Trevon Duval suspended...

We will take that into consideration .................. nah!

Send their "supporters" packing as well..... i.e those pretending to be UNC fans.

Godevil is the one i banned. If Timo was banned another mod did it.

Cool, thanks Mike.

I think people should be able to argue see sensible opinions that maybe we do not like to see. Nothing wrong with different viewpoints and discussion. There is a clear line between trolling and discussing. This should be banned. However, just because someone thinks another school is better or they will beat us or so on does not mean they should be banned.

I mean, I guess I am being a bit silly as their boards do much the same. Hell, even I am banned on all their boards. I just think little more leeway in allowing outsiders to discuss things is a good thing personally.

We ban too many people imo.

We have rules like every other message board,if they can't abide...Oh well!

Uh... yes?

Any legitimate college has independent study classes, which are nearly always "no-show". That is the point, there is no lecture. And university professors aren't the ones grading papers the majority of the time in all classes. It is typically TA's (grad students) or someone else lower paid they can delegate that work to.

Exactly, when I see responses like the below, I seriously wonder if the poaster ever attended a university. These classes are the rule, not the exception.

Literally every school in the country has no-show classes where the secretary grades the papers by occasionally skimming the content?

Holler at me when Duke admits to academic fraud and is put on probation.

Holla at me when dook consents to an investigation into their student-athletes. Must be nice to be a private school that can write its own rules with no accountability.

Just to clear up this misconception - being a private school does not get Duke out of academic accountability. As I posted in response to Gary's statement earlier, Duke and UNC share the same accreditation agency. Also on that list is, for instance, Vanderbilt. Private and public schools have to be accredited in the same way.

I understand the accreditation process. However, that doesn't address what I was referring to about the differences in "openess" between a public and private school.

Could you explain that a little more fully? Are you referring to things like UNC has to share Coach Williams' salary whereas Duke doesn't have to share Coach K's (since the former is a public employee whereas that latter is not)? Or are you just speaking more generally - like there seems to be more autonomy for private schools whereas public school sort of answer to the public?
I could see either of those arguments. But, as you know, accreditation does not allow Duke to hide behind their "private" designation on academic issues. So I don't understand what you mean by Duke "write's its own rules" with regards to academics.

More generally, like your latter statement. They don't have to be as open as a public school in terms of investigations and whatnot.
