“Not attend Duke. Not send our children to Duke. Hire Duke graduates only with great reluctance. The actions of the faculty have called the value of the credentials offered by Duke University into serious question.”

How about Duke graduates that are FRiends like me, who have double major engineering degrees and are embarrased by the actions of their once-proud university?

There is a great divide at Duke between the Engineering school and Trinity (Arts and Sciences). The engineering school is quite conservative compared to the rest of the school. We often used to mock the PC police at just about every chance we got.

Honestly, if a young job candidate came to me with even an engineering degree from Duke at this time, I would be inclined to pass over his or her resume and look more closely at other candidates. I would assume that the campus environment had colored his or her thinking. Plenty of employers will now see a stigma attached to any Duke credential - especially as long as "the 88" remain unsanctioned.

And no logical reason is ever required to not hire a candidate.

If I indicted you via “guilt by association” then I too would never get hired with my Berkeley degree.

In my own name, I absolve you.
