Breaking News: NCAA reopens investigation into academic fraud at North Carolina

[bluedog]

When the NCAA finished its initial investigation into academic impropriety at North Carolina two years ago, it appeared the Tar Heels' nationally renowed basketball program would emerge from the scandal penalty-free.

Perhaps that may have been premature.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- The former North Carolina learning specialist who questioned the literacy level of Tar Heels athletes and said that UNC had committed academic misconduct has filed a civil lawsuit against the school.

Mary Willingham resigned after the spring semester. But according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Wake County, she was demoted and the school retaliated against her after she raised concerns such as low reading levels for athletes and the existence of "paper classes" requiring only one research paper at semester's end -- which she says helped keep athletes eligible.

Willingham is seeking to be reinstated to her job and damages of at least $10,000. The lawsuit also names the University of North Carolina public system that oversees the Chapel Hill school as a defendant.
