Can someone tell me what AAAS and Romance Studies are? If have no idea on AAAS, but Romance Studies probably include Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights.

After the rape allegations against three young men from the Duke lacrosse team, 88 professors, including 11 from the history department, signed a public statement that they were "listening" regarding the allegations. Their actions led to campus protestors putting up wanted posters of the young innocent men and branding the lacrosse team as rapists.
We all watched in amazement as Attorney General Cooper made a statement a few days ago that is almost unprecedented. He didn't say that there was not enough evidence in the case. He said that the young men were innocent.
A short time ago, I spoke with a specialist from the News and Communications Department at Duke University to see how many of the Group of 88 have issued a public apology. It didn't take her too long to count. Zero. That's right, as of this time, she was unaware that any of them have given a public apology.
Here are people whose feet must be held to the fire. Those most responsible for the wanted posters need to be publicly shamed, fired, and have their butts sued. Caning might be nice.

I doubt whether any of the “professors” would ever even entertain the thought of an apology, private or public. As one liberal pundit/blogger wrote “They must be guilty of something.”.........
Why should they apologize?
In thier minds, they are WHITE, MALE ATHELETES, so if they hadn’t raped anyone YET, they would soon, anyway....
Don’t you just love LibWorld?
Can someone tell me what AAAS and Romance Studies are?
See, my kids majored in things that get you jobs, like biology and economics and business and silly things like that.
I don’t see too many math or engineering professors on that list .....
That’s the beauty of being a liberal. You never have to admit you were wrong, no matter what evidence comes up later. After all, it’s all about your feelings at the time, and feelings are never wrong...
That’s the liberal way. No matter how tightly you’re caught, never EVER admit you were wrong.
Is a lawyer somewhere drowning in drool?
I’ll take a WAG that AAAS is African and African-American Studies.
If you tell me the S stands for Sciences I am going to puke.
Can someone tell me what AAAS and Romance Studies are? If have no idea on AAAS, but Romance Studies probably include Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights.
Romance Studies regard the Romance Languages- Spanish, French, and Italian.
All Arts teachers (touchy-feely subjects).
Not one science professor (deals with objective facts).
What a shocker.
Attention all White Duke students. You Faculty holds you in contempt.
That is, anything that they do. They're hell on wheels when it comes to apologizing on behalf of other people, especially people they don't know, for things that those people haven't done (e.g., slavery).
Romance Studies may help one become a ho.
According to KC Johnson (who puts out the Durham-in-Wonderland blog) one of them, math professor Arlie Petters, has apologized. He did so a few months ago, and his apology is why you might sometimes see the group referred to as the Group of 87.
AAAS is “America is Always Awful, Stupid” and Romance Studies is a sub-category of “Gay, Lesbian, Trans-gendered Minorities’ Literary/Societal Accomplishments from the Great Revolution to the McCarthy Era”.
Being a member of the Hate88 will be a coveted resume item for them.
It is important that a hate group like this be shown the light of day.
Fire them and let them get real jobs flipping burgers or waiting on people. They attacked and harassed innocent students.
Duke is a basketball program where you have a few classrooms surrounding it teaching useless liberal arts classes by hate filled communists.
My thoughts exactly. Very few of the “thinking” fields of study participated in this harassment.
Can someone tell me what AAAS and Romance Studies are?AAAS is AFRICAN & AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM http://www.duke.edu/web/acouncil/minutes/1997-98/3-26-98.htm
11 English
9 AAAS
1 Physics
2 Math
0 Engineers (yea)
0 Chemists
It appears that not many people that deal in facts signed this silly petition.
What Bill Clinton was doing with Monica?
And 'Brokeback Mountain', 'Heather Has Two Mommies' and "Adam and Steve". Don't think for a minute that the liberal scum are leaving out homosexual pervert 'romance'.
These marxists won’t be apologizing. It is marxist philosophy to divide the races and create civil strife.
Was. Was a basketball program. See this past seasons results. :)
Go Terps!!!
Two Math profs and one physics.
overwhelmingly fluffy subjects......
College professors are the stormtroopers of the revolution. They are not likely to apologize for anything.
I see that NONE OF THEM teach anything useful.
Group of 88?
Does this group know that 88 is skinhead talk for Heil Hitler?
Group of 88(Nazis)?
Wanna' see 'public' education get cleaned up quick ?
heh heh heh
AAAS sounds intellectual on the face of it, it stands for "American Association for the Advancement of Sciences". However, underneath that scientific sounding nomenclature they teach basically liberal/socialist studies that deal with 'global environment' issues. You'll find subjects like "biodiversity", "environmental sustainability", and my personal favorite - "environment justice", LOL. In other words they deal in pseudo science and junk science, they're a bunch of socialists who worship Al Gore and preach about 'global warming', and warn their students that man is destroying the earth.
“Note that the vast majority of them are in the “emotion” fields, not the thinking fields.”
And you think this demonstrates you can think? Science deals with facts and the interpretation of facts (that’s what explanatory models are and as we have seen with “Climate Change” they also can be politicized).
History deals with facts and the interpretation of facts. Linguistics, psychology, even English deal both with facts (it is a fact that English grammar has certain objective rules) and the interpretation of facts.
If you had actually thought a bit about the humanities fields and philosophy of science, the quite proper observation (interpretation of) about the fact that 9 of the 88 were in English and the next highest cluster was African American studies would have been:
English is the most highly politicized field these days (which is true at a lot of universities), where gender, queer theory and all sorts of idiotic interpretation of facts takes place. AAAS by definition is a politicized field. At Duke there appears to have been a cluster of politicized fools in the Romance Language department as well as Political science and a few cranks in History etc. What the distribution of signers (a fact) shows (an interpretation)is that some fields within the arts and humanities are more politically correct than others, not that the arts deal with emotions and sciences deal with facts.
Every field of inquiry deals with facts, every field deals with interpretation but in differing degrees and combinations. And some interpretation work is perfectly fine: Victor Davis Hanson does interpretive historical work—his interpretations however are not politically correct. He uses his emotions as well as reason, as everyone does.
So lose the simplistic, grade-school “science = facts and arts = emotions” idea and do some real thinking before shooting off at the mouth.
I thought there was one nutty woman law school professor on it, the one that resigned from some committee for not immediately lynching everybody associated with the LAX team.
Two hundred ninety-five days after issuing their statement, the Group of 88 has re-emerged, in a defiant statement posted yesterday.
Operating under the moniker Concerned (of Being Sued) Duke Faculty, the 88 is now 87. Though losing more than two dozen of its members, Group leaders somehow rounded up an almost equal number of faculty members who hadn’t signed the original ad. That such a cohort would, after the fact, affiliate with a widely discredited and discreditable statement might be the most amazing thing we’ve witnessed from the Duke arts and sciences faculty over the past 10 months.
Correction (factual) to no. 42: 11 out of 88 were in English, 9 of 88 in AAAS.

As noted at post 27, it’s Afro-American studies — has nothing to do with the National organization called the AAAS. You may have some gripe against that group, but it has nothing to do with the professors at Duke!!
"You've just been UMUSed"

Great. Thanks. I’ll work on an email over the weekend.
