Hasta la victoria
As Latina alumnae of Duke University, we write to express our continued disappointment in Duke administration’s lack of progress towards justice and equity. In accordance with the brave nine students currently in the Allen Building, students camping in A-Ville and faculty and staff in support of peaceful protest, we are bewildered as to why Executive Vice President Tallman Trask has not resigned or asked to step down. Quite frankly, it seems that Duke University does not understand the criticality and necessity of holding a top administrator accountable for their actions. Issuing a public apology is merely a publicity stunt that fails to act as a catalyst for institutional improvement. This letter is yet another call to action for our alma mater.
