Cinci, I really don't think the effects are that severe. Much of that Research Triangle work began at Bell Labs in the 1990s and was funded by various parties since. If government walks, the Koreans and Chinese can always fill the gap. Much of the funding at UNC in management research is multinational. At the top schools, the game is global.

Thanks, we vacation on the NC shore and cuts at the Triangle have been part of the news the last few years. It's been a real boon to the four schools as well as surrounding area.

It's a stupid question, but it would appear to be one that has to be asked anyway... =/
At least rhetorically.

Kind of like "Should athletic departments be receiving police reports about their star athlete before the prosecutor's office?"

Well,if you want a proactive athletic/police department like Tallahassee's, you've got to get the word to them first so they can solve the problem and keep from cluttering up the courts with stuff that's not their business.

Ex-Tar Heel McAdoo files lawsuit

Former University of North Carolina football player Michael McAdoo has filed a lawsuit against the school, saying it failed to provide him and other athletes a quality education by guiding them toward sham classes.

Online court records say a lawsuit seeking class action status was filed this week in U.S. District Court in Charlotte.

McAdoo's lawsuit says that he was guaranteed a good education while being recruited by football coaches, but was ultimately guided to consider three options, one of which was African-American Studies -- the curriculum that formed the basis for the long-running academic scandal.

McAdoo was ruled permanently ineligible in 2010 for academic violations connected to a tutor providing improper assistance on a research paper for a class in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies department.

Just sayin': If this guy was so dumb that he couldn't pass the "sham classes" without cheating there is no way he was ever going to get a "quality education" at UNC.

NCAA investigating academic fraud at 20 schools, per report

The NCAA is investigating allegations of academic misconduct on the campuses of 20 member schools, the association's head of enforcement told The Chronicle of Higher Education.

While no schools were named in the report, the official did say that 18 cases are in Division I, with one in Division II and one in Division III. The cases are all in different stages, and involve a wide range of allegations of impermissible assistance from professors, academic advisers or third-party representatives from outside the athletic department.

The report goes on to detail the NCAA's increased investment of resources into punishing academic fraud at its member institutions, including the establishment of a academic integrity group within its enforcement department and additional training for the association's investigators.

These cases could involve any number of sports within the Division I structure (Georgia's recent issues in the swimming and diving program, for example, is mentioned in the article), but the ongoing investigation at North Carolina will continue to be the most frequently mentioned case on the national radar.
