Amid its academic fraud fallout, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill publicly announced Monday that it has paid nearly $7.6 million in fees over the past year to two Am Law 100 firms, a leading midsize firm specializing in collegiate investigations and a public relations agency.

According to UNC, the school has received nearly $2.8 million in legal bills for work handled by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom between February and July of this year, with roughly $1.9 million of that sum itemized for matters “related to the academic irregularities.”
