Jonathan Coburn: UNC still hiding info

Judging by its response to Dan Kane’s Dec. 4 news article “Basketball academic liaison has links to AFAM program,” “snarky” needs to be added to “corrupt” and “self-righteous” as appropriate descriptors of UNC’s culture.

With one hand UNC refuses to release information that could confirm or repudiate the piece, and with the other it derides The N&O for not basing the story on the facts it refuses to divulge.

By this standard there could never be any reporting on the UNC scandal, which, of course, is the real motive at work here.

A reasonable person can only conclude that UNC has a lot more to hide than has been revealed to date.
