(CHAPEL HILL) -- A UNC System task force is looking into issues involving academic integrity surrounding athletics programs. The panel was put together by UNC System President Tom Ross after incidents of academic misconduct sidelined several UNC football players.

East Carolina University Chancellor Steve Ballard, who is serving as chairman of the task force, said one challenge is determining what constitutes academic fraud.  "Today if you talk to student athletes and if you talk to tutors there's much more confusion.  It's in part because of the internet. It's in part because tutors are charged now with making athletes academically eligible," said Ballard.

The panel is expected to have a draft list of recommendations sometime in May, according to Ballard.
