Duke can thank the great Stanley Fish (former head of their English Dept., and one of the leading lefty/deconstructionists in academe).

If the university had any sort of management, they'd be suing that lunatic prosecutor and the city of Durham into tommorrow-morrow land. in fact if I were the president of Duck university, my first act would be to call the mayor of Durham on the phone and tell him to put a stop to the BS immediately if he wanted the university to remain in Durham. Universities can be moved.

And H. Keith H. Brodie the President who hired him. Brodie was an M.D. whose main goal as president was to make sure the entire agenda of the university was directed to getting the massive hospital construction funded and completed. Why the heck Brodie thought it should be a priority to make the English Department take a big turn to the left has puzzled some of us for years. Did Duke really need to be a world leader in "Queer Theory"? (he asked rhetorically)
