RALEIGH The North Carolina State Bar will file an order to disbar Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong, a commission ruled Saturday.

The decision is the result of a five-day trial .in which the Bar accused Nifong of making extrajudicial pretrial statements and

withholding potentially exculpatory evidence from the defense

in the lacrosse case.

Although Nifong Said he intended to leave his post July 13, Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson ordered that he be stripped of team

Disciplinary Hearing Commission Chair Lane Williamson says he believed Nifong hoped to boost his electoral chances.

“lt is a great day for North Carolina,” attorney Wade Smith said outside the North Carolina Court of Appeals building following Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong’s disbarmentSaturday.

Many agree that it was also a great day for the University, bringing some closure to the lacrosse saga and offering an opportunity

for healing in the aftermath of a prosecutor with an agenda.

“We take no joy in this proceeding,” said David Evans, father of former lacrosse player Dave Evans, Trinity ’O6. “It brings closure to a very sad period in our lives and we’re gratified to the North Carolina criminaljustice system for seeing to it that justice has been done.”

President Richard Brodhead also expressed relief that the crimi-

nal proceedings had concluded and that the University could begin detaching itself from the episode.

“The only thing worse than what we have gone through would be to continue to be entrapped in it,” Brodhead said. He also issued a statement on the decision.

The University announcedMonday that it has reached a setdement with David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Collin Finnerty and ReadeSeligmann, former men’s lacrosse players indicted on rape charges last spring.

“The Board of Trustees and the president have... determined that it is in the best interests of the Duke community to eliminate the possibility of further litigation and move forward,” a statement released by University officials read. “For these reasons, and after considerable deliberation, the trustees have agreed to a setdement with each student.”

The details of the settlement, however, are “a private matter among the students, theirfamilies and Duke,” the statement read.

“We’re pleased that Duke was willing to try to do the right thing and make things right for these youngmen,”Kevin Finnerty, Collin’s father, told The Chronicle Monday. “[They’re] pushing stuffin the right direction for everyone.”

in contempt of court—a charge carrying with it penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment —for lying to the court. There may be civil suits against Nifong, attorney Jim Cooney and other lawyers also called for the United States Department ofjustice to launch an investigation into the case.

Attorneys David Freedmanand Dudley Witt (center and right) could not prevent Mike Nifong's(left) disbarment.

NIFONG from page 1 his duties and placed on paid leave effective Tuesday. Durham County SheriffWorth Hill collected Nifong’s keys and badge from him at his home Tuesday morning.

While testifying in his own defense Friday, Nifong said he would leave his post, but the delayed date drew condemnation from many, including Gov. Mike Easley.

In announcing Saturday’s decision, Disciplinary Hearing Commission Chair Lane Williamson called the case “a fiasco” and said that any sanction short ofdisbarment would have been inappropriate. The panel found that prosecutors had successfully proven 27 of the 32 charges made against Nifong.

Williamson said the case brought into sharp focus the importance of jusdy wielding prosecutorial power.

“Mr. Nifong, it must be said, for whatever reason... lost sight of that [responsibility] and wandered off the path of justice,” he said. “We can draw no other conclusion but that those initial statements that he made were to further his political ambition.”

A last-ditch offer from Nifong to surrender his law license was rebuffed by Williamson, who said the commission was obliged to make a ruling. Nifong did, however, forfeit his right to an appeal.

During an impromptu press conference outside the Court of Appeals building, where the trial was held, attorney Joe Cheshire and other lawyers for the indicted former lacrosse players said the decision is a victory in the fight against prosecutorial misconduct.

Cheshire said Nifong was only one example of an unfortunate trend and added that he hopes the ruling will serve to warn other wayward district attorneys.

“Until a prosecutor who was willing to cheat got disbarred or went to prison, [prosecutorial misconduct] would not end,” he said. “[The decision] was, as the English say, ‘spot-on’ and probably hard for him to hear.

It’s a shame he didn’t listen to people who were trying to tell him that months ago.”

The attorneys added that the case only resolved favorably because of fortuitous circumstances, and that with minor changes in the course of events, David Evans, Trinity ’O6, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann might have each been sentenced to 30 years in jail.

