Dukkke President Brodhead 'Apologizes' to Falsely Accused Lacrosse Players
As you may recall, in spite of significant evidence that the three falsely-charged students at Duke were innocent, Richard Brodhead, the president of Duke during this scandal, went ahead and suspended two of the three students, canceled the team's season, and fired the coach. He repeated the ludicrous false accusations of Mike Nifong and the Dukkke 88 who slandered the innocent men. And now, he says he's sorry:


DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University President Richard Brodhead apologized Saturday for not better supporting the men's lacrosse players falsely accused in last year's highly publicized rape scandal. Brodhead, speaking at the university's law school, said he regretted Duke's "failure to reach out" in a "time of extraordinary peril" after a woman accused three players of raping her at a March 2006 party thrown by the team.
"Given the complexities of this case, getting the communication right would never have been easy," Brodhead said. "But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they were most in need of support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it and I apologize for it."

What Brodhead did was typical of university administrators. They will do anything to pay obeisance to the PC goddess. This apology is too little too late and he deserves to be fired.
