Wufpup — can you email me at [email protected]?
Might as well keep this flowing in this entry. It looks like UNC’s General Counsel is leaving. You can best believe anyone that is hired here will be as big of a puppet and Tar heel apologizer as Tom Ross and Carol Folt have proven to be. Link to DTH article.
After staying on to help the University handle the aftermath of the Wainstein report, UNC’s longtime General Counsel Leslie Strohm will leave her post in January.
Strohm, who will take on a similar position at the University of Louisville, has run UNC’s general counsel office for more than 11 years.
“When U of L signaled that it was ready to extend an offer, I respectfully requested that it wait until the Wainstein report was released,” Strohm said in an email. “I wanted to be here to support Chancellor Folt through the end of the Wainstein review process.”
But those who have been on the other side of a University lawsuit say her office is reluctant to make policy changes.
Mary Willingham, the former athletic learning specialist suing the University for creating a hostile working environment, said Strohm’s office fails students by not protecting their academic integrity.
“It’s pretty clear now that the general counsel was a part of the cover-up (of the athletic scandal),” Willingham said, saying Strohm’s office first investigated UNC’s athletic-academic scandal, but did not unearth the biggest pieces of information that were brought forward in the Wainstein report.
“I voiced my concern (in 2013) that we still weren’t getting to the truth with our academics and athletics. They should have uncovered the truth. The truth is in the transcripts — it’s that simple.”
Andrea Pino, who filed a federal complaint against the University for its handling of her sexual assault case with four others in 2013, said Strohm’s office initially resisted changing the University’s sexual assault policy.
“We knew that when it would get to Leslie’s office it wouldn’t move from there,” Pino said. “Until the complaint was filed, there was never any talk of policy changes — it was set in stone.”
Pino said Strohm’s office viewed her complaint as an attack on the University, not a way to better the campus.
I do admit it is hard for me to follow BobLee’s writing as I get older. Nonetheless, interesting stuff and thanks so much for sharing!
Actually…I don’t think it would be that full. I think the size of Cameron Indoor plays perfectly for them. If it were much bigger they’d be empty
On the flip side, Brissett’s ability to run with the ball really creates balance for us and helps us on some key erd downs.
Brissett simply cannot hit a long ball to save his life. It is SO LIMITING to the offense to basically not be able to complete a pass that is more than 25 yards in the air.
deenz — I’m not sure that was the first time in his career that funneling money (kickbacks) from media deals was a strategy used by certain parties. Would be really interesting for all of us to know the complete truth about some of these past dealings. But, its WAY too far in the past and there is no way records would exist to support anything. Interesting, however.
Omg. Katz interviewing Swoff is insufferable. Swofford is a damn liar. He literally has the UNC talking points. Katz says the “coaches are exonerated.” Swofford saying not a coaches place to be involved in academics. Separation of church and state, he says. Biggest fear of UNC case? I don’t have a fear and ncaa needs to act and UNC is ready to move forward.
Total bullshit.
gaudio says “keep in mind you’re seeing two graduates talk about it.” Good for him. He lost his job in part to those cheaters.
But mostly the ESPN talking heads are sucking UNC’s pecker.
Deshaun Watson’s got 206 total yards and has accounted for 3 TDs
@TechSports: End of first quarter. Total yardage: Clemson-252, NC State-4
We weren’t going to win this one…so, maybe getting smoked will be good for our young guys who were told all week how great they were for losing.
Clemson has already converted 4 3rd and 5 or longer situations without throwing a pass past the line of scrimmage.
I love the use of replay and you will not find anyone more committed to wanting to get every call right. But the use of replay to simply ‘confirm’ so many calls that aren’t even controversial goes to show what kind of a crutch replay has become for officials. Move on with it!
State’s defense is looking just like State’s defense.
I think everyone discounted or dismissed how bad our defense has been this year because of being blinded with how much fun our offense has been to watch in recent weeks.
56 yard TD pass for DeShaun Watson and Clemson leads by 7.
Our defense didn’t look awful the first 5 or 6 plays….and then….yuck
We obviously need help at LB…so, projecting out this much size and athleticism to LB makes total sense.