In closing statements Saturday, Nifong’s lawyers did not deny that he had acted improperly, but tried to convince the panel that his missteps were a result of negligence and not of intent to do wrong.

Although the decision was hailed by some as “closure,” it is unlikely that the lacrosse story has ended. Superior Court Judge Osmond Smith could hold Nifong

The defendant on the stand After answering questions from his attorney concerning his handling of the case, Nifong delivered a prepared statement to the court Friday afternoon. In a tearful speech, he apologized to Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann and announced that he would resign from his post regardless of the commission’s ruling.

“It is not fair for the people ofmy community to be represented by someone who is not held in high esteem by either the members of the community or members of the profession,” he said.

Although Nifong acknowledged that he had made mistakes, he said he was “trying to do the right thing.”

The sincerity ofhis sorrowful plea, though, was tarnished later during cross-examination when Nifong said in response to one of Williamson’s questions that he still thought “something happened in that bathroom.”

The cross-examination by the Bar’s lawyers centered on two main issues. Lawyer Doug Brocker focused on Nifong’s repeated claims from May through September that he made available all of the DNA evidence to thelacrosse players’ defense attorneys. Brocker questioned Nifong about why he did not reveal to defense attorneys certain conversations between him and Dr. Brian Meehan, directorof a private lab that performed the tests. In one such conversation, Meehan told Nifong that DNA from unidentified men was found in and on the body of Crystal Mangum, the alleged rape victim.

“I was not aware the information was not in the report,” Nifong said.

He also faced questions from Brocker and Williamson about the many statements he made direcdy after charges were filed.

Cheshire said Nifong’s “tepid apology is far too litde and far too late.” He also emphasized that Nifong’s failure to notice that certain DNA evidence was missing from the report was an example of “unexcusable neglect”

Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper.

He detailed how on April 17,2006, he and his father were sitting in the Durham office ofhis attorney when they found out that one of the two sealed indictments was for him.

“My dad fell to the floor, and I sat on the ground and said, ‘My life is over,’” Seligmann said. “My first thought was how was I going to tell my mom.”

When he found out in December that the rape charges would be dropped but that sexualassaultand kidnapping charges would remain, he said it felt like a “sick joke.”

Joining Seligmann at the trial were Finnerty and both men’s families. Evans arrived late Friday evening.

Brad Bannon delivers humor, passion “Who really cares about Nancy Grace?” attorney Brad Bannon asked judges Thursday as laughter circulated through the courtroom.

Bannon, a member of the lacrosse players’ defense team, took the stand to testify about the harmful effects of Nifong’s pretrial statements to the media.

“At that point in time I don’t think there was anything we could have said to combat those statements made by that man,” he said. “We saw a pattern develop where a narrative was created and... we had to make sure the public knew the truth.”

Bannon focused on his own responsibility in the case—scouring the approximately 1,800-page DNA report the defense team received from Nifong in late October.

Though the evidence came with no cover letter or explanation of the lengthy technical jargon used in the report, but after 60 to 100 hours of work he discovered test results that showed the presence of unidentified male DNA on objects and body samples of Mangum, Bannon said.

He also presented new evidence to the court showing—in a “conservative estimate” —that the accuser’s rape kit items contained DNA from four unidentified males.

During his more than four hours of testimony, Bannon also recounted difficulties he and other defense attorneys encountered in securing discovery evidence and other materials that he said could have proved the men’s innocence earlier. [lt is] not so much how was it exculpatory, it’s how it wasn’t exculpatory,” Bannon said, referring to how the evidence Nifong denied defense attorneys could have changed the course of the case had they had access to all available information as it was discovered. “

when they encounter computer malfunctions.

“He did more than his job and he did it with all this warmth,” Brodhead said.

University employees have also reached out into the Durham community in a variety of ways, he said. He noted projects ranging from helping to improve community health to building a soccer field for Durham students.

Approximately 18,000 Duke employees are Durham residents, Brodhead said, noting that 10 percent of the city’s population works at the University and about 30 percent of the population is supported by the University.

“Durham is not something separate from Duke—Durham is in large part made up ofpeople from Duke,” he said.

