72: Duke Power

Academic Coup and the Group of 88 Faculty

Professor Casey Johnson discusses the "Group of 88" Duke faculty members who signed a full-page ad condemning the lacrosse players before any charges were filed. The hosts characterize this as an "inside coup" where professors exploited their own students to advance a campus agenda focused on race, class, and gender. The New York Times is criticized for its relentless, one-sided coverage that set the national media tone.
