Know how I know to treat the article with suspicion? It contains this:
Six years ago this spring, Duke experienced its own national scandal when three lacrosse players were accused of rape by a stripper hired for a party at the “lacrosse house” — a bungalow since torn down. The charges were deemed to be false, but the episode prompted university leaders to think hard about the relationship between academics and athletics.
“Deemed” to be false. Ah, no. False. “Found” to be false? Ok. “Determined” to be false? Sure. But false. Untrue. Not deemed to be so.