After his speech Brodhead entertained questions from staff that were submitted prior to the event and others raised by the audience. The questions ranged from banning smoking on the Duke Medicine premises to the new Employee Tuition Assistance Program.

An audience member also questioned Brodhead regarding the lack of staffrepresentation on the Campus Culture Initiative steering committee.

“It focused truly on the undergraduate culture,” he answered. “We require [students] to reside on campus, the culture is an all-day and all-night experience.... It’s justified to be focused on undergraduates.”

He added that the committee conducted many interviews in February with a variety of Duke staff.

Carolyn Leith, staffassistant of the film/video/digital program, however, said she was not satisfied with this answer.

“He fluffed a little bit by saying it was undergraduate culture,” she said. “The staff interacts a lot with the students and have a different perspective to offer.”

But Leith noted she was nonetheless very impressed with the event and enjoyed Brodhead’s speech.

“It was wonderful—I really enjoyed it,” she said.

“He’s marvelous, I don’t think you can ask for a better

president.”

Jennie Goetz, a human resources representative, said she found the event very pleasant.

“His communicationwas very sincere,” she said.

NOWICKI from page 1 fellow. “It’s all one life, it’s all one world.”

In accepting the new position Nowicki has launched himself to the top of the food chain of undergraduate administrators.

“When it comes to undergraduate education, the buck stops with me,” he said.

Nowicki added, however, that the position is still very loosely defined.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, said Nowicki might be able to look at the undergraduate experience with a unique perspective.

“I oversee justone aspect ofundergraduate life... mostly co-curricular,” he wrote in an email. “He’llbe working with all of us who have undergraduate roles to ensure that we’re all focused on common objectives and optimizing our collaboration on behalf of students.”

Nowicki said the position gives him an opportunity to interact with students on a more personal level.

It was this characteristic of the 18-year tenured professor that attracted University administrators, Brodhead said.

“We wanted someone who has this responsibility but also a deep insight into the whole world of undergraduates,” he said. “[ln the past] there has been no principal spokesperson for the undergraduate community.”

As a result, the new head honcho said he envisions himself taking an active role in the Campus Culture Initiative in the coming year.

Though Brodhead and Provost Peter Lange have led the efforts so far, Nowicki said he intends to work closely with students to affect change on campus and off.

“I’m not uncritical, but I’m a big fan of Duke,” he said. “And its reputation has been unfairly tarnished. [Duke students are] terrific.... I do see it as part of my job to make sure that message gets back out there.”

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

McCallie tries to make her mark on program by

Meredith Shiner THE CHRONICLE

Newly-hired head coach Joanne P. McCallie is looking to put her signature on

Duke Women’s Basketball —580 autographs at a time.

In May, as part of a promotion to boost ticket sales, McCallie agreed to personalize pictures fans who purchased season tickets.

“We typically haven’t had season tickets out there to buy this early, so this is uncharted territory,” Director of Promotions Bart Smith said. “We put together a monthlong campaign to capitalize on the excitement of a new coach.

“It went beyond our expectations and that’s all due to her, her excitement and what she brings to the table.”

McCallie, who is currently coaching the U-21 U.S. national team in Italy, brings more to the Blue Devils thanjust a breadth of experience and success. In her 15 years as a collegiate head coach, she has made 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament and one title game appearance. Yet, McCallie’s real strength is her passion, for the game, for her players, and most notably, for Duke.

When she speaks of the University, it’s as if she’s been here forever—not two months, off-and-on.

“It’s been crazy and challenging and wonderful,” McCallie said about her time at Duke so far. “It’s sort of rare in your time. You have these things that mark your life—the birth ofyour children, for one, or getting married or graduating college. And to be having this opportunity to be Duke... it’s just amazing.”

The former Michigan State coach is

hoping that her enthusiasm will carry over into the community and draw more fans to Cameron. In her time with the Spartans, McCallie increased average home-game attendance from around 800 fans per contest to near 6000 by augmenting local interest in the program through camps and public appearances, she said.

When McCallie returns to Durham after finishing her obligations with USA Basketball, she will sit down with the Department of Promotions to discuss a more detailed communications plan.

