Duke denies wrongdoing in lacrosse lawsuits

Article here. Excerpt:
'Durham, N.C. — Duke University has denied all allegations made in lawsuits by dozens of former lacrosse players impacted by false rape claims.
More than three dozen players who were never indicted in a 2006 investigation accused the university of fraud, negligence, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
...
The university immediately ended the lacrosse team's season and forced the coach to resign, and investigators collected DNA samples from all of the players.
...
Irving Joyner, a law professor at North Carolina Central University and a close observer of the case, said he believes third-party liability is a major part of the defense. Under that theory, Duke maintains that any wrongdoing was caused by Crystal Mangum and Nifong – two people not connected to Duke in any way.'

Duke needs to pay
The school destroyed the coaches career. He had a national title caliber team there and they cancelled the season based upon the lies of the accuser.
The school allowed openly hostile marches suggesting castration of the team members and blamed ALL of the players on the team when some were not even in attendance at the party. The school allowed such demonstrations and allowed the posting of openly hostile bills around campus. This was clearly an extremely hostile environment and the school needs to be held accountable for allowing that atmosphere to exist and to persist.
Duke should never be allowed to live this down.
