Like I said to Baldwin...
"I was a faculty member for fourteen years at another university and I've seen what happens to people who speak out against the prevailing groupthink. I guess this is the point at which you learn whether tenure and academic freedom is actually worth the price you paid for it. I hope they don't punish you too badly."
It has been a bit tense around here for the past day or so. My personal view is that no matter what language I used in the article, I would have drawn criticism. For some, this is only a racial issue. For me its only about doing the right thing. Even if the boys were guilty (which they're not) they deserve better treatment from Duke.
