Default Re: Duke Lacrosse Team Story

If anyone cares to follow that closely (I'm an alum, and I certainly don't) link to the school newspaper, The Chronicle.

With no opinions in either direction, this is going to get interesing for several reasons:

-Issue of sexual assaults in college
-longstanding "Ivory Tower vs. Poverty-stricken town" mentality, plus the fact that the overwhelming number of students aren't even from the state
-Issue of universities dealing with punishment for alleged criminal activities, outside the scope of normal law enforcement.
-Issues of "athletes run amok."

I'm not saying these are one way or another. But it's going to make for a sad show. Also, once many national players (so help me if Al Sharpton shows up) latch on to the issue, truth and justice are out the window.
