UNC report reveals widespread problems in Afro-Studies department
WRAL ^ | 5/4/2012 | Aaron Schoonmaker

A nine-month internal investigation into the Department of African and Afro-American Studies at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill revealed unauthorized grades, forged signatures and other irregularities according to a 10-page report released Friday.

...

According to the report, which covered courses from the start of the summer session in 2007 to the end of the summer session in 2011, at least 45 courses taught by Nyang’oro were “found to be aberrant” – or atypical. The courses have evidence of work and grades, but no indication that a professor taught or communicated with the students or even reviewed the completed work.

Between 2007 and 2009, grades for 59 students in nine courses were submitted to the registrar with forged signatures of professors who said they never taught the course. During that same span, “several faculty members” stated that there were unauthorized grade changes and they were not aware of who authorized the adjustments.

Long-time African and Afro-American Studies administrator Debbie Crowder retired in the fall of 2009. There were no reports of unauthorized grade changes in the department following the second summer session of 2009.

"Just curious - where do students who graduate from the Department of African and Afro-American Studies find employment??"

They become "community organizers".

Government. That’s arguably the sole intention of such a degree.

I term these “majors”, collectively, as

“Grievance Studies”.

Use the term, watch a liberal turn purple.

Notice one white guy in the top right...

But, is that part of a “pinkface” in the top left with the gray hair?

Or they get employment at a taxpayer supported state university. Could even be in admissions or administration. That's what these bullsh*t black and ethnic studies degrees are good for. Women's studies too. So the taxpayers get ripped off in that example too.

Or could parlay their crap degree into employment at a private university
