The
book Tarnished Heels: How Unethical Actions and Deliberate Deceit at the
University of North Carolina ended “The Carolina Way” will be released in
mid-June of 2014.
Comprised
of over 350 pages of fact-based information and data, the book will chronicle
the past four years of the university’s athletic/academic scandal, while also researching much further into the past for corroborating evidence. It will show how rather than choosing
transparency and ultimate responsibility in regards to the numerous
questionable practices that were exposed, the school instead sought to
obfuscate the media while also attempting to largely dodge accountability. The main motivating factor behind those
dishonorable actions appeared to be a desire to hold on to ill-gotten athletic
accolades (and the prestige and image that came with them), all while
undermining the very charges that an institution of higher-learning should ultimately
stand for: education and morals.
- How far back does the data suggest the scandal reaches?
- How many administrators, faculty members, and coaches (both past and present) have been involved?
- Have there been connections between UNC and the NCAA that might support an unfair degree of leniency?
These
questions and many, many more will be thoroughly examined.
More
information will be released via this blog in the coming weeks as the official
release date nears.
The
book is now available for pre-order online through Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Tarnished-Heels-Unethical-Deliberate-University/dp/193952122X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1396905767&sr=1-1&keywords=rob+j.+anderson
