Many of the articles and posts that I see on this web site reflect a biased view of events in which people pretend that the LAX players are a bunch of innocent choir boys while blaming everyone else under the sun for the mess they got themselves into through their irresponsible behavior. As the father of a Duke student, I am especially offended by the incessant attacks that the LAX team parents and their supporters have directed against President Brodhead and the Duke Administration for not being aggressive in leading the charge on behalf of their sons. Obviously, I am not alone in feeling this way as several other posters have made similar comments. The LAX players put Brodhead in an impossible situation as a result of their decision to hold a party that violated university policy and the laws of North Carolina. The idea that Brodhead owes the players an apology is just laughable and provides one more great example of the kind of twisted reasoning that permeates this web site. Fortunately, it appears that the editors of The Chronicle are smart enough and objective enough to see through this nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-75704143410142998522006-10-28T12:28:00.000-04:002006-10-28T12:28:00.000-04:00Newport,

Ace Burness said, to prevent Duke from sending a "partisan" message. I believe this crisis has exposed much of Duke administration to be not so high caliber as might be reasonably expected, and they've trucked along day to day doing okay (former big crises being putting a gay/lesbian space on campus; the death of the student who literally fell under the bus about a decade ago) but nothing really in the spotlight with such treacherous crosscurrents until they actually had to deal with a real crisis: the insane Nifong savaging our own students. And they folded immediately. Duke Admin across the board have failed miserably and the registration blunder is just one more example of how incompetent they are. Broadhead and Burness most certainly have got to go.
