On August 30,2014, Tallman Trask III, Executive Vice President of Duke University, hit Ms. Shelvia Underwood, a parking attendant, and drove away after a verbal exchange. Almost two years later, when asked about the incident by the Duke Chronicle he initially lied about hitting her. Only when presented with a copy of his apology note did Trask acknowledge that he did. In addition to hitting her, Ms. Underwood maintains the Executive Vice President used racial epithets toward her during this incident. Trask denies these allegations.
