89. That's a letter from Houston Baker only - he's no longer at Duke.
I agree that his statements were outrageous. So did the provost - that's why the entire exchange is on the Duke website.

I concede that this single Duke faculty member - who had already accepted a position at another institution and left the university a short time after this letter exchange - made unfair allegations.

However, the "group of 88" faculty members that are constantly criticized for their letter did not state any certainty that the lacrosse players were guilty. They asked for examination of the social atmosphere on campus. They are being unfairly portrayed by the right-wing media and others.
