Sounds like a whole lotta backpedalin' goin' on. That's OK; they can explain it to the Duke board of trustees when the accused drop multi-million dollar lawsuits in their laps.

I hope that they win and drain the Duke endowment to nothingness. For far too long colleges and universities have allowed faculty free reign in the name of "academic freedom." Academic freedom is all fine and dandy when you live in the bubble of campus. But when the endowment gets hit, it is a real world (where the rest of us live) event. Perhaps Duke will be an example to other Universities and they will start to re-think academic tenure.
