You cannot make this stuff up, how sad that they think they have to lower the standards. Is there any one that thinks this is Ok. So a degree from this school if your black is worthless IMO.

Another former professor, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the practice is ongoing.

“Oh yes, definitely,” said the former professor. “Oh yes, it is still going on.”

The two professors wished to remain anonymous due to fears the school would retaliate against them.

“All the faculty, white and black are very fearful to speak,” said one of the professors. “The department is run by fear and through retaliation. If you speak out you will be retaliated against.”
interesting..

Might as well. They want to continue affirmative action across the country, might as well just boost their grades too.

Make what up..accusations? sure you can.

Until this is investigated and a court rules... You can assume anything you wish.

It may not be a constitutional right to assume, but if it were, I defend your right to assume.

Again what does that have to do with the school in question? Were accusations were made of specific athletes?

Right now it is just allegations, let us know if anything comes of this. Though currently the information in the article is weak seeing the school is mostly black to begin with, are they doing this with almost all grades or specific ones?
