Community Editorial Board argues that we have “lost our way in the liberal arts.” However, one major issue with their argument is they deem adding an ethnic studies department unrealistic and then use Program II to justify this statement. How can someone possibly make a Program II major in ethnic studies, when those classes don’t even exist at Duke? A fair amount of students have to go to UNC just to take courses pertaining to their identity, which is unfair as they simply wish to express and learn about their identity at their own school.

The recent controversy surrounding DSG’s decision to revoke the charter of Students Supporting Israel (SSI) has demonstrated our inability as a student body to support productive dialogue and education on Israel and Palestine. For those of you who have not been keeping up with the commotion, SSI, a pro-Israel international organization, recently assembled on campus with the mission of promoting Israel and providing educational and open discussion opportunities.

On November 15, Duke Student Government President Christina Wang issued an unprecedented veto for the recognition of a new student group, Duke Students Supporting Israel (SSI). The Duke Israel Public Affairs Committee and Duke Friends of Israel unequivocally support the charter of SSI. We believe that this veto highlights the institutional bias and antisemitism rooted in DSG and reinforces the need for DSG to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
As a white Jewish woman, I credit the voices of Palestinian, Black and Indigenous activists in inspiring my movement toward the fight for Palestinian liberation. In my support of Students for Justice in Palestine’s Letter to the Editor, I was hesitant to publish anything that might detract from Palestinian voices or center myself within a narrative of oppressorship and settler-colonialism.
DSG President Christina Wang's veto of recognition of Students Supporting Israel,(SSI), a pro Israel group that operates in over 160 colleges and universities in the United States and abroad, is a clear violation of the 2019 Resolution Agreement entered into between Duke and the Civil Rights Division.of the Department of Education to deal with existing and future antisemitism at Durham.("DSG President Christina Wang vetoes recognition.of Students Supporting Israel, citing inappropriately social media conduct").

Less than a week since its Duke Student Government (DSG) recognition, Duke’s burgeoning Students Supporting Israel (SSI) chapter has already performed a paradigmatic analogy of settler-colonial projects: they came, they disrupted, they crumbled.
The campaign for divestment from fossil fuels has a long and volatile history at Duke that began in 2012 with widespread support from the student body. Nine years, 11 op-eds, dozens of petitions and a unanimous DSG resolution later, Duke remains invested in fossil fuels. Administration refuses to acknowledge this and continues to use misleading language around this issue, saying that Duke has divested from “direct involvement in fossil fuels”. While this is true, indirect involvement is still putting money behind fossil fuel companies, and it is an outright lie if we claim to be climate neutral in 2024 when our endowment continues to fund fossil fuel projects through third-party asset managers.

On October 26, the Asian Students Associations, Mi Gente, Duke Diya, the Asian American Alliance, Asian American Studies Working Group at Duke University, ASEAN and Mobilizing Asian Students Together released a letter in conjunction with DSG’s Equity and Outreach Committee calling out the administration for ignoring student concerns about the lack of accessible cultural spaces on campus and instead deciding to move the Career Center into the Bryan Center. The letter is formed on the foundation of decades-old demands for improved cultural spaces on campus—particularly for Asian, Latino, Black and Indigenous students, as well as students with disabilities. The letter is formed on the foundation of decades-old demands for improved cultural spaces on campus—particularly for Asian, Latino, Black and Indigenous students, as well as students with disabilities—just as the Howard University’s recent Live Movement was formed on decades-old demands for improved residential structures within Howard University dorms. And just like the Live Movement recognized the need for student advocacy in student spaces, the letter ended by recognizing that the “Bryan Center is a center for students, and as such, student voices and agency should be at the forefront of how this space is utilized.”
