Column: Surveillance versus security

(11/20/02 5:00am)

You may not know it, but Campus Council is currently considering a piece of legislation that will probably be the most important decision made by a student governing body this year. Their resolution concerning on-campus safety contains a number of suggestions that could have significant effects on students' lives. Most of the proposals are common-sensical, if expensive, like increasing lighting and replacing gender-specific bathroom locks with card readers.

Rethinking early decision

(09/18/02 4:00am)

Maybe through ignorance, maybe through greed, maybe through lack of courage, Duke retains a policy in its undergraduate admissions that perpetuates economic inequity and exacerbates the tendency of the University to be a playground for the well-to-do. The policy should be familiar to most of you--about a third of the undergraduate student body took advantage of it. The policy is admission through early decision. Through this process, the applicants submit their applications several months before the regular deadline and receive a decision several months early as well. Early decision applicants have an increased chance of admission, because they make a commitment that, should they be admitted, they will withdraw their applications to other schools and matriculate at Duke.
