I wouldn't blame them for not accepting this "invitation". I wonder if it comes with a paid scholarship and public apology from the president/chancellor? Story here. Excerpt:

'RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Duke University has invited two of the lacrosse players accused of sexual assault to return to school as students in good standing, a defense attorney said Wednesday.

Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann had been barred from attending class during the fall semester while their case made its way through court. The third player charged in the case, Dave Evans, graduated in May, the day before he was charged with raping a stripper at a team party in March.'

This University publicly condemned these boys, allowed their professors to publicly condemn these boys, kicked them out of school for 1 year, terminated the Duke Lacross season (just prior to national title competition) - and now has the audacity to "invite them back"?

Who needs friends when you have Universities willing to condemn students as guilty before any trial is held?

I hope the attorneys for these boys go after the University and the DA for everything they can get!!!
