No parents in their right mind, especially if they have any wealth, would send their kid to Duke after this. He or she would just be a target - especially a "he."
Let Durham go on record as the city that couldn't handle having a fine university in its midst. Instead of embracing it, the townspeople (and the president of Duke) shat all over it.
Way to go, Durham.
If I am not mistaken, Penn State is one of the few universities where the students and the town are one.
