Similiarities between the Klocek and Duke lacrosse case

Professor Jon Cohen of DePaul has an article in today's American Thinker where he compares the virtual lynching of former DePaul adjunct professor Thomas Klocek with the treatment receieved by the members of the Duke lacrosse team accused in the now-flimsy rape case.

Cohen writes:

If Klocek wins, it suggests a way for the students in the Duke lacrosse case to get a redress of grievance. As the Duke case unravels, it has become increasingly transparent that officials at Duke aided and abetted a massive and totally unjustified campaign of denunciation of the accused players and their teammates. Like the officials at DePaul, the Duke administrators can look forward to a few years of costly and embarrassing litigation. And hopefully in the future, college administrators and others will not be so quick to rush to judgment and damage the lives and reputations of members of its community who have fallen victim to unfair accusations.

Cohen last week took place in a DePaul Conservative Alliance sponsored free speech forum with Klocek and writer writer David Horowitz.
