JOANNE JACOBS: DUKE BLUE DEVILS CAN’T HAVE SEX:

The Duke Blue Devils had better remain chaste. As national champions, they are unable to have consensual sex with other students under Duke?s new ?sexual misconduct? policy, warns the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). A person seen as ?powerful? ? such as a varsity athlete ? may ?create an unintentional atmosphere of coercion,? the policy states. For the ?powerful,? it?s not just that ?no? means no and silence means no. ?Yes? means no too.

In addition, sex with someone who?s been drinking ? not like that ever happens ? is considered a form of rape because the policy considers any level of intoxication makes a student unable to consent to sex.

Duke just descends deeper into self-parody. Why would anyone send a kid to college there? From the comments here: “Duke is $53,000 per year. That’s a lot of money to pay to be treated like a prole on 1984.”
