OK. I may be missing something, but why should the president of a university meet with a student or his family members about whether credits from another university will be accepted at Duke? Aren't there usually academic handbooks that lay out the criteria on the transfer of credits?

Duke was fast to put the players up for sacrafice. But now it looks as the case is a total farce, Duke still won't do anything for the players. What a disgrace. Who would want to send their children to a university that treats its students like this?

"The Finnerties walked out because Brodhead started insulting them."

High-ranking academic dorks routinely insult students and their families all the time.

This is from a third rate democrat party blog whose despicable, evil readership is irate that the blatantly framed Duke lacrosse players are getting even a hint of justice.

Only thing they're guilty of is being white.

If this situation is not resolved to the students' satisfaction, I would recommend taking it up with the school's alumni association. Nothing will do more to light a fire under the @ss of a school president than a fear that wealthy alumni might put away their checkbooks during the school's next annual fund-raising effort.

As someone who has a relative on the Duke team, I can personally attest to the disgraceful and shabby treatment giving to the players by the feckless administratio. "Duke Lax Guts"..says it all..

This is not surprising, colleges have been doing this to parents for years.

Why we put up with this crap is beyond me.

I hope they taped those insults. Bill O'Reilly would have a field day.

Parents get treated like this at the high schools too. Some of these administrators simply do not have good manners and cannot control their tempers. They make life just awful for the decent teachers out there who are doing their best to educate our children.
