The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is trying to convince a top accrediting agency that last year's sports and academics scandal will not happen again. The school made this appeal in a letter to them Monday.

 

Officials from North Carolina's flagship university addressed this as it attempts to dig out from a fake-grade scandal that ran longer and deeper than previously thought. The university told the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges that Chancellor Carol Folt exercises several levels of administrative and financial control over the school's athletics program.

The accrediting organization said an October investigative report disproved earlier university claims that the academic fraud was due to just two people in the school's African studies department. The school said it's addressing that by removing more people.
