On Thursday, Sept 14th, a "Letter to the Editor" ran in The Chronicle describing an unfortunate incident on the Plaza involving DUU's All Campus Entertainment and WXDU ("Racially charged incident unfortunate").
A few necessary points of clarification have resulted from the publication of this letter: First, all parties present agree that the ACE representative's actions were not "racially motivated" or intentionally disrespectful. Further, both committees were victims of miscommunication and poor scheduling, and each committee may have engaged in potentially unprofessional behaviors as a result.
All Campus Entertainment, WXDU and the Duke University Union stand firm and committed to the mission of uniting Duke University and Durham community members through enriching programming and collaborative opportunities. DUU is taking all measures to ensure miscommunication like this does not happen again.
