A committee of Dukies writes a report on THE CASE, and it says the skool where Dickie V is an honorary grad should:

Consider adding required courses that cover issues of race, ethnicity, gender and international study. [DONE! And it's PC at the same time!]

Hire more minority faculty and increase scholarships for top minority students. (The report points out that 41 percent of the members of Duke’s 2010 graduating class are either black, Asian, Hispanic or Native American). [Ditto!]

Promote service learning (Brodhead pointed to the recent DukeEngage program to promote civic engagement). [You mean our frats don't do community service?]

Increase the faculty’s role in athletics oversight (Brodhead said faculty should provide advice to administration and to trustees, who have final oversight of athletics policy). [Sounds like Congressional ethics reform.]

Decrease practice and travel time demands on its athletes and ensure they receive appropriate academic support. [And decrease the Cameron Crazies' time on ESPN.]

Reduce the number of athletes admitted near the low end of Duke’s academic standards. [Now really!]

Applaud yourselves for a job well done! You will anyway.
