SACS Hits UNC With Double Secret Probation

The Southern Association of Colleges and Commission on Colleges(which has the unfortunate acronym of SACSCOC) hit UNC with 12 months probation over multiple violations of SACS standards based on information found in the Wainstein Report released in October.

The group said UNC-CH violated seven principles, including integrity, program content, control of intercollegiate athletics, academic support services, academic freedom, faculty role in governance and Title IV program responsibilities.

SACS defines program content as: degree programs that embody a coherent course of study that is compatible with its stated mission and is based upon fields of study appropriate to higher education.
