Fire Holden Thorp

Yesterday morning I could not have believe this would ever be possible, but in less than twenty four hours you have proved me wrong.
When the allegations of improper benefits and academic misconduct arose, was I disturbed, saddened, and disgusted? Yes. Was I ashamed to be a Tar Heel? No. Today I am ashamed.
Let me be clear. A man, a chancellor, a university, they are not defined by the adversity they face. They are defined by how they act in the face of that adversity. You have done more harm to our institution today than any amount of impropriety in the football program could ever have.
The day Butch Davis accepted the position of Head Football Coach he became a member of our Tar Heel family for life. Coach David deserved the support you publically pledged him. He was not named a single time in the NCAA allegation, and unless you are not being truthful when you state that you have no further evidence of wrongdoing on Coach Davis part, you have no basis for treating a member of the Tar Heel family this way.
To make matters worse, the timing of this firing almost seems be designed to do the most damage possible to our football program.
Im willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that, in your mind, you think you acted to save the Carolina Way. However, your handling of this situation proves to me that you dont actually even understand what those words mean.
You have demonstrated to me that you are not the man to lead our university forward. I expect you to do the right thing and offer your resignation immediately.
