Barry Jacobs, a local sports reporter who also serves as an Orange County Commissioner, shared some of his thoughts with WCHL’s Danny Hooley about Wednesday’s news from UNC.

Hear the full interview:


 

Jacobs’ remarks were in in reaction to Wednesday’s news that three employees have left UNC in the wake of the Wainstein investigation into so-called “paper classes” in the former Department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies.

A lecturer from that department, Dr, Tim McMillan, has resigned.

In addition, UNC also disclosed – for the first time – that the University fired former faculty chair and women’s basketball advisor Jan Boxill immediately following the report’s release on October 22.

Former academic counselor Jaimie Lee has also been fired, and six more employees are under review.
