In February of this year, UNC commissioned former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein to dig into its records for any and all academic irregularities on campus – hoping for a definitive, conclusive report that would answer all the unanswered questions.

Today, after an eight-month investigation, Wainstein and his team will deliver that report – first at a joint meeting of the Board of Governors and the Board of Trustees this morning at 10:30, then publicly at a press conference at 1:00 this afternoon.

Chancellor Carol Folt and UNC system president Tom Ross will be on hand to answer questions at the press conference, which will take place on campus in the Kenan Center. Then at 5:00, Chancellor Folt will meet with students, faculty and staff in room G100 of the Genome Sciences Building for a town-hall meeting to discuss the report and next steps.

WCHL will broadcast the press conference live at 1:00 from the Kenan Center; we’ll be live-tweeting it as well @WCHLChapelboro. You can also follow the press conference online at CarolinaCommitment.unc.edu; Wainstein’s report will be available in full on that website as well as soon as it’s publicly released.