“One of the things we’re most excited about with her is that she’s really wide open to do just about anything,” Smith said. “She’s willing to get out there in the community—and developing relationships with people is key to selling tickets.”

It is also vital in connecting with a group of girls she has never coached before.

Despite being confined by a tight schedule in the brief time she was in Durham, McCallie always kept her office door open and scheduled individual meetings with each of her players. Several of the Blue Devils are even working in the women’s basketball office this summer, getting the chance to know the new staff.

“She’s just an incredible person,” junior Abby Waner said. “It’s very apparent that she takes the time to get to know us as people... and in the end, it will help her coach us better.”

Fortunately for the Blue Devils, McCallie seems to be willing to do anything and everything to make her mark on this program.

Even if it means overcoming a handcramp or two along the way.

Head coach Joanne P. McCallie hopes to increase ticket sales at Duke by bolstering community support.

BLUMENHERST from page 9

—

my pathetic excuse for a game falls apart in less time than it takes Blumenherst to compete her methodical swing. Indeed, her swing is slow—so slow that Duke head coach Dan Brooks has to manually record it on the team’s video analyzer, which has a two-second shutter speed that accommodates most other golfers. The backswing is closer to choppy than languid.

It’s a relatively ugly swing for a world-class golfer, which is paradoxical considering the gorgeous trajectory the Pro VI takes after her hands forcefully crash down.

When Blumenherst whacks her irons, a divot of grass blades land 10 feet in front of her and the balata stops as if ordered on the green. It might as well ask if she wants fries and a Coke.

On the greens, she puts her putt within a few inches of. the hole. Every time. She doesn’t so much putt as guide. “Good putt,” I continue to grumble. “Thanks!” she responds cheerfully.

Every time.

How do I match the shots of someone who made Michael Jordan blush on this same course just more than a year ago? By the walk to the third green, Blumenherst seems to have read my mind. “I’m sure you’re pretty nervous,” she says compassionately. “I mean, I would be so scared to play basketball with the basketball team!”

Before I know it, we’re standing on the eighth tee box and the pin rests a tantalizing 156 yards away. She hits first, and her shot lands tight and sticks. The flag is on the left side of the horizontal green, and my attempt rests pin-high, 60 feet to the right. After I make my first good putt of the day, Blumenherst sinks her first birdie.

I tap in for par.

“You’re killing me!” I chide. “I makepar,

JAMES RAZICK/THE

and you have to make birdie?” She laughs. on No. 8, Blumenherst’s teammate Jennifer Pandolfi had topped her par with a birdie on the same hole.

No doubt, the karma of golf is demeaning. But in no other sport can a 25-handicap with a swing tailored for a Louisville Slugger compete on any given hole with a girl whose father, a club pro, put clubs in her hand at age four. It’s the reason this great equalizing sport will always be played, whether on electric carts on the banks of the Pacific Ocean or alongside grazing sheep on the Scottish linksland.

There is one more hole, one last chance

go for the green—hey, it’s for the story but push my hybrid-shot to the rough bordering the short stuff. Blumenherst lays up to the apron of the green and then plops her third to within three feet. I had her after the tee shot, and now I’m standing over a 30-footer for par while she’s eyeing a three-foot birdie try.

I recognize the big left-to-right break and quickly strike the ball, just hoping it stops close enough for an easy bogey. It rolls and rolls for what seems like ten of Blumenherst’s swings combined. As it gets close, I raise my putter a la 1986 Nicklaus, and bask in the imagined applause of the Augusta gallery when my Pinnacle hits the cup and rattles home. Leaning over to retrieve the ball, I do my best to psych out my nemesis.

“Pressure’s on you,” I warn her. Blumenherst laughs again. I feel like an idiot, and I know I’m about to feel even worse when she inevitably jars the gimme.

She misses.

Even though my heart jumps a beat as her ball slides past the hole, Blumenherst isn’t concerned. She has bigger things to worry about; that, or she knows that she just filed a l-over 37. We shake hands, exchange final pleasantries, and walk our separate ways—she to the right, on her way to a second national championship; me to the left, on my way to the bar.

