GREENSBORO — Another employee involved in the academic scandal at UNC-Chapel Hill has resigned.
Jeanette (Jan) Boxill submitted a letter for retirement on March 2, stating her retirement was effective Feb. 28, according to documents provided by the university. Boxill was a philosophy professor and one of the people named in the Kenneth Wainstein report.
quote:
Boxill was named in the report as helping point student athletes to the paper classes, and suggesting grades for some students.
Boxill was given notice by Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost James Dean Jr. that she would be fired on Oct. 22, the same day the Wainstein report was made public.
Boxill was appealing the termination until she announced her resignation, according to Rick White, associate vice chancellor for communications and public affairs for the university.
"Dr. Boxill has indicated her intent to seek retirement benefits based on her years of service as provided to state employees under North Carolina law," White said.
quote:
Boxill was one of four employees disciplined. Academic counselor Jaimie Lee was terminated and senior lecturer Timothy McMillan resigned, according to information provided by the university. Beth Bridger, who worked at UNC-Chapel Hill at the time of the paper classes, but was employed with UNC-Wilmington lost her job the day the report came out.

CBS calling out the NCAA.
I bet Roy Williams also asked the interviewer what his definition of the word "is" was. (Bill Clinton joke, some of y'all might remember that.)

North Carolina academic case puts NCAA and its 'mission' on trial
quote:
As another NCAA tournament starts and with the 10th anniversary of that title next month, the anticipation of North Carolina's athletic fate intensifies. A star player on that '05 team, Rashad McCants, told ESPN last year he did not attend a single class in which he received an A in that 2005 spring semester. McCants added that he was "100 percent" sure coach Roy Williams knew about the bogus classes.
In denying McCants' accusations, Williams told Sports Illustrated, "What Rashad McCants said was not true. As opposed to saying he lied, I'd like to say that what he said is not right.
I bet Roy Williams also asked the interviewer what his definition of the word "is" was. (Bill Clinton joke, some of y'all might remember that.) quote:
Academic integrity goes to the heart of the NCAA mission. It is Chapter 1, verse 1 of the association's Book of Genesis.
Page 4 of the NCAA Manual reads, "... The admission, academic standing and academic progress of student-athletes shall be consistent with the policies and standards adopted by the institution for the student body in general."
To many, it's time to prove that decades-old proclamation still means something.
CBSSports.com spoke to several college administrative sources who did not want to speak on the record because of the sensitivity of the subject. On various levels, they all agreed:
The entire NCAA enterprise may be on trial with the North Carolina case.
If the school isn't hammered, then what good is the NCAA Manual? If thousands of athletes being passed through the system isn't a mockery of the mission, then what is?
Penn State was an unmitigated disaster. The Miami investigation was a mismanaged mess. The NCAA is still in court almost five years after USC was decided.
