UNC Chancellor Carol Folt said the university is “pleased to have” the amended Notice of Allegations from the NCAA.

The amended allegations came in to the university on Monday morning and were released to the public later that afternoon.

Folt, speaking at the WCHL Community Forum on Tuesday, said that the university is ready to move forward.

“We feel like we’ve been doing everything that we can to work with the NCAA,” Folt said, “and I think that’s been very important for us.”

Folt added that she was pleased with the steps the university has taken and that the UNC student-athletes set a record-high APR over the past year.

“I try to remember that the students who are here have nothing to do with those allegations, so they need to feel that they’re moving forward and proud of their institution,” Folt said. “And we need to feel very proud of how we’re handling it.”

Folt also credited UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham for his guidance through this process, calling him a “very thoughtful leader” adding she had “a lot of confidence in him.”

The new Notice of Allegations still contains accusations of five Level 1 infractions, the most serious the NCAA can levy. But what has drawn the most attention is the wording of the amended NOA, specifically the lack of a mention of either the men’s basketball or football programs.

The university has 90 days to respond to the amended NOA.
