UNC Cheating Scandal NCAA - The University of North Carolina is part of a new scandal as they face the NCAA regulating the classes and grades and finding out that there has been cheating and fake classes, it seems.
There was one department that did stand out from all the others regarding the cheating grades. That was the African and Afro-American Department that was located in Chapel Hill.
Classes given by this department had about 3,100 students, and half of this quantity included athletes, who benefited from automatic A's and B's it seems, The Washington Post noted.
The problem and the cheating scandal persisted for about 20 years, from 1993 to 2011, as during that time the classes didn't require any assistance and what it did require was one research paper that was not thoroughly reviewed and suspiciously all the grades went from A, to B+ to B.
Out of this UNC cheating scandal, nine faculty members have been fired or are under disciplinary review and the NCAA is analyzing what will be done next, as Fox News has stated.
One of the issues that arose is the fact that UNC has won several awards regarding Basketball, for instance. The program won three national titles during the span of time that regards the scandal, and the faculty has in total five awards at the moment.
Because half of the students that got benefited by the cheating scandal and fake grades are athletes, the NCAA and UNC itself is analyzing if the wins and championships will be vacated.
"If we go back with the NCAA in our joint review, and... if we've identified that we have played students who were ineligible, then obviously we would have to vacate wins at that time," Bubba Cunningham, the UNC athletic director said.
Other students are outraged at the cheating scandal that the UNC is facing and not just due to NCAA or the athletes, but the fact that this could happen at all and "corruption" took place instead of legitimate grading.
