John Davis: UNC wrongdoers deserve punishment

Regarding the June 9 editorial “UNC dilemma”: Astonishing, incomprehensible and completely unacceptable that after years of investigations, culminating in an NCAA conclusion of “lack of institutional control,” not a single individual from the UNC faculty or administration has been singled out or punished in any way for dereliction of duty or destruction of the reputation of this once prestigious university.

From top to bottom, it has become clear who was responsible for this travesty, yet they all have been permitted to resign or retire or leave with full benefits and no sanctions of any kind for their misdeeds.

What a horrible heritage for others who have served their school so proudly in the past. And what a horrifying lesson for students who should be learning that actions have consequences and that wrong-doers must be held accountable for their misbehavior.
