Geez... Take a close look at the moronic statements by some of these so-called ‘professors’. Some of them are barely literate! Did they only hire those who have an inablility to use proper grammar?

The group of 88 should be officially reprimanded by the board of trustees, with letters of reprimand in their files.

Liberal academics are all about fighting injustice....as they see it. The lacrosse players...being white men with monied families....don't count. They're guilty of being born, according to the clowns in the 88.

Awesome development. I hope they keep it up. Maybe an appearance on some TV shows will help.

from a Duke Alum...

Isn't there an Alumni association that could get its membership involved by suggesting they withhold future donations to the college unless formal apologies are issued and maybe even ask for some resignations.........?

Unfortunately, they appear to be utterly shameless.

Exactly. Instead of feeling any remorse, the gang of Stalinists will further attack this group (as evil conservative backed). You cannot reason with Stalinists. They must be defeated. The only justice would be for all of them to be fired and their pensions revoked -- an absolute impossibility.

I think they should form a non profit advocacy group to which tax deductible contributions can be made.

What’s the 88’s defense? That their accusations were fake but accurate?

It should be a lot more than 1000. A LOT MORE.

Duke has an honor code. It applies to students and faculty. It all points to the top; el presidente Duke.

Right you are, sand!

No way those intellectual meatheads are going to apologize.

You cannot reason with snobs either.

After all, they must be correct! My word, just look at all those initials behind their names!

BTW, does anyone know what PHD really means?

God bless these students for standing up for their school and against these faculty hangers on.

Here’s hoping nobody told the 1,000 students to hold their collective breath waiting for an apology, because as we all know thats the one thing a Liberal cannot provide.

Excellently written. Someone has done an extremely careful job. Not one word wasted, no exaggerations, and absolutely devastating to the pretentions of these academic charlatans.

“No one is really talking about how to keep this young woman herself central to this conversation, how to keep her humanity before us…”

Imagine the reaction to the following statement:

“No one is really talking about how to keep these young men themselves central to this conversation, how to keep their humanity before us…”

Reciprocity and equality are fundamental. Those are what should be "central to the conversation." Two wrongs don't make a right.

Prejudice and bias are as simple as assuming someone is either innocent or guilty, based solely on race, religion or social status. Placing one such group above another is always wrong, redardless of which groups are elevated or denigrated.

The group of 88 has been proven to be prejudiced and biased against young white men from well-to-do families, and should either apologize, or should be fired. If not, then parents would be foolish to send young white men to Duke University. Parents should make that quite clear to the Duke University administration.

The Group of 88 are Know Nothings... they are beyond reproach.
