#1 Horse. Barn.

When you deal with the Group of 88 87 like Harvard dealt with Larry Summers, then you can speak with sincerity. Remind the 'Group' that while they have free speech, they are not free from repercussions. If in the 70s, a similar group of 'intellectuals' burnt a cross on a black fraternity's lawn, where would their asses be today? They've [at least one did] had more than enough time to abjectly apologize and honestly reconsider their own mindless bigotry. Time's up. Till then, you're an expensive techvo paper mill with a Potemkin village frontage of an institution of 'higher learning'. There is no intellect.

#2 Donations must have declined precipitously. If Duke is smart, Brodhead is gone soon.

#3 They're facing a lawsuit from some of the unindicted players.

#4 "Failure to reach out" is a peculiar description for a lynch mob. Why not just come out and say hey we tried to screw you. It didn't work. Sorry.

#5 P2K is on the mark. Until the hysterical race-baiters of the Faculty (Group of 88 assholes) suffer consequences, personal and professional, this isn't over. Note that few were from the "hard" sciences, mostly the social studies academia. *spit*

#6 Sue each and every one of the gang of 88. First by the players who were not charged, and then by the ones who were exonerated.

#7 "Reach out" and hang the lawyer and the whores from the same tree. That will probably give pause to a reocurrence.

#8 sadly, some rich Duke graduates will be fooled by this insincere apology

there ought to be a way for donors to the endowment fund to get their money back,

#9 "Duke Kinda Sorta But Not Really Apologizes to Lacrosse Players in a Pathetic Effort to Cover Its Ass"

There - fixed.

Accuracy is important.

#10 Too little too late. The honorable thing to do would be to resign -- that's not gonna happen. The faculty is comfortably ensconced in tenure. I say let the lawsuits begin.

#11 Hey...Where's Jesse Jackson and The Right Reverend Al? I thought those race hustlers lived for this sort of event?

#12 I imagine the number of applicants to the freshman class has gone down precipitously, especially the most competitive academic students who can so easily go to a school whose professors don't assume they're rapacious beasts.

#13 to hell wiht Brodhead - I want to see the 88 FIRED or else sued for libel with malice aforethought.
