I believe there’s some other civil suits going forward or at least in the works. I would think she might have to testify in some of those.
[edit] I was unaware of this statute. Interesting.
[b]§ 132-1.3. Settlements made by or on behalf of public agencies, public officials, or public employees; public records. [/b] (a) Public records, as defined in G.S. 132-1, shall include all settlement documents in any suit, administrative proceeding or arbitration instituted against any agency of North Carolina government or its subdivisions, as defined in G.S. 132-1, in connection with or arising out of such agency's official actions, duties or responsibilities, except in an action for medical malpractice against a hospital facility. No agency of North Carolina government or its subdivisions, nor any counsel, insurance company or other representative acting on behalf of such agency, shall approve, accept or enter into any settlement of any such suit, arbitration or proceeding if the settlement provides that its terms and conditions shall be confidential, except in an action for medical malpractice against a hospital facility. No settlement document sealed under subsection (b) of this section shall be open for public inspection.(b) No judge, administrative judge or administrative hearing officer of this State, nor any board or commission, nor any arbitrator appointed pursuant to the laws of North Carolina, shall order or permit the sealing of any settlement document in any proceeding described herein except on the basis of a written order concluding that (1) the presumption of openness is overcome by an overriding interest and (2) that such overriding interest cannot be protected by any measure short of sealing the settlement. Such order shall articulate the overriding interest and shall include findings of fact that are sufficiently specific to permit a reviewing court to determine whether the order was proper.
(c) Except for confidential communications as provided in G.S. 132-1.1, the term “settlement documents,” as used herein, shall include all documents which reflect, or which are made or utilized in connection with, the terms and conditions upon which any proceedings described in this section are compromised, settled, terminated or dismissed, including but not limited to correspondence, settlement agreements, consent orders, checks, and bank drafts. (1989, c. 326.)
Per the Daily Tar Heel - Mary Willingham settles lawsuit with UNC, will not return as employee
Details of the settlement will be released after they’re approved by Judge Terrence Boyle.MW's weakness was that she wanted her job back. I imgaine they will be giving it to her. Expect her to re-appear on their active faculty listing soon.
They bought their way out of this one. ESPN and the rest of the collective sports media are trying to strong arm their way out of NCAA sanctions, and the Feds have declined to pursue the pell grant fraud. All that is left is the former athletes’ suit. If that fails, they will skate, and the cheating, lying, drunken architect of this decades long scheme, known as Dean Smith will finally supplant Jesus in his annointed place at the right hand of God.
3 more plaintiffs join the former athletes suit: http://www.wralsportsfan.com/3-former-unc-athletes-join-mcadoo-in-lawsuit-against-school/14469114/
They’ll just buy off the athletes like they bought off Mary. What’s the difference? Have to preserve St. Dean’s “legacy” of honesty. :))

Those bastards would throw Dean under the bus in a heartbeat if it meant their own absolution.

BOOM!
[b]Dark Days in Chapel Hill[/b]If you ran a college and knew there was substantial money to be had from sports but no requirement to educate athletes, you might cut corners—that’s exactly what the University of North Carolina did for nearly two decades.
…
The second report attached no blame to basketball coach Williams, the most marketable figure in Chapel Hill athletics, reporting his insistence that he “constantly preaches that [the] number one responsibility [of] coaches and counselors is to make sure their players get a good education.” The men’s basketball program has seven coaches for a roster that averages 16—the kind of instructor-to-student ratio normally found only in doctoral programs. Yet we’re asked to believe there’s no way the coaches could have noticed that many players never seemed to need to be in class. Mr. Williams should have been fired for presiding over an institutionally corrupt program. Instead he was given a pass.
ROFLCOPTER @ Hole fans who really believe the whole scandal is a fabrication. They are furious about the “lies” in the book. Unreal!

clt says we should send a copy of the book to espn,

clt says the massive academic fraud was not limited to AFAM.
Wow… Dan Kane with another surgical nuclear strike. I have to say though that I am not that bothered by athletes in good standing enrolling in grad school. But the Waddell case is blatant cheating. Also, yet another example of uncomfortable admin staff over there turning whistleblower. UNC must be a miserable place to work.
BTW, here is the full WSJ story if you do not have a subscription… you have to read it. Easterbrook absolutely eviscerates UNC CHeat. There are blistering red welts after this ass spanking:

To quote a UNC-chapel hill fan I know… “This stuff is not a big deal. This happens everywhere. Carolina just got caught. That’s because the NCAA is after them because they have the best athletic program in the history of the world.”

[/quote] The Waddell case was an isolated incident. There is no culture of cheating at Chapel Hill. ;D
The “happens everywhere” excuser should be asked why the Hell he bothers to pay attention to college athletics if he really believes that everyone cheats. Of course, asking a Walmart TarHole to examine his own motives might assume he has an IQ above 75, so…never mind.
If that program doesnt get the death penalty, then the ncaa needs to be hauled in front of congress
I do not understand why Jim Martin has participated in this fraud. He went to Davidson, then Princeton for his PhD, and then taught chemistry at Davidson until he went into politics. I am sure he has many buddies at UNC-CH, but probably just as many at Duke, NCSU, and elsewhere. Is there some special connection that induced him to produce such a sham report? Why would a man in his late 70s risk his credibility and reputation to cover for the Heels? I would love to see the N&O follow up on this.

Some of their fans are also taking the smug attitude of [size=12pt]“Yes, we are guilty, but we will never be punished”[/size].
clt says some of the fans seem to be myopic.
