It makes for a good soundbite though.

I disagree. The faculty at Duke did come out squarely against the Lacrosse team and in support of the stripper without the full story. A letter to the newspapers was signed by quite a few faculty members and poisoned the well against the team members so to speak. This was an effort on their part to be perceived as politically correct. The accused members of the team as well as the coach have since sued the University over the actions of the faculty. I believe several of the players have settled out of court with some suits still pending. I live 10 miles from the campus and this case was all over the local news as well as nationally. The similarities are definitely there.
