DURHAM — Duke University and 38 members of its 2005-06 men’s lacrosse team notified a federal judge on Wednesday that they’d settled the players’ lawsuit out of court.

In three departments, more than half of faculty signed the statement. The department with the highest proportion of signatories was African and African-American Studies (AAAS), with 80%. Just over 72% of the Women's Studies faculty signed the statement, Cultural Anthropology 60%, Romance Studies 44.8%, Literature 41.7%, English 32.2%, Art & Art History 30.7%, and History 25%.
No faculty members from the Pratt School of Engineering or full-time law professors signed the document. Other departments that had no faculty members sign the document include Biological Anthropology and Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Genetics, Germanic Languages/Literature, Psychology and Neuroscience, Religion, and Slavic and Eurasian Studies.
In other words the professors of subjects of which the graduates can actually get a job didn't sign; the professors of future community organizers and unemployed OWS fleabaggers did.
You said it well! Touche.
Very interesting and proof once again that many things are taught in college that are little more than Bull.
Only the ignorant even sign up for crap like that.
African studies. I can place them in any Fire Department or Police Department in the larger cities of this country and they will learn more about African-American studies in 6 months than they would learn in 40 years of college BS courses.
Good to see some retribution for this awful case of Black Ku Klux Klan Racism.....and the White Guilt Liberals who conspired with it.
Even sadder....we have a number of GOP White Guilt Liberals in my area who are aiding the Black Ku Klux Klan in lynching George Zimmerman. My county will someday have to cough up settlement money to the Zimmerman family....after we spend millions trying to lynch them first.
At least I can work to make sure our Dukes and Nifongs .....Gov Rick Scott and AG Dark Meat Bondi....are primaried out next year. Your Seminole County will be working on that
You nailed it. Professors with a little intelligence and knowledge of how the rule of law is intended to work wouldn’t debase themselves by signing.
The leftist, racist liberal arts scum couldn’t sign it fast enough.
The terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed, but I hope it was huge. However, it’s too bad it will cause no real pain for the nasty hearts that perpetrated the hate game.
Thanks AppyPappy.
Did these athletes (former athletes at this point) ever sue the various faculty members for their libels?
