Wainstein report might be the conclusion to UNC's academic scandal

By Bradley Saacks | October 23

Julius Nyang'oro was the chairman of the former Department of African and Afro-American Studies at UNC, a department that has been investigated by the University and is now under review by former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein.

Nyang'oro was indicted in December 2013 for obtaining $12,000 worth of property under false pretenses — for accepting the $12,000 as pay for AFAM 280, a class that never met in the summer of 2011.

District Attorney Jim Woodall dropped the charges against Nyang'oro in July 2014 because of his cooperation with Wainstein's investigation.
