SilentSham.com is a one-stop repository for news stories, court documents, unanswered questions, and other issues related to #SilentSham: the pair of secret settlements entered into by the UNC system's Board of Governors with the NC Division Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), giving the SCV the Confederate statue known as "Silent Sam" as well as $2,574,999.00 USD in public education money.
"Silent Sham" was coined by Twitter user @wqsaves (source) as the name for this corrupt bargain and related efforts to cover it up.
There has been a bit of fuss about the whole thing, compiled below and in the other sections of this website.
