I think One apology a day front page would be good, they boys have suffered for a year. The professors should also be required to apologize to the boys personally one at a time, in front of all of the students gathered in one place and televised on CNN live.

Is there something legally the wrongly accused boys and their parents can do to these 88 Duke Professors for their false accusation???? And how about Jesse Jackson, writing the column I posted earlier??? They were just fueling the flames....

I'm sure we won't too, unless Duke lawyers make them. John in Carolina blog just put up this post:

Duke’s faculty gets an “F”

I often talk with Duke A&S and Trinity faculty. Most of them are quite upset about what’s happened the past year since Chrystal Mangum made her false witness which so many of them embraced.

What upsets most of them, including some senior faculty I’ve spoken with yesterday and today, is not the grossly unjust treatment David Evans, Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and their families have received from Duke, DA Nifong and certain Durham Police officers.

No, it the criticism they’ve received from alums, parents, some pundits, and even, many report, from academics at other colleges and universities. Most faculty believe the criticisms are unfair. In the words of one: “They outrage us even as we try to stay calm.”

Well, in that case I’ve some advice for the faculty: Don’t read today’s Rocky Mountain News editorial by editorial page editor Vincent Carroll. If you do, you’re likely to go from mere outrage to irreversible apoplexy.
