An undergraduate student at Duke University admitted to hanging a noose in a tree and has left campus while disciplinary actions are considered, university officials said Thursday.
School spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said at a news conference that the school would not release the name of the student who admitted to hanging the noose, found early Wednesday in a plaza at the heart of the campus. The person is still enrolled at Duke, but faces student conduct and law enforcement investigations.

T'would appear to be so. And every day with no info released or leaked adds to the suspicion. There are supposed to be a bunch of smart kids at Duke. I suppose it is a pipe dream to hope that one or two might be curious enough to hack into the disciplinary file on this???
Not that am advocating criminal behavior. Just wondering...what if?
Didn’t stop them in the Duke Lacrosse issue
Use the unanswerable, 100 percent secure defense, kid.

“Hanging a noose in a tree is a crime?”
Only if your white>
Clearly not a person of pallor.
He should be lynched for this!
If his name was Duane Jacob Hatfield, his face would already be burned into our media neurons.
Oh, I bet it gets out.....now it may be tough to find media outlets to pick it up, but people know....it’s a very small student body.....it’s gonna leak....
Yes they do, and being as they did not specify, people tend to make up their own minds, don't they?
my minds not made up but it wouldn’t surprise me if the whole thing was staged. The fact that the student has not been identified makes me a little suspicious.........wouldn’t be the 1st time, but we’ll see.
“Hanging a noose in a tree is a crime?”
If it were a crime, the suspect would have been arrested, and we would know the name.
For now, it just looks like he is going to be expelled, and expelling him is the right and responsibility of Duke.
When I was sixteen I had a mini-noose hanging from my rear view mirror in my ‘67 Nova.
I never even thought of it as racist, but more of a wild-west kind of thing.
Guess it must be my white privilege.
I am absolutely positive that had the “perp” been a cis-gendered, white, male we would all know already. It’s Duke ... they don’t need an excuse to throw the white boys under the bus ... it’s a reflex ...
How is this noose not offensive to cowboys in the wild west?
Why does a piece of rope require law enforcement investigations?
Pretty sure it wasn’t Daquantrius Johnson

Tom Dooley got hung. When I first heard the song I found it odd that a man convicted of murder would write a song about it. Tom Dula (theys spell kinda funna in Appalachian speech) proclaimed his innocents before he died.
The “Grand Ole Opry” seems to get a pass on it.
Yup!
Because you live in bizarro world.
