DUKE UNIVERSITY
ALUM'S POWERPOINT
ON SEXUAL CONQUESTS
LEAKED ONLINE
A detailed account of a
recent Duke University grad-
uate's sexual encounters with
13 Duke students, intended to
be seen by only a few friends,
has begun spreading across
cyberspace, according to
Jezebelcom, a feminist biog.
Jezebebcom reported that
author Karen Owens used a
collection of PowerPoint slides
- titled 'An education beyond
the classroom: excelling in the
realm of horizontal academ-
its" - to share her comedic
"wisdom" with a few friends.
Reportedly, one of the
three recipients that Owens
sent the slideshow to for-
warded it via e-mail, and
since then the slides were
received by multiple listservs
before making their way into
the blogosphere. Since the
website's report of the inci-
dent on Sept. 30, Jessica Coen,
editor-in-chief of Jezebelcom,
said that two publishing com-
panies have indicated interest
in representing Owens for a
book deal.
DEAN AT ST. JOHN'S
UNIVERSITY FORCES
STUDENTS TO SERVE
A former dean at St. John's
University has been charged
with forcing students to act
as personal servants, accord-
ing to a Sept. 30 article in The
New York Times.
Cecilia Chang, dean of
the tnstitute of Asian Stud-
its, was charged with forced
labor and bribery for making
students cook and clean in
order to maintain their schol-
arships.
If the students did not
perform Chang's tasks, they
were told they would lose
their scholarships, the article
reported.
According to the article,
Chang is also accused of steal-
ing roughly $1 million from
the university, which she
used to buy lingerie and pay
for casino trips.
