"I am saying that it is no different at other top tier schools"

The combination of town-gown and radical left faculty makes Duke unique and "dangerous", IMO. If I had to pick an Ivy, I'd pick Princeton; this nonsense would never have happened there ( or at most of the Ivies for that matter)

Oh,and College Board wouldnt print the makeup of the Class of '011 alone; you'd have to read the Duke Alumni mag for that info. Why in the world Duke's makeup has to look like the California State schools, I can't imagine.

Actually, I could not disagree with you more. The Ivys are ripe for this very attitude and behavior IMO. Look at Harvard with Cornell West and the Larry Summers fiasco. Penn had the infamous “Water Buffalo” incident where a student was expelled after telling some black women to “shut up you water buffaloes!”. He was deemed a racist and expelled. Fortunately, he eventually won on appeal but not without much expense and determination. Yale had to give back a $20 million gift b/c they did not institute the Western Civ program the Bass family had intended the gift to support. Dartmouth is in a huge fight with their alumni b/c they were making decisions that were detrimental to the school (in the alumnae’s opinion). Trustees have been replaced on the board, people are threatening bylaw changes- it’s chaos!
I have read about some super lefties at Princeton but I don't recall their names. Brodhead himself came from Yale. IMO, the Ivory Tower nature of the Ivys makes it easy for these situations to occur.