We only spent two hours together, but I wouldn’t trade our round for her 3.8 GPA. The nation’s premiere college golfer is just a normal Dukie, except for her ability to shape a shot like silly putty.

As she left, I told her we should play together in the fall, after I had endured a whole summer of missed putts and pulled drives. Just as she had all day, she gave me a conciliatory smile. In my mind, that’s a challenge.

So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

for me to best my opponent, who seems more intent on helping me than going for a course record. Blumenherst pops up her drive so high that my baseball pedigree tempts me to yell “I got it!” Potential friendship be damned: this was my opportunity.

I thought my nerves had disappeared after I took an “X” on two of the first three holes, but I’m as panicky as I was on No. 1.

I manage to corral my worries and crush a drive down the right side of the fairway. I relish my best shot of the day for less than a second before Blumenherst compliments it.

She’s too nice.

that he still believed something did happen in the bathroom of the lacrosse house last March.

We’re glad to see the commission had little trouble seeing through the tears Nifong shed up on the stand.

Lawsuits against Nifong will no doubt continue for some time to come, but it’s nice to see the most public courtroom aspects of this case come to an end once and for all. Closure is precisely what the Duke community needs right now.

And that’s just what the University has sought to bring when it announced Monday that it had reached an out-ofcourt settlement with the three exonerated lacrosse players and their families. The setdement reached, Duke administra-

Even though the University for the most part took the right steps along the way, it was prudent for Duke to avoid ongoing and tedious litigation, and push to put a cap on what has been a long year for the entire community.

Duke’s settlement with the players, however, does raise a few questions. For one, the feet that the University decided not to disclose details of the negotiation is questionable. We don’tknow the details, but hope the settlement was carefully considered, as it likely pulled a large amount of money from Duke’s coffers. In

this instance, though, it honestly may be in the best interestof all parties to spend a few million dollars to tie up a few loose ends and move forward.

In addition, it’s somewhat worrisome that in the interest of pushing everything under the rug once and for all, the setdement will allow administrators to overlook the serious concerns about academic freedom raised during this case and formally acknowledged when Duke setded up with former lacrosse player Kyle Dowd, Trinity ’O6, earlier this summer.

It’s clear that everyone here at Duke wants to move beyond the lacrosse case, but, this board reiterates, the University absolutely cannot lose sight of the many issues raised by the case.

Duke, like most guest Column umversi as a faculty handbook It affirms that “students are fellow members of the University community, deserving of respect and consideration in their dealings with the faculty.”

Too often during the past 15 months, some Duke professors have acted as if the Handbook’s provisions did not apply to them. To take a few egregious examples: In August, history professor Peter Wood told The New Yorker that a lacrosse player had spoken favorably of genocide against Native Americans. Wood’s evidence? An anonymous comment on a student evaluation form, which could have come from any of the 65 people in his class.

In January, English professor Karla Holloway sent a mass e-mail suggesting a heretofore unrevealed witness who would testify that racial slurs were uttered during the lacrosse party, perhaps even by one of the accused players. No such witness emerged.

In April, literature professor Grant Tarred informed an audience at Williams College that unnamed lacrosse players had peijured themselves.

Tarred cited no evidence to substantiate his claim.

It seems unlikely that Wood, Holloway orFaired ever will acknowledge their apparent breaches of the Handbook. Nor, it seems, will those who signed a January statement expressly refusing to apologize for the Group of 88’s ad. The April 2006 document, which relied solely on the version of events presented by Nifong, affirmed that something “happened” to Crystal Mangum and thanked “the protestors making collective noise.”

To paraphrase Goodenow, if the lacrosse case has caused professors at Duke, and other elite institutions,, to show more respect for all their students, that’s a good thing. Some signs do exist of precisely this effect The highest-profile example, of course, came in January, when 17 economics professors issued a public letter expressing regret that, in light of the Group of 88’s actions, “The Duke faculty is now seen as prejudiced against certain ofits own students.” The signatories promised to “welcome all members of the lacrosse team, and

all student athletes, as we do all our students as fellow members of the Duke community, to the classes we teach and the activities we sponsor.”

In one important respect, however, Goodenow’s comments do not apply to the situation at Duke.

