Yet people send their children to Duke? People fail to withdraw their children from Duke today.

If one never wants their children to be exposed to anything that is not perfect, then they had better keep them locked up.... forever. In life, you take the bad with the good - and there is plenty of good at Duke. As with anything, it's a learning situation. To be honest, I sincerely doubt most of the students are aware of or could care less about this (the non-voter registration incident). They are too busy getting an education. And quite frankly, they are smart enough to know that this is a blip in their history. Somebody doesn't let you register to vote in one place, you go to another. Simple. Any student who wants to vote in Durham will. Someone who is only registering because the booth is at the stadium and it's easy will likely not make it to the polling place anyway. (JMHO) Now, does it seem outrageous that this happened. Yes. But it's not the end of the world. Take a lesson. Move on. My student will come out of Duke earning 6 figures with a 3 billion $/year company. That's why we go to Duke, honestly; not to vote.
