Lacrosse Colours

DURHAM, N.C. – On any given day, one might find students from Duke debating social responsibility for the Darfur genocide, hammering nails for Habitat for Humanity, or learning how to conduct ethical business at the Fuqua School. But that image was tattered last month when allegations emerged that members of the school’s elite, and almost entirely white, lacrosse team had been involved in a sexual assault on a black exotic dancer hired to come to a house off campus.
Last I heard, none of the players’ DNA tests matched any DNA removed from the scene, yet their season is still canceled. I guess that’ll give them more time to take responsibility for, you know, Darfur.
