I'm just thinking now that Duke will comply and not attempt to defend the students on their own grounds.

What parent in his or her right mind would send their child to a school that voluntarily gave up the swiping information to the DA?

How many here would want that DA to know every time your child entered or left the dormitory, everything they ate and everything they bought on campus for the past year?

That is one huge invasion of privacy. Why is Duke not fighting this?

The card swipes may also include information on every visit to the campus infirmary, not to mention purchases made at the campus drug store.

Duke better brace itself for a 50% decline in applications.

Absolutely correct. Unfortunately, among universities, I'll bet Duke would not be alone in that regard.

If they really wanted to come off as the "good guys" they would wrap themselves in the Constitution and refuse to turn over the records, come what may.
