The Duke case is why we as a nation can lead the world

Many things can come from the results, so far. Other than they are innocent, a big deal, everything else was rotten, to include the 88 faculty vote. I suspect all contributions to Duke will suffer accordingly. After all, Albion college on Ohio just went down business wise, and why not Duke next.

Why did Duke get its reputation for academic excellence, as in send your kid and he or she will have an advantage in life. I still wonder given the liberal lynching that went on over the athletes in question. The obvious answer is that they were the Harvard of the South (reputation wise) , but that has all changed. Not too long ago, Notre Dame was the role model for American education.

Those who seek advantages for their kids might seek other alternatives. The debates of parents include ideas like engineering compared to liberal arts. These days most parents choose liberal arts. They may have done their kids a disservice. They don’t have to live it necessarily, but the discipline will do wonders.
