Hey - Duke had every right to expel those students!

I hear that JC Penney is having a special on jackboots this weekend. You ought to check it out.

I suppose you're not entirely wrong since Duke is a private university, IIRC. That doesn't change the fact that it's a tacky, mean spirited thing to do. Brodhead ought to be ashamed of himself, but the man is so crass that he probably isn't.

The advantage of Duke being a private university is that, should the board decide they don't like the way the situation was handled, they can give Broadhead the boot. The ultimate decision maker is going to be the big money contributors. If they like how it was handled, Broadhead stays. If not, he'll be kissing his presidency goodbye real fast........
