The Post-Dispatch has obtained a message posted on Facebook by a woman who identifies herself as a former tutor for the athletics department and said she self-reported her participation in “academic dishonesty.”
The woman’s name matches that of an employee in the university's online database listed as a tutor for Intercollegiate Athletics. She did not respond to multiple interview requests.
On Facebook, she posted: “I have knowingly participated in academic dishonesty in my position as a tutor at the University of Missouri-Columbia Intercollegiate Athletic department, which is not limited to assistance with assignments. I had taken and assisted with entrance assessment, completed entire courses, and I been present (sic) to provide assistance with online assessments. It was encouraged, promoted, and supported by at least two Academic Coordinators for athletes in revenue generating sports, however, the wide spread (sic) desperation to succeed by other student athletes at the bottom of an inverted pyramid of the organization’s construct cross multiple sports. I self-reported on November 2 and naively wanted to close the door on the manner after seeking counsel. I immediately resigned from my position on November 7 prior to meeting with a member for compliance, general counsel, and an individual that reports to the chancellor."
“You are able to see this post because I respect and honor your thoughts of me. I wanted you to hear it from me first. I apologize for disappointing you.
"I just cant carry this burden anymore.”
STLtoday.com will have more on this story as it develops.
