i seriously wouldnt put much weight in the way delaware reacted to this...universities tend to cower proactively in the face of negative press...part of this has to do with concerns about keeping the alumnii happy and by so doing maintaining a significant funding source.
look at any alumnii magazine, particularly the letters to the editor section, and you'll see quick the political problems they face in this regard.
delaware is a very conservative state, too.
it's kinda frightening, like a twilight zone.
at least it was to me when i would be commuting from civilization (philadelphia) to the wilds of newark.
so the university response is so heavily bounded that you cant take much away from it in terms of an official admission about anything to do with the contents of this ludicrous story. its a reaction to negative press attention of any kind, i would wager.
