88 members of faculty, grad students, etc authored of statement damning the Lacrosse players right after the incident popped up (university has since yanked said statement off their website, even the African American Studies dept. yanked it recently.....but after recent developments, STILL aren't coming off the bs hanging-the-rich-white-kids-statement

http://z10.invisionfree.com/FODU_Open_Board/index.php?showtopic=4&st=0&#entry2429674Take note of the areas of study of these twits..ROMANCE STUDIES? State tax dollars are spent on that? Every one is some variety of liberal arts...not one science type in the crowd, and every one of them probably thinks Tawana Brawley was framed
According to the President of Duke, “the lacrosse episode... put into high relief deep structures of inequality in our society - inequalities of wealth, privilege and opportunity...and the attitudes of superiority these inequalities breed.” The Vice Provost said that “whatever we have been doing to address these problems [race, class, sex and privilege] has been insufficient and needs to be redoubled and tripled.” A law professor who was also the chair of the Academic Council asked: “Have we tolerated behavior that would cause people to believe that they can treat other people without respect?” [4] The Raleigh News and Observer concluded that the situation has exposed serious issues of race, gender and class division.” [5] An article in The New Yorker reported that
“Much of the bitterest vitriol came from members of the Duke faculty
who were willing to assume not only the players’ guilt but the
university’s. At a session of the Academic Council Brodhead, [the
president] was roundly assailed for not taking decisive action against
the team and one professor... urged him to confess publicly that Duke
was a racist and misogynist institution. Houston Baker, an English
professor...asserted in a letter (he subsequently made public)
to...the Provost, that at Duke, white male athletes were “veritably
given license to rape, maraud, deploy hate speech” and excoriated the
university for its complicity in the “sexual assault, verbal racial
violence and drunken white male privilege loosed amongst us.” [6]t
