"Rom Coles" (at 1hr41) is one of the infamous "Duke 88".

They signed an advert endorsing the actions of a lynch mob on campus. The mob harassed men who were victims of false rape allegations and called for sexual violence against them.

Coles' wife also signed the advert and maliciously awarded an F grade to one of the victims of the false allegations when he had in fact passed. Coles and his wife left Duke after the student successfully sued but neither have apologised for their actions.
