So, let me get this straight. A Duke professor, supposedly an educated woman, has quit because Duke officials have allowed the 2 lacrosse players back into school? The school has recognized that the accusations are not true, the players are unfairly having their name run through the mud and seeks to remedy the situation. So that's the general beef this woman has. I guess in her academic career, she never bothered to look up "innocent until proven guilty".
How is she going to get a new job? Is the new employer going to see "She quit because she didn't like the school letting back in two students falsely accused of rape"? If so, that sounds like a nutjob to be and there'd be no way I'd hire her if I was the one making the decisions. It means that she's not reliable as a staff member. Regardless of if you agree with her statements or not, Duke is a business and businesses must be able to count on their employees to continue to function.
From the article: Holloway was one of 88 faculty members at Duke who endorsed an ad last April in the campus newspaper that included anonymous quotes from students discussing racism and sexual assault on Duke's campus. She is worried discussion of race and gender equality will end once the lacrosse case is settled.
So she's worried about race and gender discussions will end? Sorry sweety, that's a piss poor argument. You can always bring up those discussions in the classroom, but since you're no longer employed by Duke University, you don't have a classroom to discuss in.
