Brodhead takes office as Duke's 14th president. 2004 The first Baldwin Scholars are selected. The program is created to inspire and support undergraduate women in the classroom and in campus leadership roles. 2005 The Nasher Museum of Art opens. Previously named the Duke Museum of Art, the museum is re-dedicated in a new location after a major donation from the Nasher family. 2005 New buildings open on West Campus. Bostock Library, the Westbrook Building, and Goodson Chapel open, the first additions to the main quad on West Campus since the Allen Building. 2006 Duke Lacrosse Scandal erupts. False accusations of rape are made against three members of the men's lacrosse team. The scandal puts Duke at the center of an intense national debate about race, gender, and legal issues. The charges were dismissed and the students exonerated in 2007. (snip) Sorry, but there was NO national "debate about race, gender, and legal issues". There was only a lynch mob, egged on by agendistas and much of the media. This is as erroneous as saying that the Scottsboro boys trial put Alabama "at the center of an intense national debate about race, gender, and legal issues". As much as the agendistas would like to pretend that there was more involved than a false rape charge, blindly accepted by prejudiced persons, that was, in fact, the sum and end of it all.
