Under Dr. Littlefield withinn the History Dept at Carolina. Isn't that the same thing the tarholes got nailed for?
Oh boy. We now have our own African American studies program

Roostah, from Scott's article on the front page. "USC's new Faculty Athletic Representative is Dr. Val Littlefield, director of African-American Studies in the History Department". Should have phrased it correctly, but man.
We have had a African American Studies class. What's the problem with that? As long as it is an actual class that students attend and not a "ghost" class the way UNC used it.
What am I missing here?
I would be curious to know how that major ever came to be- did some school come up with that just for AA athletes that were too dumb for a normal degree or something?- I have always thought it was a sketchy degree just to put academically challenged AA's into something they can pass and stay on the team. And if that is true, I wonder how other AA athletes working hard at a legit major feel about others skating by on this major.

Yeah that's what we should, just stop talking about it and it will go away. Good thinking !
Yeah, I can I see it now: Dr. Littlefield is running fraudulent classes while the history dept hands out degrees without student athletes doing the work. Uh huh. Give me a friggin break.
And yes, players majoring in engineering must resent history majors. Guess they'll have to consol themselves by having substantially higher lifetime earnings.

Please, explain to me what needs to go away? Is there any evidence the department is commuting fraud. No.
Let me see if I have this correct. Unc offered fraudulent classes through their African American program, so all African American programs are frauds. Brilliant. Seriously, if this is the type of reasoning skills you acquired in college, you should ask for your money back.

Nothing wrong with the program. Just thought it eerily similar to UNC with the head directly involved with the athletics program. That's all.
The existence of that department is nothing new, and many schools have one. It's the fake classes that make it unique at UNC.
Walk across the stage and graciously accept his/her degree. About the same and an English or History major... try to get into grad school.