Her testimony came in open court, as part of what Disciplinary Hearing Commission Chair Lane Williamson correctly described as an example of due process in action.

No procedure, on the other hand, has ever been established to examine the faculty’s rush to judgment regarding lacrosse-related events. There was a time when President Richard Brodhead showed no reluctance to appoint investigative committees—in April 2006, after he canceled the season and demanded the resignation of former men’s lacrosse head coach Mike Pressler, Brodhead appointed five committees to investigate the lacrosse team and issues surrounding the case.

But the president has shown little, if any, curiosity as to why—in the highest profile case of prosecutorial misconduct in modern American history—so many Duke professors made statements or took actions that attorneys for Duke students considered highly prejudicial to the victims of Nifong’s misconduct.

Moreover, while Brodhead has publicly suggested on at least three occasions that critics of the Group of 88 misinterpreted the ad’s words, the administration’s actions reflect a different recognition. The recently signed settlement between Duke and the three accused players contained a clause shielding all members of the Group from potential lawsuits—an implicit recognition that the Group’s critics might have been right all along.

In his closing remarks at the Nifong hearing, Williamson noted, “Those who made a rush to judgment based upon an unquestioning faith in what a prosecutor had told them were made to look foolish and many still do look foolish.” Academics, of all people, should be able to resist the passions of the mob, avoid a rush to judgment and stand up for due process.

This week’s settlement has minimized the institution’s liability in acknowledging shortcomings in the faculty’s Spring 2006 behavior. The Brodhead administration should take advantage and explore why so many of its faculty members found so appealing the metanarrative misleading offered last spring by Mike Nifong.

Scotty Shaw: a hero so close to home More

Closure

Shaw my role model.

When Scotty puts his mind to something, the sky becomes the limit. The Waco, Texas, resident continues to set lofty goals for himself, and refuses to rest until he accomplishes them As a consequence, he can often be seen passed out asleep in random locations throughout campus.

This past semester, Scotty decided to try his hand at basketball. For lllck alexailder the next several months, he could be found shoot- stay hungry, stay foolish ing hoops at Wilson for hours on end. When the school-wide three-point shootout came around this spring, Scotty came away with an impressive second-place trophy.

Next, Scotty decided to set his sights on bigger and better things. He gave amateur film a shot. Despite all of his other commitments, Scotty found time in the semester to write, produce and publish a motion picture that led one critic to state, “I couldn’t help but cry. I’ve never witnessed something so sad.”

But, of course, in addition to all of this, Scotty puts his academics as the top priority. Throughout his life, Scotty has continued to earn top marks for his scholastic endeavors. For this reason, Scotty has yet to declare a major despite his now junior standing at Duke. When you’re that multitalented, it’s hard to limit yourself to only one field of study.

And so, when most people first hear about Scotty’s numerous achievements, few would imagine how he could possibly incorporate any semblance of a social ,

is in the air for the lacrosse case.

Just

vid Evans, told The Associated Press: “It was a very poignant and sad day....

I think for the Evanses, they’ll now be able to move on.”

Even President Richard Brodhead released a statement affirming that kristin butler it is time for the University to “move forward.” with all deliberate speed So does our “minister of disbarment injustice’s” mark the end of the lacrosse fiasco? Not by a long shot.

There remain untold numbers of fact-finding commissions, sanctions hearings and civil lawsuits to follow, not to mention the book and movie deals that trail such cases.

Lacrosse will continue to make headlines in the months and years to come.

But Nifong’s weeklong disciplinary hearing did represent a day of reckoning for the major figures in the case. The guilty—Nifong and DNA Securities Director Brian Meehan (nicknamed “Mr. Obfuscation” by the disciplinary hearing chair) —were called to account for their misconduct. And innocents like Reade Seligmann, Mary Ellen Finnerty and David C. Evans (father of indicted player David F. Evans) each had an opportunity to describe what Nifong’s “tragic rush to accuse” meant for their families.

It made for powerful, emotional testimony at a trial whose “appropriate conclusion” Kevin Finnerty said ensured that ‘justice has finally been done.” And in a case where some Durham activists had insisted that only a trial could bring resolution, it seemed fitting that it was a proceeding with Mike Nifong (and not the wrongly indicted players) as defendant that closed out this major chapter.

