Duke Open Campus Coalition stands in solidarity with Allen Building sit-in students
(04/04/16 1:23am)
We, the Duke Open Campus Coalition, stand in solidarity with the nine students staging a sit-in in the Allen Building. Their demonstration is drawing the attention of the Duke and Durham community to the important issue of alleged acts of racial discrimination by Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaugh and Parking and Transportation Services Director Carl DePinto. Further, the right to peacefully protest always deserves to be respected by the administration, even if—and especially if—the contents of the protest criticize the University.
