Julius Nyang'oro


Julius Nyang'oro is a writer, political scientist and legal scholar. Julius Nyang’Oro was the chairman of the Department of African and Afro-American Studies.
In 2011 during an investigation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill investigators found out that they were classes which instructors didn't teach and also falsified grade changes and faked faculty signatures on grade reports. This immediately led to his resignation as the Chairman of Department of African and Afro-American Studies in 2012.
On July 2, 2014 the charges against Nyang'oro were dismissed due to his cooperation with an investigation at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A grand jury indicted him on a felony charge of obtaining over $15,000 under false pretense.
