The report, released Thursday, also states staffers in the school's Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes referred players to classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM). In May, the university outlined fraud and poor oversight in 54 AFAM classes between 2007 and 2011, including classes that met irregularly if at all.

 

However, the report doesn't criticize the school's investigation of those irregularities even as it recommended an outside review of "the complicated relationship between athletics and academics" — which the report states has created separation between athletics and the university community.
