UNC History Professor Jay Smith Wishes Plane Crash for Provost


Last month UNC released over 200,000 pages of documents related to investigations into the paper-class controversies. We take a moment to consider an email from Jay Smith included in the collection of documents. On January 29, 2014, Mary Willingham emailed Smith to comment about a trip to California that Provost James Dean was taking. Smith's response: "Let's hope for a plane crash." (Coaching the Mind)
