Back when a black stripper accused white members of the Duke Lacrosse Team of rape (later exonerated), English and African American Studies Professor Karla Holloway spearheaded a group of 88 professors (of around 700 professors) that signed this advertisement: Picture and Text
Having some quotes like:
And this is what I’m thinking right now—Duke isn’t really responding to this. Not really. And this, what has happened, is a disaster. This is a social disaster
and
The students know that the disaster didn’t begin on March 13th and won’t end with what the police say or the court decides. Like all disasters, this one has a history. And what lies beneath what we’re hearing from our students are questions about the future.
March 13, of course being the date the rape was alleged.
Mike Nifong, the prosecutor, resigned and was disbarred for his conduct in this case, and yet the Group of 88 only posted a passive aggressive defense and half-assed apology rejected apologizing for its conduct.
Wikipedia also tells me that:
One signatory, Kim Curtis of the Political Science Department, gave F's to two members of the lacrosse team who were in one of her classes. When one of them, Kyle Dowd, appealed the grade, Duke did not act immediately; they eventually raised his grade to a D. Dowd and his parents lost patience and filed a lawsuit against Curtis and the university. Duke settled quickly, and changed the grade to a "Pass".
As far as I can tell, she kept her job. It seems that the female heavy departments often signed, and most STEM departments did not:
In three departments, more than half of faculty signed the statement.[citation needed] The department with the highest proportion of signatories was African and African-American Studies (AAAS), with 80%. Just over 72% of the Women's Studies faculty signed the statement, Cultural Anthropology 60%, Romance Studies 44.8%, Literature 41.7%, English 32.2%, Art & Art History 30.7%, and History 25%.
