Duke Lacrosse Controversy

Allison was one of 88 signatories from Duke faculty [1] in an advertisement that appeared in the Duke student newspaper shortly after the Duke lacrosse case broke, quoting anonymous individuals proclaiming sexism and racism in the community and thanking those who are "turning up the volume."[2] Many critics argue that this group prematurely labeled the players as guilty without any evidence.
