American Enterprise Institute Resident Scholar Frederick M. Hess doesn’t think much of the Duke professoriate that hung all 46 lacrosse players out to dry last spring:

A year later, Duke lumbers on. Faculty at an elite educational institution eagerly scapegoated three young men in the service of larger agendas. Today, some professors make it clear that athletes are unwelcome in their classrooms, others use a still-hazy “scandal” to promote classroom political agendas, and still others find themselves in court–along with the tattered presumptions of classroom impartiality.

So much for in loco parentis. Would you entrust your kids to these people?

Yet Duke President Richard Brodhead, in an AP interview in which he never indicated any concern for the three players whose lives have been so affected by this hoax, says donations and applications are steady. Well, that’s something.
