For months, allegations of rape surrounding the men's lacrosse team splashed across the headlines of the country's most prominent publications, from Newsweek to The New York Times.
But according to research recently acquired by The Chronicle, most alumni and the larger public have since rebounded from the negative impact of the controversy, giving Duke an overwhelmingly positive favorability rating.
Commissioned by the University's office of public affairs, the study was drawn from two sets of data collected in late April and mid-June to analyze the effects of the controversy on public impressions of Duke.

Inside Bay Area - $2.7M bequest takes charity by surprise
Inside Bay Area - $2.7M bequest takes charity by surprise: "$2.7M bequest takes charity by surprise
By Paul T. Rosynsky, STAFF WRITER
OAKLAND — Dr. Melvin Lee Makower first approached the East Bay Community Foundation in the mid-1980s with a $100 donation and a commitment to help the group in its efforts to build communities.
During the years, the Berkeley-based pediatric surgeon continued his relationship with the foundation, frequently meeting with its directors and promising to add the group to his will.
Foundation leaders appreciated Makower's attention and dedication, but they never thought his final act of kindnesswould result in a $2.7 million endowment — the largest unrestricted donation ever handed to one of the East Bay's oldest foundations.
'I had no sense his estate would be as large as it is,' said Michael Howe, East Bay Community Foundation president. 'He was not somebody who was seen as a major philanthropist.'"

By Mark Schwanhausser
Mercury News
Affluent Californians are less generous when making charitable donations than their counterparts in 20 other states, contributing by one measure at less than half the rate as well-off residents in Utah, according to a study released Monday.
But that's not to say Californians are a bunch of tightwads, several experts said, noting a variety of demographic and cultural factors that could make Californians rank lower on the charts.
``We know that when called upon, the giving is generous,'' said Patricia Gardner, executive director of Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits, citing the flood of donations after Hurricane Katrina and the Asia tsunami in 2004."

The launch of the Fortune Forum tonight heralds a new style of fundraising, imported from America, and aimed at a new generation of super-rich donors. Guy Adams reports
Published: 26 September 2006
Bill Clinton has agreed to speak. Michael Douglas will present a 'special award', and Sir Richard Branson and Lakshmi Mittal are bringing along tables of guests. After dinner, Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, will give his first major live performance for more than 28 years.
Tonight, London's A-list will be on a red carpet near Tower Bridge. The likes of the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and the ballerina Darcey Bussell will rub shoulders with the supermodel Lily Cole and the television presenter Trinny Woodall.
Champagne will be guzzled by the bucketload, and six-figure sums bid for 'once-in-a-lifetime' auction lots. On paper, it promises to be the biggest charity bash since, well, since the last one.
The launch of the Fortune Forum may herald something more important, though. Behind the velvet ropes, organisers want Mr Clinton to help transform the face of British philanthropy.
For their £1,000-a-head, 500 guests are buying into a new era of US-style fundraising where, to borrow from tonight's line-up, Deepak Chopra lectures on how 'spirituality can heal the divisions of the world', and Dave Stewart 'sings for spiritual awareness'.
Renu Mehta, the socialite and former fashion designer who organised the bash, said: 'We are hoping to completely change the culture of giving in Britain, by stimulating philanthropic habits you'd normally only expect to see across the Atlantic. There are billions of pounds in untapped charity money wasted in the UK. We need to provide a system that helps people to give, and will get our levels into line with what you'd call the bigger nations. If it works, we will create a new generatio"

If there is one giant upside to the growing rich/poor disparity in the United States, it is this significant development: Philanthropy is vogue again.
OK, maybe it never really went out of style, but for a long time people made charitable contributions simply for the tax deduction. But check out the newsstands now: There’s Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, each donating huge sums to fight AIDS and poverty. (Buffett’s donation to the Gates Foundation was the largest single act of charity in American history.) There’s the local Kauffman Foundation, lauded in The Kansas City Star for its excellent work. And sure enough, there’s philanthropy’s rock star Bill Clinton jetting all over the world raising money and awareness, and gracing the covers of political opposites Fortune and The New Yorker simultaneously."

While nonprofit compensation has grown faster than inflation in recent years, salaries ``are not going up anywhere near what they are in the private sector,'' said Trent Stamp, executive director of Charity Navigator, a Mahwah, New Jersey-based group that evaluates the performance of nonprofit organizations. ``And for the most part when you see a salary, that's it.
