Even if Tami Hansbrough turns out to be a productive employee in her new job at the University of North Carolina, the hire just was not a smart move by the school. It gives off the appearance of insider trading and back-room conniving. That perception may be entirely off-base, but it's just the sort of thing that colleges should avoid. The mother of Tyler Hansbrough, the school's top basketball player, was hired on Dec. 8 as associate director of the UNC dental school. (Raleigh News & Observer)
