I think Judge Beaty said that anything recorded on the Duke cards (ie, purchases made) was done publicly, so there was no loss of privacy. (I still wouldn't want every purchase I made on a credit card made public; and I think to do so would be an invasion of my privacy.) (My own cynical view is that Beaty wants to get Duke off the hook for as much as possible, and in the end will focus the case entirely on a couple of rogue cops, who helped a rogue prosecutor. That's it.) The only penalty for violating FERPA is that the federal government CAN, if it wants, cut off your federal funds. Duke gets hundreds of millions a year (and maybe more) in grants for studies, etc. The feds COULD, if they want, penalize Duke as an example to other universities across the country. (However, my bet is that they don't...) Edited by Quasimodo, Apr 15 2011, 04:48 PM.

thanks, Quasi. Then FERPA is toothless and meaningless. Duke knew that I suppose. |

While the FERPA violation itself is toothless, it is important as part of a pattern of obstruction of justice faced by Duke. Now Duke claims that its administrators and legal affairs did not know that Duke Police turned over the key card information-- this astounding admission strains credulity with all that was happening at the time. |

ARTICLE: Thursday's filings, which covered 732 pages Quasi: Some of the other denials, however, are unbelievable. To say that Levicy did not mischaracterize the findings of the SANE exam contradicts the testimony of Gottlieb, Himan, and Levicy's own admission what she told them FILING: "the Duke University Defendants, Duke University Police Defendants, and Duke SANE Defendants" (1,2 & 3 - denying any knew what the others were doing - that's convenient!) ????????? WHAT'S THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR ????????? The thousands upon thousands of pages of information is an overload! How admission or denial of one thing is tied to one or more other issues adds a maze of further confusion. Thru today, there is little, if anything, about the cases out there that I have not read at least a couple times, including the complaints and defendants responses. It is just too much for one to remember all of and you have to continue refreshing yourself to just remember the more important parts of the mess. (Quasi & Sceptical are among the few here that read and re-read constantly - MY THANKS TO BOTH!) I hope that when the final verdict comes in, there is a little guilt left that any person in the public can understand, not some technical error type reason for any judgment made. It seems like it has grown so large that the message of the TRUTH could very easily get lost in the process. |

Myself:
I'm short on time to read all this, but from what I am reading it is difficult at times to understand if the attorney is representing 1, 2, and/or 3 while discussing what 1, 2, and/or 3 knew of 1, 2, and/or 3 doing. The "DukeCard" denials stick out in my confusion here. |

Why don't they interview KC Johnson? He is what could be called "a close observer of the case". Edited by Quasimodo, Apr 15 2011, 06:46 PM.

http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/9450202/ Duke denies wrongdoing in lacrosse lawsuits Posted: 5:55 p.m. today Updated: 7:02 p.m. today 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. In March 2006, Crystal Mangum claimed three white lacrosse players trapped her inside a bathroom at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., where she was performing as a stripper at a team party, and raped and sexually assaulted her. 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. Mangum's story about the incident was so inconsistent that state officials later declared the players innocent, saying there was no credible evidence against them. Duke had asked that it be dropped as a defendant in the suits, which also name former Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong and police investigators. A federal judge denied the university's request last month. In its answer to the suits, Duke said the university, President Richard Brodhead and other high-ranking staff members did nothing illegal or improper. The players' allegations are based on a number of false premises, the university said. snip..... Added: There's a short video. |

Excerpt from Fact Checker ...732 pages. We told you Duke's tactic is to wiggle, delay, obfuscate and try to wear out the plaintiffs. It is spending H U G E sums of money on these lawsuits. Bottom line: we want Brodhead and former Trustee chair Bob Steel under oath, under subpoena, bringing records, testifying in depositions about their roles.....snipped http://dukefactchecker.blogspot.com/2011/04/brodhead-in-china-peter-provost-zips-up.html |
