Duke has made it clear that it will not interfere with students’ career choices. In an article written in light of recent protests at Tech Connect and the Career Fair, multiple Duke administrators, from Bill Wright-Swadel from the Career Center, to Michael Schoenfeld from Public Affairs and Governmental Relations, to Ravi Bellamkonda from the Pratt School of Engineering, to Mary Pat McMahon from Student Affairs, have all said some variation of the statement that students should have the critical thought and ability to choose their own careers, and Duke wasn't going to interfere with those efforts.








Resolutions for a new year

The Community Editorial Board is made up of 12 undergraduate students from across the University. The Board’s members are independent, and do not speak for The Chronicle’s newsroom staff. They meet once a week to discuss issues and topics at Duke. A member of the Board will write the editorial, which is then edited by other members and the chairs before being reviewed by the opinion editor.
