- More than 18 years after the Duke lacrosse allegations, Crystal Mangum admits that she made it all up. "I testified falsely against [the lacrosse players] by saying that they raped me when they didn't...I made up a story that wasn't true...I hope that they can forgive me."
00:00 - Remarkable exchange: @RepKiley: If you were talking to a prospective Jewish student's family right now, could you look them in the eye and tell them that their son or daughter would be safe & feel safe & welcome on your campus? Harvard pres. Gay won't give a yes-or-no answer.

- Surely this type of brutality against Palestinian citizens will generate widespread campus protests.
- From Harvard Hillel: Wednesday classes disrupted by students with bullhorns chanting "globalize intifada" and "river to the sea." Statement: "protests of this nature have become increasingly normalized on our campus." Urges univ to enforce--as it hasn't done--its own rules.
- .@neeratanden appears to have deleted her tweets about Susan Collins, whose vote she'll likely need for confirmation. h/t @varadmehta
- Replying to @kcjohnson9At this point, probably the only people who still believed Mangum were Mike Nifong, author Wm, ("something happened") Cohan, and Duke's Group of 88. But still an important final development in the case. Full interview.
- Chilling line from DeVos speech: One university leader asked by OCR official: “Why do you care about the rights of the accused?”
- This comment is from the Harvard Law professor who co-directs the Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security.
- Another example of the odd phenomena of Ivy League protesters who seem to believe they have a right to protest in public, but without anyone seeing who the protesters are.Today, in my capacity as a reporter for @PrincetonTory, I covered a Pro-Palestinian Walkout on Princeton's campus. I stood at a distance, gathering footage and audio of the protestors, but protesters continued to stalk and harass me.
00:00 - He's an associate professor in an Ivy League History Department.Cornell University Professor Russell Rickford speaking about Hamas terrorist attacks. Shameful @Cornell.
00:00 - Striking deposition from @Mizzou TIX official--male student asking female student for a date (which she didn't want) violated TIX policy b/c male student in position of "power and authority" since he was physically larger.
