Allen Barwick: Nonathletes may have benefited from bogus classes

A line in Dan Kane’s Sept. 20 Carolina’s Blind Side article “As revelations mounted, leaders’ tension grew” caught my attention. It mentioned the concern that Deborah Crowder, of the African studies department, was concerned that nonathletic students from “the frat circuit” might want to enroll in the bogus courses created solely for athletes. One has to wonder whether the magnitude of “graduation easy-outs” was restricted solely to athletic students.
