Judging by the faculty web pages, most of these people would behave in exactly the same way. Glass house meet stones...
So you have reverted to this ignorance again:
1. I WENT to the University of Florida, I did not SEND a child to the University of Florida. Perhaps you could go to dictionary.com and look up the different meanings of the words WENT and SEND.
2. I am not so closed minded that I believe that all lefties are as pathetic as the Duke 88. You can smear all lefty college profs with a broad brush as Mike Nifong and the 88 would have you smear the Duke Lacrosse team with a similar broad brush. You are one scarey person if what brings you to this case is the wrong side is winning rather than it is immoral and wrong to paint with such a broad brush. Duke and particularly the 88 threw these kids under the bus. No one has thrown students under the bus like this at the University of Florida that I know of.
3. There is an OPPORTUNITY at Duke. Because of the errors of Duke and the 88, a shot could be sent across the bow of all academic institutions. If you could put down your pom-poms long enough to THINK about this situation, you might realize this. The opportunity at Duke is to show everyone from Harvard to the University of Florida to University of Central Arkansas that being so publically PC at the expense of your students can get you in real trouble. Had the University of Florida faculty behaved in a similar way, I would favor UF paying a price to give them and Harvard, Duke and the Univeristy of Central Arkansas an incentive to reform.
