If only this were true! Sadly, as an otherwise proud Chicago alum, I have to concede that T. Max is a fellow Maroon. He attended Duke for law school.

I would be more troubled by the fact that Duke's "politically correct" culture and rush to judgment forced the school to pay settlements rumored to be north of $100 million.

I saw her on Piers Morgan several weeks ago before his show was taken off of the air. She sounded surprised that the people at Duke would treat her badly. I kind of felt sorry that she was so naive.

Duke is the only Top 15 school in the south. Cross it off at your own peril.

I doubt "porn star" is permissible under Duke's speech code.

Not sure what the politically correct term is?

Apologies (this is the PP) -- based on the context and the press, I wouldn't assume that, had she zero educational bills, she might not have considered this particular hobby.

There are tough-tuition stories, and there are tough-tuition stories.

How could they turn her down for character reasons if she works for a legitimate company, pays taxes on her earnings and reports that she worked there? If it's legal, they can't ding her for it.


Yeah they can. Being a porn star isn't a protected class. Hell, even the banks are discriminating against porn actors by making them close accounts, etc. There's such a shame and stigma in being in that business.
No bigger pimps then banks.

Yeah and some of the biggest criminals run what seem like legitimate businesses. So many people needed to do hard jail time with be fined massive fines for their part in the financial crises. Instead, we bailed them out and they paid themselves million dollar bonuses.
