Duke University is a private university located in Durham, North Carolina and stands as one of the most respected universities in the world. It is currently ranked eighth in the US News and World Report guide to America's best colleges, down from its historical high of third in 1998. Despite its longstanding status as a liberal bastion in a relatively conservative state, Duke counts among its graduates a number of noteworthy conservatives, such as Richard Nixon, Henry Hyde, and Elizabeth Dole.
Recently Duke has been sharply criticized for its prejudicial handling of some false accusations against its lacrosse; see Duke lacrosse case.
