A source close to the University of North Carolina system indicates that some members of the Board of Governors are working to remove Holden Thorp as chancellor of the Chapel Hill campus. The members intend to make a formal motion at the Board’s next gathering if UNC President Tom Ross fails to dismiss Thorp by the September meeting.
When asked why, the source simply said, “The university is the laughing-stock of the nation and the damage is spreading to the entire system. The only solution is transparency and a leadership change.”
Honest NC will provide further details as they become available.

Andrew, first time I’ve seen your blog. Pretty insightful stuff (some might say “inciteful”). Look forward to reading more over time. Certainly is a tough time for UNC-CH in any case and increasingly for our whole UNC System. Very sad!

Did you know this about Princeton and Davidson? Of course, both campuses were home to the racist Woodrow Wilson. A man who discouraged black people from applying to his school when he was president of Princeton. Did you know when Bill Clinton and the Jewish NCAA president Myles Brand formed the NCAA Knight Commission they did so using the James L Knight family who then owned Knight-Ridder newspapers? The then CEO was Jim Batten, a man with degrees from Davidson and Princeton. Did you know two of those publications, the Charlotte Observer and the Raleigh News & Observer were founded to promote white supremacy? Mostly to support the coup de’tat in Wilmington, NC where white democrats rode horseback into town and massacred the town residents and stole their businesses and kicked them out of power only to see white democrats control NC for the next 100 years? Woodrow Wilson lived in Wilmington in the past.
Did you know during the Duke lacrosse conspiracy two Princeton alums played key roles against the innocent white boys at Duke? Those being 15 year Princeton trustee Hodding Carter III, the former chair of the James L Knight Foundation, current professor in CHeater Hill, as well as William G Bowen, the former Princeton president who co-chaired the committee which trashed the Duke lacrosse players before the evidence was gathered?
Did you know UNC CHeater Hill was founded by Princeton alum William Richardson Davie, a former NC governor?
Did you know the 30 year UNC system president William C. Friday has an LLD degree from Princeton?
Did you know the reason the USDOJ did not come down to investigate the Duke lacrosse conspiracy was because George W Bush was childhood friends with Duke president Brodhead, as both attended Philips Academy together as youths?
So why did Bush family friend Roger Ailes hire Fox News personality Tony Snow and then promote him to Bush press secretary? Could it be because they were making a statement about his background as a Davidson alum while his father was the former principle at Princeton High School in Cinncinnatti, Ohio?
Why is UNC Cheater Hill using former NC governor Jim Martin as the lead investigator into their troubles? Maybe because he taught at Davidson and holds a PhD from Princeton?
If you know what I know then you know in all likelihood the NCAA Knight Commission was begun with racists intentions and the reason Jim Martin is being used to do a weak investigation into UNC’s scandal is because there are a whole lot of people with a whole lot to hide after they all lost their integrity since the founding of the NCAA Knight Commission.
Did you know these characters attempted to get rid of college football after the very first college football game was played between Princeton and Rutgers? Well, why do you suppose George W Bush asked Donald Rumsfeld back for a second term to lead us to a second war while he was the former quarterback on the football team at Princeton? You mean to tell me Princeton alum Tom Keane replaced Henry Kissinger as 9/11 Commission chairman, probably because he is a Princeton alum? Then when chief of staff Andy Card told Bush our country might not respond positively to a new war, then Bush replaced him with Princeton alum Josh Bolten, a Jew who won’t say a word.
Did you know the two people who helped UNC’s John Edwards stay out of prison were Princeton alums, that being Rachel “Bunny” Mellon and her lawyer/financial advisor Alex Forger? Did Edwards stalk the old lady and asked her for $50 million of her own money just because of her Princeton details while his daughter Cate went to Princeton in undergrad?
So why did NCAA Knight Commission member and current University of Georgia chancellor Michael Adams have me arrested and call me a stalker over my former East Carolina dean of students? Karen Boyd herself is a UNC CHeat insider and was a PhD student at UGa. Was it because of my membership in the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, whose leadership school is named after Woodrow Wilson?
While waiting on our felony trial, they get her hired at Carnegie-Mellon as the dean of students before the press had told us about John Edwards getting all of this money from Rachel Mellon. Did you know the then president of the entire UGa system was a man named Erroll Davis who graduated from and was a former chair of trustees at Carnegie-Mellon University?
They attempted the Duke lacrosse conspiracy a second time, didn’t they? They didn’t learn the first time because the press didn’t tell you the truth. Do you know why they totally fabricated a conspiracy and tried to throw three white Duke students in prison for raping a black NC Central girl? It was a diversion after the first black NCBOG chairman Benjamin Ruffin was arrested for inappropriately touching a young girl on an elevator in Hilton Head. Ruffin had degrees from NCCU and UNC CHeat and they spun the story in the exact opposite manner and never came completely clean on the real story.
I have written the trustees at Princeton in the last week. I also wrote the clerk of court at the Atlanta Supreme Court after they ruled in my favor and forced UNC CHeat alum Karen Boyd to pay all court fees. While she was senior associate dean at Georgia Tech, Tech’s police chief Teresa Crocker lied to get a restraining order on me by saying I was driving to Atlanta and looking through Karen Boyd’s house. Teresa Crocker is an NC Central alum and she was chief of police at East Carolina when her, myself and Karen Boyd all three shared the campus at ECU.
Have I got your attention yet?
