The Daily Tar Heel is reporting that it has learned the names of the nine people “facing disciplinary action” at UNC following Wednesday’s release of Kenneth Wainstein’s report on academic irregularities in the African and Afro-American Studies Department.

Corroborating previous reports, Wainstein’s team found that the irregularities revolved primarily around two individuals who are no longer with the University: former department chair Julius Nyan’goro and (especially) former department administrator Deborah Crowder. But Wainstein also found that there were others at the University – some affiliated with athletics or with the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA) – who knew about (and were complicit in) the irregularities.

Following the release of the report, UNC officials said there were nine individuals who faced disciplinary action, four of whom were facing termination – but neither Chancellor Carol Folt nor UNC system president Tom Ross would divulge their names, citing confidentiality rules.

On Thursday, though, the DTH reported that a source had confirmed the nine names. They are:

  • Jaimie Lee, a counselor in the ASPSA
  • Tim McMillan, a senior lecturer in the department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies
  • Bobbi Owen, former senior associate dean of undergraduate education at the College of Arts and Sciences
  • Jan Boxill, former faculty chair and academic counselor for the UNC women’s basketball team
  • Alphonse Mutima, lecturer in the department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies
  • Corey Holliday, former associate athletic director of football operations under head coach Butch Davis
  • Travis Gore, administrative support associate in the department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies
  • Brent Blanton, former academic counselor for UNC women’s soccer
  • Beth Bridger, former ASPSA associate director

All nine were mentioned by name in Wainstein’s report. The DTH does not name its source.

If the source is correct, these individuals face disciplinary action – which does not necessarily mean that disciplinary action will be taken.
