re: UNC Admits Academic Fraud: Lack Of Institutional Controls, *NCAA Issues 3rd NOA

In public remarks at a Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, Folt said the university accepts responsibility and is “absolutely” accountable for years of bogus African studies courses that were significantly populated by athletes. And, Folt said, the university must “fully acknowledge and accept lessons of our past” before moving toward meaningful athletic and academic reform.

Until Thursday, Folt had been comfortable letting Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham and Provost Jim Dean do most of the talking about the scandals.

But Folt stepped forward after more than a week of explosive headlines and national news coverage about the literacy levels of UNC basketball and football players.
