Letter: Columnist perpetuates lies and deceit on campus

(02/27/03 5:00am)

Only days after long-time Chronicle columnist Abdullah Al-Arian published a guest column, his father Sami Al-Arian was indicted as the North American leader of one of the world's most dangerous terrorist organizations, Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Sadaf Raja's sarcastic, dismissive response to Dr. Bala Ambati's column does an excellent job, not of refuting Ambati's claims, but of proving his point.

Radical's claims about Duke unfounded, false

(09/02/02 4:00am)

Jessica Rutter's cliche-filled attempt to demonstrate "how racist this university is" only demonstrates her ignorance and self-righteousness. Her criticism of Duke's academics leads one to wonder if she's ever registered for class. Contrary to her assertions, ethnic studies are present on campus. African and African American Studies and Latin American Studies are only the obvious examples; most humanities and social science departments also offer courses dealing with ethnicity. Perhaps Rutter could explain how "the philosophy department, [which] only consider[s] European and American writers as philosophers" managed to teach Chinese Philosophy last fall. Or how the economics department fails to address "alternatives to global capitalism," while regularly offering a course on Comparative Economic Systems.
