Their accreditation board put them on probation, for one thing. That's hugely embarrassing for a school like UNC.

Yes and no. *Losing* accreditation would be hugely problematic for them, but the process to actually lose it is something that a school like UNC would never allow. Auburn was placed on probation with SACS back in 2001 I think... most people probably had little to no clue. My buddy was there working on his degree at the time and I'm pretty confident he was only barely aware.

It's certainly possible that it impacts their OOS applicant pool, but looking at their incoming freshman profile compared over the last several years, I'd say the impact appears to be negligible if any at all: LINK /
