A Perceptive Take on the Duke Lacrosse Scandal

Keith Halderman - 11/4/2007

Consider the last paragraph: If there is a redeeming feature of the Duke story, Taylor and Johnson find it in the response of the Duke students. Although some were against the players early on, many reserved judgment, and, as the facts emerged, campaigned for the accused students. Abandoned by adults in the administration and faculty, perhaps the students at Duke (and elsewhere) have learned that it is now up to them to get American society back on track." I wonder how much this case has to do with the student support of Ron Paul. How does his strength on the Duke campus compare to other universities?
