President Brodhead’s Review
Just a reminder that you still have a couple of days to send your comments regarding President Brodhead to the committee conducting his performance review for the Board of Trustees. The deadline for submitting comments is October 29.
If you do not have enough time to write a letter, send a postcard or send an e-mail. Make your voice heard.
Tell them that Duke can do a lot better.
In formation on how to participate is here.
Another group has taken the lead in rallying the Duke community to participate in the comment phase for President Brodhead’s review. They are called Friends for a Better Duke or FABDU and they want a Duke to be a fab place once again. You can check out their website here.
Stuart Taylor
Our other friends at Duke Students for an Ethical Duke have are hosting a book signing and lecture by Stuart Taylor, the co-author of Until Proven Innocent at Duke on November 2. The book signing will be at 6:00 and the lecture will follow at 7:00. Details, including directions to the venue, Love Auditorium are here.
Stuart is an excellent speaker and his lecture will be every bit as interesting and informative as KC Johnsons’s a few weeks ago. Incidentally, DSED informs us that Stuart originally signed on to debate any of the book’s critics who wished to come forward. However, there have been no takers so far so he will give a lecture instead.

it is time for Brodhead to go if Duke is to retain any credibility. Burness as an accomplice to the Crime must go as well. There can be no cleansing until they both go. The Gang of 88 should be suspended for 12 months as should any professors who made knowingly totally inappropriate statements either publicly or to his/her classes.
Interesting that those profs who were so quick to find the team members guilty are so reticent to debate the author of UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. I suspect they know they haven't go the stuff to win a debate. They are in hiding. I probably would be as well!
