Jan Kemp, UGA whistleblower, dies

The whistleblower who exposed the University of Georgia's preferential grading system for athletes has died. Jan Kemp died Friday of complications from Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Kemp was fired from UGA in 1982, and won a court case after she sued saying she was targeted because she protested UGA's allowing athletes to play sports even after they failed remedial classes. The trial eventually led to sweeping reforms at UGA and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
