A Lesson in Institutional Integrity

Go back to the beginning and compare and contrast the reaction of two institutions to the exploding Duke lacrosse scandal:

Duke University's Richard Brodhead:

“If our students did what is alleged, it is appalling to the worst degree. If they didn’t do it, whatever they did is bad enough.”

Delbarton School's Rev. Luke B. Travers:

“Knowing Reade Seligmann as well as we do here at Delbarton, I believe himinnocent of the charges,” said the Rev. Luke L. Travers...“The hearts and prayers of ourcommunity go out to Reade and his family, the woman who made theaccusations, the players on the Duke lacrosse team and all their families.”

Duke hung their own out to dry and this little school in New Jersey stood by their man. What an embarrassment for Duke to be upstaged and taught a lesson in institutional intregrity by an obscure little prep school in NJ.
