Via an email correspondent (who seemed to be fishing for some reaction) and <a href="http://www.margaretsoltan.com/?p=14299" title="University Diaries » I, uh, think it’s time for Duke to take this page down.">Margaret Soltan at <cite>University Diaries</cite></a> comes word of a <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2009/06/27/duke_university_official_charged_with_offering_boy_for_sex/?s_campaign=8315">rather sordid bit of misbehavior</a> by a presumably-to-be-soon-if-not-already-former faculty member and administrator (probably more the latter than the former) at Duke University: <blockquote> A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering a 5-year-boy for sex. Frank Lombard, the school’s associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI’s Washington field office and the city’s police department. </blockquote> If these allegations are true—and I have no reason to believe they are not—it seems to me that Lombard should at the very least rot in jail for a very, very long time. http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/4264 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=4264
