Second bad move they made, IMHO.
Her whole existence is about her skin color.
Her bosom heaved.
And he knew her.
It's not about bodice ripper novels.
“The ad did not mention the lacrosse team, but it was viewed by some as a condemnation of the players”
That means the lacrosse players, minus three, can still sue.
I hope someone posts the stats on next spring's admission numbers vs. two years ago.
I can't imagine an alum contributing a cent to a crap hole that employs such brain dead trash, however good the school was when they attended.
The alleged perp was identified by partygoers, arrested, and has been released on $50K(??) bond.
Or is there a more recent rape allegation?
kjo - Is anyone nationally reporting the new Duke rape case? A young black man is accused of raping a white freshman a few days ago.
gridlock - I had not heard a report that the freshman supposedly raped was white. Don’t jump to conclusions.
This is a big problem.
You are right. Apparently Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek confirmed that the victim of the “Other Duke Rape” was white.
Not that it matters to me. A crime is a crime, I say.
Allow me to enlighten you,
She was white.

One of the sources is the Duke University Chronicle.
No one is jumping to conclusions.
Shucks: I was looking forward to being called Professor Bono.
Every time I see the number of professors, 88, brought up, it reminds me of one of the many meanings attributed to the number combination.
Neo-Nazi symbol
Eighty-eight is used as code among white supremacists to identify each other. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler. [1] This has caused controversy in the past, when trendspotters for the Target Corporation noticed the symbol and began its use on hats and T-shirts, unaware of its meaning. “ 14 is used similarly, referring to the so-called “Fourteen Words”, often found in combination with 88 (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88 and White Legion 88.

Ironic isn’t it?
Money in the bank today is worth more than what they might have gotten, if anything, in the future.
Cannot be said often enough, these Illiberal Institutions need to be defunded and massively reformed. Duke = another reason parents should stop putting their life savings into these left-wing, Marxist trash dumps posing as universities!
Right. That's why they chose to hide behind the skirt of Mommy Duke University.
Spineless, scum-sucking, self-righteous, judgmental liberals who don't have the decency to admit they were wrong and apologize to the players, the Duke University students, and the community for adding to the racial unrest.
Of course that's all that matters.
A mere coincidence that the ad "happened" to come out at the time of this rape controversy.
But let's give the "Gang of 88" the benefit of the doubt -- let's say the ad wasn't a condemnation of the threee players as they now say. Why didn't they say so back then?
They certainly heard the student's and the community's reaction to the ad -- why didn't they correct them at the time and say, "No, no, no. That's not what we're saying at all! The boys are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law!"
What is this with a chick dean?
“A crime is a crime, I say.”
You’re jumping to conclusions.
Send them to my school. I’ll teach them Accounting and capitalism.
