doctorquant said:UNC's primary accreditation is by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which would be exceedingly unlikely to do anything about such a small issue (relative to the size of the university). Organizations like SACS care way the heck more about process than they do outcomes. In this instance, the processes were obviously lacking, but that is being addressed going forward.Armchair_QB said:Could UNC be in trouble with the DOE or whatever organization handles accreditation for universities in that part of the country? Not saying this isn't an NCAA issue but it sounds like it might be more than that if non-athletes were taking advantage of this too.
On the other hand, though, if they did lose their accreditation, papers could use the headline "SACS to the Face". Which would be awesome.
