Kristin Butler, a Duke University student, recently had a guest column published in Duke's student newspaper in which she devastatingly deconstructs the utter hypocrisy of North Carolina Central University. The school recently awarded a college degree to Crystal Mangum, the woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of raping her two years ago.
Butler details how Mangum has never been called to account for her fantasy stories, lies that have ruined lives and cost the judicial system and the falsely accused untold millions in wasted resources and manpower, and that she hasn't faced so much as a ticket for any of it. Ms. Butler further points out that the NCCU's honor code specifically prohibits
"'lewd, indecent or obscene conduct (whether public or private)'; 'violation of the alcohol policy, including binge drinking, use or personal possession of alcoholic beverages by undergraduate students;' and the real doozie, 'knowingly making in public a false [oral or] written or printed statement with the intent to deceive and/or mislead or injure the character or reputation of another.'"
Butler further opines, rightly in my view, that had Mangum been just a regular ol' Duke student accused of even some of these allegations, she would have been bounced out of school in a stone heartbeat. Somehow, though, NCCU has managed to overlook all of Ms. Mangum's transgressions and award her a diploma.
In police psychology.
Ms. Butler will go far in journalism, if she keeps publishing crack, spot-on columns such as this one.
