Duke's Lacrosse Coach Resigns
Mike Pressler resigned today & the school has canceled the remaining games of the season due to the scandal involving allegations that 3 players raped a stripper at an off-campus party. These rape allegations have raised racial tensions, & widened the rift between the elite universities privileged students & the poorer people of Durham. The stripper is black & stated her attackers were white. Investigators & witnesses said the lacrosse players taunted her with racial slurs & insults. Students & townspeople have marched on & off campus, angry over the school's handling of the allegations & the team members' refusal to cooperate with police. Earlier today, authorities unsealed documents stating that hours after the alleged rape, a player apparently sent an e-mail saying he wanted to invite more strippers into his dorm, kill them, & skin them. It wasn't clear if the message was serious or a joke.