This spirit ofreconciliation carried over into Duke’s announcement that it had reached a financial setdement with the three families. By preempting civil litigation against the University, President Brodhead and the Board of Trustees have spared us all the prospect of a protracted legal battle.

And by embracing faculty members in that setdement, senior administrators have made it possible for our community to “move forward” unimpeded.

The question is now: For all its timeliness, does this setdement sweep important questions under the rug? It would be a real disappointment to see some administrators (Brodhead included) get a free pass in the spirit of “closure,” as there remains much to answer for.

Among other things, mystery still surrounds Brodhead’s decision to appoint Chauhcey Nartey, Trinity ’O7,

life into his schedule. Well, incorporate one he does.

Instead of going out to parties, Scotty saves time by bringing the party to himself. He doesn’t need a dance floor. Scotty can get down just about anywhere there’s an audience. He is currently featured breakdancing on one ofYouTube’s most frequently viewed videos.

Perhaps what is most impressive about Scotty Shaw, however, is that he continues to remain so modest in the midst of so much success. Never will you find him flaunting or resting on his laurels. Instead, Scotty is constandy trying to improve himself, in addition to the world around him.

Time and time again, I find myselffeeling fortunate to have gotten to know such an amazing person. Through simple diffusion, I’m convinced that being around Scotty has made me a smarter, more talented person. It’s a feeling that I wish I could share with the world.

Unfortunately for humanity, not every person will get the chance to meet Scotty Shaw in their lifetime.

Thankfully, however, there are hundreds of Scotty Shaws throughout the world. There are those who inspire us and those who remind us to believe in ourselves. Pay attention to these people. Get to know these people. Imitate these people. Be these people.

In this way, each and every one of us can bring out the little Scotty Shaw within us.

to the Campus Culture Initiative and take him on tour for

the “A Duke Conversation” series. As we now know, Nartey

sent former head lacrosse coach Mike Pressler an e-mail

message asking “What if Janet Lynn were next” during the early days of the scandal, which Pressler (appropriately) interpreted as a threat against his daughter.

Yet when asked about the inexplicable decision to reward Nartey’s behavior with student leadership positions, Brodhead offered no explanation.

Similarly, the same senior administrators who termed Pressler’s “resignation” (the coach was forced to quit) “highly appropriate” last spring now laud Pressler’s “excellent” coaching skills and thank him for doing “a great job building the Duke men’s lacrosse program.” No attempt has been made to reconcile these statements, nor to apologize for the coach’s forced departure.

Consider also that because it is Duke’s normal policy to keep the terms of financial settiements “private,” we cannot know how much it cost the University to protect faculty members and administrators against legal action. We don’t know where that money is coming from or even whether the settlementitself is fair to Duke or its former students.

Moreover, it’s hard to see how this administrative secrecy is compatible with Duke’s mission as an educational community; such policies make it impossible for students, faculty and alumni to comment intelligently on University affairs. If other world-class institutions routinely make this information public without injury (on the same day the Duke settlements were announced The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the University ofWisconsin at Madison paid $135,000 to settle a claim with a former administrator), Duke can surely do the same. Administrators have yet to provide a compelling reason why they choose not to, or how their choices benefit anyone outside of the Allen Building.

Most intriguing ofall are the questions embedded in the similarities between recent University and lacrosse family press releases. In announcing their settlement, the Finnertys, Seligmanns and Evanses noted “we lookforward to working with the University to develop and implement initiatives that will prevent similar injustices and ensure that the lessons of the last year are never forgotten.” Duke responded that, “We resolve to bring the Duke family together again, and to work to protect others from similar injustices in the criminal justice system in the future.”

Will Duke put this commitment to combat “similar injustices” into action and work actively to stop the Durham Police Department’s systematic violation of students’ rights?

Or will it continue to invite more scandals?

I hope for Duke’s sake that the answers to these questions are as timely and well advised as the University’s financial setdements. Otherwise, our day ofreckoning (and eventually it will come) will be no less painful than Mike Nifong’s was.
