As the NCAA enters its seventh year investigating the academic fraud case against the University of North Carolina, the role of the student-athlete is constantly debated. Are they employees of the school that should be treated as such, or is there still room for the student aspect of student-athlete?
UH Athletics looks to fit the second definition, totaling an overall 2.88 GPA in the fall, and continuing their recent success with their fourth straight semester greater than 2.85. Additionally, a record-high 96 student-athletes were named to the Dean’s List.
“We are focused on building champions for life,” said Vice President for Athletics Hunter Yurachek.
