Marvin Austin's transcript raises questions

Posted Aug 20, 2011
A transcript for former North Carolina football player Marvin Austin shows his academic path got off to an unusual start. In a summer 2007 session just before his first full semester on campus, Austin took a 400 level class in African-American studies and received a B plus. The class was taught by the same professor, Julius Nyang'oro, who did not catch a blatant case of plagiarism by another football player. (Charlotte Observer)
