Auburn Suspends Professor Accused of Fixing Athletes' Academic Problems
Auburn University has suspended a sociology professor at the center of a controversy over snap courses and improper grade changes that were allegedly designed to help athletes remain eligible to play and to help athletes and other students graduate at rates far higher than their poor academic records would merit. According to today’s New York Times, which broke the news of the seemingly lax academic standards, the tenured sociology professor, Thomas Petee, has been suspended with pay over the grade-changing allegation.

Of course, Auburn denies it, so it must not be true. The rest of the world is out to get Auburn, because they are so good and truthful, right?
