Duke Lacrosse players sue university
Good, I hope they get the keys to the entire place.
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Duke University will be sued by 38 members of the 2006 men's lacrosse team who claim they suffered emotional distress when school officials failed to support them during a rape investigation, a spokesman for the players said.
The lawsuit, to be filed today in U.S. District Court in North Carolina, also will name Duke President Richard Brodhead, Duke's medical center, and the city of Durham, North Carolina, according to a statement posted on a Web site run by players' spokesman Bob Bork. University officials remained silent during the rape probe, even though they had evidence that the players were innocent, according to the statement.
It is unlikely the people who egged on the abuse and participated in it will ever feel a direct consequence for their actions. It would, however, be sweet justice if they found themselves working for the people whose lives they tried to ruin.
