In the wake of last year's lacrosse team scandal, a committee at Duke University NC proposed 28 ideas to promote social responsibility and mutual respect" in a "culture of excess" at the school.

Duke should renew efforts to recruit female and minority faculty, increase admission standards for athletes, require students to take a diversity class and take away fraternities' prime real estate, according to the committee's non-binding recommendations. The group also suggested that Duke organize alcohol-free social events and decrease student-athletes' travel and practice obligations.
