TO THE EDITOR:
I was told a horror story last semester starring an “audit troll.”
Per the professor, the audit troll entered the classroom and took a seat.
However, he did not remain there. He jumped up. He clamored for space. He sucked out the oxygen and he filled the air with his own voice.
The professor was polite. The professor was tolerant. The professor was willing to give him another chance.
The troll sat. And then stood again another day for all to see and hear.
Fortunately, most auditors are not trolls.
They are decidedly different, however. They are older. They have different life experiences.
As a student at UNC, you may have shared space with an auditor — possibly even with me. To all of you, faculty and students alike, I wish to thank you for allowing alumni to audit.
