It shouldn’t surprise or sadden me anymore toread about a once-noble university now acting as if the First Amendment was never adopted, but it still does. Remember the Duke lacrosse team outrage? Well, the players and their families are suing all of the responsible parties, including Duke.

I doubt there have been many cases in which a damages suit was more justified than this one. Frankly, there would be such sweet justice if the three young men whose lives were shattered by false rape charges end up owning Duke University, so they can fire school president Richard Brodhead and the faculty members who aided and abetted the students’ defamation.
