to start a pool on the date… UNx at the top academic levels…. responds to all this “new attention” ??
