UNC players, illiterated? - NCAA

BusinessWeek 今天出了專題


http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-02-27/in-fake-classes-scandal-unc-fails-its-athletes-whistle-blower#p1


其實Mary Willingham 並沒有說他們 "illiteracy"
只是說他們的程度相當於小學/國中生 (經過 UNC 內部的心理學PhD的評估)
這個專題中提到說其實討論報告的正確性是個假議題
也是 UNC 校方模糊焦點的說法

重點是:
學校是不是開了假課程
學生運動員分數有沒有造假

為了這件事, UNC 已經有好幾個長官丟官/辭職(包含前任校長)/提前退休/被告了
目前為止火勢都還能控制在 "這個事件是 academic scandal 不是 athletic scandal"
NCAA 接受這個說法
但沒人說得準哪一天 NCAA 會開始認真調查
2005, 2009 的全國冠軍錦旗未來能不能保住仍在未定之天

: UNC 的話, 籃球比較強 (今年好像反過來) 那就貼在這好了
: 這個數據若是真的, 實在有點誇張XD

: UNC debating literacy report
: North Carolina is disputing research by a reading specialist it employs that
: says 10 percent of UNC football or basketball players read and write below a
: third-grade level.
: In a CNN story this week, Mary Willingham said her research of 183 football
: or basketball players at UNC from 2004 to '12 found 60 percent reading at
: fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade
: level. She said she worked with one men's basketball player early in her
: 10-year tenure who couldn't read or write.
: After the report, North Carolina issued a statement saying the university did
: not believe Willingham's statements.
: 文章下面都是 UNC 各路的反駁, 恕刪.
: 雖然說 student athlete 的成績都是做假, 或是槍手搞定的事情是不能說的秘密
: 但學生的 literacy 有差到這種程度???
