At this point I would warn kids off thinking about attending Duke.

Why?

Due to the reaction this fiasco will cause at Duke, something similar is probably less likely to happen at Duke in the future than at just about any other college in the country.

Similarly, it is safer to fly now than it was on 9/10. Not because of government security measures, but because the passengers no longer have the illusion of safety and so will not allow a hijacking to occur.

I don't think anyone is really worried about a repeat of this at Duke. What I'd be worried about is that at least 88 of the 'professors' at that University are screaming moonbat Marxists and outright unapologetic racists as well.

There's no way in Hell I'd send my 18 or 19 year old kid into that environment. Duke University showed its true colors during this sordid affair.

The entire University either through action or inaction demonstrated its outright hostility to the American principle of the presumption of innocence, not to mention the idea of basic human decency.

Nope. Maybe if the Board of Regents, or whoever really runs that asylum, went through it with an extremely new broom starting with Brodhead and the Gang of 88 I might consider it.

Until then, I hope the place goes broke from lack of students and legal defense fees.

I'd love to see what's happened to alumni donations. I'll bet they're down to a trickle.

“Why?”

I don’t know. Maybe:

A. because it is liberal/feminist/communist crap hole full of elitist little shits from the north?

Or perhaps,

B. because it sucks?

A and B?

I agree that the gov't has not done anything to make us safer...it simply too easy to gain access to the tarmac as a member of the cleaning crew, food service, or baggage handlers. However, I disagree with the statement that it's safer to fly now than before 9/11 due to anticipated actions by passengers. There has been very little to suggest that passengers will assume the same actions we saw on United 93. Indeed, surveys suggest that most Americans think they are safer now than before...a stupid conclusion.

You are positing a stabilizing negative feedback mechanism. Positive feedback is also possible e.g., Duke will become a magnet for likeminded mushheads and sink even faster into the abyss.

“Why?”

It’s called consequences. Duke needs to suffer the consequences of their actions.
