Stung by Scandal, Duke U. Retooled Its Sexual-Assault Policies. Here’s Why It’s Still Falling Short.

Behind the bar at Shooters II Saloon, a poster declares: "Innocent From the Beginning! Innocent Now!! Innocent Forever!!!"  Signed by Duke University’s 2006 men’s lacrosse team, the poster reflects the strong emotions and hints at the deep scars that remain from a scandal that cast a harsh national spotlight on the university more than a decade ago, when several players were falsely accused of rape. Hoping to recast its reputation in the aftermath, Duke’s president at the time, Richard H. Brodhead, said it was "going over all our procedures to see what we can learn from our experience."
