Duke University agrees to pay $112,500,000 in settlement

[Obliviax]

The lawsuit was first filed in 2015 by whistleblower and former Duke employee Joseph Thomas. The Justice Department took it over afterward. The suit claims the faked research was conducted by former research technician Erin Potts-Kant, who was supervised by pulmonary medicine researcher William Michael Foster. Foster's lab experimented with mice, seeking to determine the effects of inhaling diesel exhaust, among other tests. Several research papers by Foster's team were later retracted.​

Laettner had to know. Burn the place down to the ground.

Not surprising - this cover up was done to protect the basketball program without any compassion for the victims of this research. "They all knew".

Coach K knew. Laettner knew. Dick Groat knew. They all knew.

Shut 'em down. Shut 'em down forever.

Art Heyman knew. So did Bob Verga. And Sonny Jurgensen.

Are we sure Duke didn't agree to PSU footing the bill?

Bonus points for knowing Dick Groat was a Dookie!

It’s a full-time job.

 

[Chris92]

HA - Royboy knew!

If he did, he should have turned them in and collected his $33.75 million.

Steve Vacendak knew.

She works overtime at it.

They shoulda known this was bogus from the get go: mice don’t drive trucks.

The culture of reverence is spreading. Shut everything down. Shut the tournament down.

If you're keeping score, that's 1.3% of their $8.5 billion endowment.

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

Very interesting... My son in law got his PhD in biomedical engineering from Duke back in 2014. Finally I have some high ground on him

What can you say?

It's a total disgrace to the University.

 

[BobPSU92]

This scandal has devalued a duke degree.

CLASS. ACTION. LAWSUIT.
