University of Texas President Gregory L. Fenves has ordered an independent review of the university’s academic support system for athletics after several accusations of academic misconduct were made in a recent Chronicle of Higher Education story.
Fenves said the review will be conducted by Gene A. Marsh, a retired UA law professor and former chair of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Division I Committee on Infractions. At Jackson Lewis PC in Birmingham, Marsh focuses on collegiate sports, with an emphasis on NCAA compliance matters relating to college athletics programs, according to the firm’s web site.
