"The award for worst supporting actor goes to the new president of Duke. He came from Yale, where athletics are not even on the back-burner. Inexperienced in the behavior of athletes, he acted in a cowardly manner by calling for the resignation of the lacrosse coach and suspending the sport before he knew what actually happened. Establishing five “committees” to investigate where Duke went wrong is the refuge of the hapless academic who can’t cope. He should resign for abandoning the players and the University – and for not clinging to the high moral ground of due process. Instead, he leaped to politically correct conclusions under pressure from the chorus of the righteous zealots."
Bernie Reeves in Metro Magazine May 2006
SO RIGHT, SO EARLY.
