During Steel’s term as chair, the board completed a $300 million financial aid initiative, saw record freshman applications, and completed several buildings on campus including the Nasher Museum of Art. Also during Steel’s term, the Duke campus experienced the false-rape charge known as the 2006 Duke University lacrosse case. Steel was criticized for not supporting the falsely-accused students and insisting that the legal proceedings take their course. When the charges were dismissed and the players were declared innocent, Steel for the first time said the players “deserve our respect for the honorable way they have conducted themselves during this long legal ordeal …. Much as we wish that these three young men…could have been spared the agony of the past year, we believe that it was essential for the university to defer to the criminal justice system.” In a suit by the lacrosse players, Steel is alleged to have helped suppress evidence of innocence to protect Duke’s image, ordering Duke police to falsify their records to make the players appear more guilty, and explaining, “Sometimes individuals have to suffer for the good of the organization”.
