To the administration, You have worked really hard to protect the innocence and image of Duke and the nationally ranked lacrosse team. What you haven't done, however, is made an effort to protect the many women(specifically the black women) on this campus.
As a black woman on this campus I feel upset that the University is not doing more. I feel betrayed by the students that may or may not have taken part in these crimes.
By not speaking out about the crimes, the lacrosse team is disregarding the matter. And by the same token, with the administration seemingly not taking steps to get answers, they are not sending a positive message to the women on this campus.
Who is being protected here?
