They are the racist, pompous, narrow minded people that are teaching students in what used to be considered a top university. A truly scary thought. You couldn't pay me enough money to send my children to Duke. For all the alumnis who so want their school to show integrity, honor and character, until Brodhead and the Duke 88 are ousted, Duke and the role they played in the injustice to these 3 young men is a travesty. Hit them where it hurts to correct things and earn your reputation back. Stop sending donations to the school until they clean up their act. The Duke Board of Trustees has there work cut out for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-64862876284035596252006-09-30T21:50:00.000-04:002006-09-30T21:50:00.000-04:00If you care to investigate most of the Duke 88 lin...If you care to investigate most of the Duke 88 line of studies you will a waste of time,energy, and money spent on academic frauds. <br /><br />Go look for yourself.The biggest scandal at Duke isn't sports, it's what is passing for education in some departments of Trinity College.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-47031259446716480922006-09-30T20:32:00.000-04:002006-09-30T20:32:00.000-04:00Here are two more examples of "teachable moments",...Here are two more examples of "teachable moments", in which the students educate their failed elders:<br /><br /><I>While Brodhead and his administration are focusing on implementing Duke's draconian new student code of conduct, his student body seems determined to rectify the effects of last spring's silence or rush to judgment by the faculty and administration.

In the long term, it will be up to the students--people like Emily Wygod and Christiane Regelbrugge--to revitalize the institution's moral core that their administrators and faculty have sacrificed.</i> <br /><br /><a href="http://durhamwonderland.blogspot.com/2006/08/duke-in-wonderland.html">http://durhamwonderland.blogspot.com/2006/08/duke-in-wonderland.html</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-7438632951304621902006-09-30T19:30:00.000-04:002006-09-30T19:30:00.000-04:00Kudos to Ms. Shack.
