Year and a Half Later, Duke President Apologizes to Lacrosse Players
First and foremost, I regret our failure to reach out to the lacrosse players and their families in this time of extraordinary peril. Given the complexities of the case, getting this communication right would never have been easy. But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they most needed support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it, and I apologize.
Yeah, both you and D.A. Mike Nifong who tried to leverage the situation into political gain. Just what we need after all the damage has been done. Not like you were at all presumptuous in your actions. Some good the apology does now.
