But would the alumni and other donors withhold funds because 88 faculty members were complicit in lynching innocent young men?
It depends on the character of their donors, and whether or not they have any moral standards whatsoever.
No matter how I felt about my education, or my alma mater, I would never give another penny until the 88 were severely punished.
I don't see that happening.
Duke's reputation, however, may be permanently damaged unless there is a serious effort to rectify the wrongs that have been done.
I don't see that happening either. These are, after all, liberals. They have no ethics on which to base those kinds of decisions.
How can you tell right from wrong when the institutions in which you were educated don't admit that such a concept exists?
A shame....before this happened, I considered Duke a most honorable school...
(thankfully he's already graduated from college) but I would never send my son into that climate, if I were in that position today...
..but then, one has to realize other 'prestigious' schools are just an incident away from being the same.....
