I think its also important to point that many Davidson alums attend UNC for graduate school (especially For Law school as I've been told). The relationship/graduate school pipeline we have with them (which many of the pre-professional societies emphasize) is critical to many Davidson grads. So loss of accreditation wouldnt just hurt the kids who go there and people who work there (many of whom did nothing wrong) it would also hurt Davidson students in a sense as well. It would also hurt North Carolina as a whole pretty hard, as its flagship university would no longer be a viable option for residents who NEED to go to an in state option.slowcat95 wrote:As a UNC alum and current employee, I'd call loss of accreditation a worst-case-scenario. It's a very good school that provides a solid education to 99.9% of its students and produces a wealth of new knowledge from its federally (and privately) funded research. A loss of accreditation would have far-reaching consequences for an untold number of people (students, staff, NC citizens, etc), none of whom have had anything to do with athletics.i77cat wrote:The best case has always been that the school would lose accreditation, lose all federal dollars, etc. But that won't happen. They'll escape with some harsh words and a wink. Evil thrives.
Good point, BDL. And to clarify, I'm first and foremost a Davidson alum, but have two graduate degrees from UNC. A loss of accreditation and/or federal funding would eliminate my job (and the jobs of thousands of other NC citizens, and, as BDL points out, hundreds of fellow Wildcats).
I'd give up the athletic dept in a heartbeat. I imagine the large majority of my colleagues here feel the same.

My favorite line in the article is
Anyhow, even I would think that loss of kibali would be extreme. That would be like trying to hit a gnat with a sledge hammer and missing the gnat. It would be an embarrassment to the state of North Carolina as a whole, and we already have the General Assembly for that.
As I so often say, autocorrect can make you say what you didn't Nintendo. But I can't imagine what someone plausibly might have typed that would be converted by autocorrect into "academic fraud." Suddenly lapsing into German with "akademische Freude"? I don't think so.called the use of the term academic fraud in the accreditation report a "typographical error."

I'll stick with loss of accreditation being the best-case scenario. Not for the school, of course. Not for graduates or employees. Just for those who like to see cheaters and liars punished. There won't be major house cleaning. The dirty house worked perfectly. It accomplished the unstated, but central, goals.

Maybe it was dictated using Dragon. When I first got the medical version on my office computer, I started off training my Dragon by dictating the Pledge of Allegiance, and it came out "... with liver indigestion for all." No telling what the Swahili version might do.As I so often say, autocorrect can make you say what you didn't Nintendo.

"We were in the center ring the whole night,'' longtime Davidson coach Bob McKillop said. ''We were not on the ropes. We were not on the mat. We were in the center ring slugging away, and we just ran out of time.''
People may still think that the Republican, Richard Stans, was a Watergate burglar, and wonder why we pledge allegiance to him.
Back when I worked with Webelos on the Citizen badge, they had to recite and explain the Pledge. I was consistently told that "indivisible" means you can't see it.

"They will have to earn their way back," UCLA coach Steve Alford said during a news conference Wednesday.
One wonders how they can do that. I imagine a good practice or two will do it, sadly.
