Having spent a couple of posts on the infamous Duke lacrosse case back in the early part of the year, I should make a note of the fact that the case against the lacrosse players has pretty much disintegrated. There’s a piece in Inside Higher Ed today giving an overview of the situation, albeit with an annoyingly self-congratulatory tone.
I haven’t been following this closely in the past several months, but since I was fairly quick to post about the allegations, I feel some obligation to make a public acknowledgement that many of the allegations now appear to be badly exaggerated.
