I'm not an expert on libel or first amendment law either, but based on what I remeber from studying for the bar I'd be very surprised if either statement could support a succesful claim. I doubt it would even survive a motion to dismiss. <br /><br />That doesn't make either statement right. And it doesn't in any way excuse their refusal to apologize for actions that caused a lot of pain for innocent students who were the real victims in this mess.

The same words (plus a few that the Rump omitted, such as white supremacy and capitalism) are used over and over again by UBUNTU, a pot-banging group applauded by the 88, which has duke.edu members and organizers.<br /><br />Posted at UBUNTU blog, June 28:<br /><br /> Who We Are: Purpose & Goals <br /><br />UBUNTU was born in the aftermath of the March 13, 2006 rape of a Durham, NC Black woman by members of the Duke University Lacrosse team. UBUNTU is a Women of Color and Survivor-led coalition of individuals and organizational representatives. We prioritize the voices, analyses, and needs of Women of Color and Survivors of sexual violence in both our internal structure and our external work. We are Women, Men, and people who do not fit into the gender binary. We are non-trans and trans. We are People of Color, Multi-racial, and White. We come from throughout the Triangle area and have roots both within and outside of the United States. We are sex workers, students and community members. We are workers. We are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, and Questioning. We are Queer and Straight. We are young, old, and in-between. We come from a broad range of economic, geographic, spiritual and political experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. <br /><br />Sexual violence occurs in a culture sick with white supremacy and racism; heterosexism and homophobia; patriarchy, sexism, and transphobia; and poverty and capitalism. These systems all interact and overlap to create a culture of violence that must be changed. We must dismantle these systems and work to prevent violence if we hope to end it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-7542627036916189522007-01-17T15:26:00.000-05:002007-01-17T15:26:00.000-05:003:00 is exactly right about rump.
