what is the duke president going to do about this?
He already stuck it to the team....
"Taken as a group, is there a special history of bad behavior with this team?" Duke President Richard H. Brodhead said Wednesday in announcing the resignation of the coach, the cancellation of the rest of the season and the opening of an internal investigation.
Even before the scandal, the nearly all-white team had come to personify an arrogant elite on this privileged campus, a collection of Gothic-style buildings dominating the landscape of this working-class city almost evenly divided between black and white.
Nearly a third of the team's 47 members have been charged in recent years with offenses such as disorderly conduct and public urination.
• There were 56 lacrosse players involved in 36 separate incidents over the past three academic years, most of them involving alcohol. • While lacrosse players comprise .75 percent of the Duke undergraduate population of 6,244, they were responsible for 33 percent of the open container cases, 25 percent of the disorderly conduct cases and 21 percent of the alcohol-unsafe behavior cases. • In the 2004-05 academic year, the Office of Judicial Affairs handled 97 non-academic misconduct cases, and 11 of them (just over 11 percent) involved lacrosse players. According to the report, sophomores were largely responsible for lacrosse's poor behavior record; and by all measures, the disciplinary record of the team was noticeably worse than any other Duke team. Only two members of the school's soccer team and four baseball players were arrested in the same three-year span. But the nature of the incidents, the report noted, was not significantly different. "Bad alcohol-related behavior seems to be reinforced rather than mitigated by the group," the report stated. "Responsible senior leadership seems to have been too often missing. "The negative aspects of lacrosse cohesion is a serious problem that requires resolution." Athletic director Joe Alleva warned Pressler last year that the players were out of control, that his team was "under the microscope" and that he needed "to get them in line."
