… she didn’t know exactly what big ol’ scandal they were up to now… But their recent hiring of the University of North Carolina’s finest stonewaller, Leslie Strohm, turns out to have something to do with their attempting to keep the results of an audit of the “KFC YUM!” arena (UD is not making this stuff up) out of the hands of the state attorney general.
He has explained to the university that it’s in violation of open records laws, but the university (which no doubt has excellent reasons to stonewall on this) continues to withhold the document. And who better to help them do this than the pride of Chapel Hill, Stonewall Strohm herself?
A sample of local press coverage.
That’s called earning the “U of Smell” nickname. This hiring stinks.
And so now here, with the University under fire for not turning over documents related to an internal audit of potential misdoing (on a number of issues, including The Yum Center), the school has hired someone who is alleged to be adept at covering up wrongdoing.

Many years ago, I remember some colleagues who insisted that when women entered the ranks of senior university administrators in large numbers, they were by God going to stomp on all these abuses, which were the consequence of the hermetically sealed patriarchate in the executive suites.
I guess they were wrong, huh?
