GARRETT WON'T BE PART OF INVESTIGATION.Byline: Gary Washburn Daily News Staff Writer USC An abbreviation for U.S. Code. athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic Mike Garrett Michael Lockett Garrett (born April 12, 1944 in Los Angeles, California) is a former American football player who won the 1965 Heisman Trophy as a tailback for the University of Southern California Trojans. said Friday he has not had contact with the NCAA NCAA abbr. National Collegiate Athletic Association and will not have part in the investigation regarding a class where two athletes claimed they received A's for no work. Garrett said the situation will be handled by the provosts of the university. The course, CTSE-101, (Tutoring Elementary, Secondary and University Students) is a two-unit course filled with dozens of athletes over the past two years. In a published report, two athletes said they received high grades for no work. The professor, Vernon Broussard, said the course is based on group study and not necessarily class attendance, meaning students could get credit for no work. ``This is a two-unit class and we find the professor is doing things in derogatory de·rog·a·to·ry adj. 1. Disparaging; belittling: a derogatory comment. 2. Tending to detract or diminish. ways,'' Garrett said. ``Dealing with that is in the provost's hands.'' Meanwhile, the NCAA has yet to indicate whether it has received word of the USC internal investigation. Recent history has shown that schools receive lighter penalties when they approach the NCAA with a possible violation. ``The institution has the responsibility to report it,'' Chuck Smrt, NCAA director of enforcement said. ``We will not release any word if we will investigate.'' The first move for the provosts is to find whether USC athletes received preferential treatment in the class. The second obstacle could be dealing with NCAA and Pac-10 officials on campus who could possibly be conducting their own investigation. Officials from both parties have yet to arrive on campus but could in the next week. Smrt refused to speculate on a possible penalty for USC's infraction Violation or infringement; breach of a statute, contract, or obligation. The term infraction is frequently used in reference to the violation of a particular statute for which the penalty is minor, such as a parking infraction.

Garrett is among many other athletic officials who will have no involvement in the investigation. ``There's not much else I can say about it,'' Garrett said. ``Let's see Let's See was a Canadian television series broadcast on CBC Television between September 6, 1952 to July 4, 1953. The segment, which had a running time of 15 minutes, was a puppet show with a character named Uncle Chichimus (voice of John Conway), which presented each how things develop.'' |
