I’m not defending Brodhead or most of his actions, but Duke’s rules do stipulate that any student charged with a felony be suspended.
GOOD POINT!
I think Duke may be in trouble for telling the students initially to not tell their parents, and having a University attorney represent them. They also allowed police into dorms to question students after they had lawyered up. There were also multiple comments made by multiple faculty members which might be considered libelous.
True of any academic institution.
Brodhead and faculty aside, those
kids were sweet meat for a guy
needing a hinge for votes to win
an election. THAT’S what the
investigation will be looking at,
too.
