Duke’s participation in American Honors and the programs coming from the Obama administration signal that big actors in higher education, those whose opinions often constitute general consensus on the landscape of higher education, have shifted their understanding of community colleges
If you want an easy life, follow this simple rule: don’t talk. If you must talk, only speak when you’re spoken to, and keep it brief.
The administration has been very responsive to threats on campus — that’s part of the problem.
At Duke, each undergraduate year has had some sort of overarching theme for me.

I’ve had a few conversations recently — both with professors and friends who are also into healthcare — about the rise of high deductible health plans (HDHPs), especially in the five years since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Between 2005 and 2014, the number of Americans covered by one of these HDHPs grew from one million to 17.4 million. That is a rapid and significant increase. As background, a deductible is a predetermined amount you have to pay for your healthcare before your insurance begins to share in the cost with you.
