Heads have rolled? Well, not many.

UNC Chancellor Little Carol Folt, from Dartmouth don't you know, said heads would roll as a result of the expensive Wainstein report. Well, our friends at WNCN are now reporting on the names of six who were terminated.

The most ironic is Jeanette Boxill, Ph.D. Ms. Boxill was the director of the Parr Center for Ethics. A touch of irony in an otherwise depressing tale. Boxill lost her job with the Parr Center and Little Carol has terminated her from the University. Of course Boxill is appealing. An appeal from the ethically challenged director of the center for ethics.

The rest of the terminees seem to be middle and low level employees, only one one other professor, non-tenure track at that, among the bunch. Timothy J. McMillan, a senior lecturer was let go. He admitted to Wainstein that he should have known what was going on. But, he claims he didn't and he says he did nothing to stop it. Well, thanks Mr. McMillan for your diligence. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

To its credit, UNC-Wilmington, UNC-by-the-sea, let go an academic adviser who was identified in the Wainstein report and disclosed that name promptly in accordance with North Carolina law.
