The main thing to know is we don't plan to make a profit on this. The houses will go for what the market will bear.

It's very disturbing at one level, but at the same time, until police complete their investigation, we really don't know what happened.

It's always been a priority that Duke be engaged with the public schools in an effort to strengthen them. We have a really large number of people who live in Durham; therefore, the quality of education is very important because it affects our employees.

The rumors are just running wild around here ... the latest set of allegations only reinforce the sense of history and anger about the racial issues involved. The president wanted people of this power who could come in and do an investigation and let the chips fall where they may.

Duke University is monitoring the situation and cooperating with officials, as are the students.

At this point it isn't clear that there's any action we can take.

We don't think we have a problem at Duke.

We've just decided that transparency is the way to go. President Brodhead thought it very important to think about people on the outside ... people of absolute integrity and genuine leadership.

We're doing the same things we always do. One of the main things is that Duke has earned its reputation over the years as a world-class institution because of our first-rate academics, as well as medical care and, yes, athletics.

We know there are these questions in the community and on campus about why didn't Duke respond sooner. We thought, why not let someone who is independent come in and take a look?
