I write to thank The Chronicle for its coverage of Eric Mlyn’s reappointment as the Executive Director of DukeEngage. Your article and editorial bring important attention to a program that has become a hallmark of Duke’s commitment to using knowledge in service to society.
I appreciate your coverage of Monday night's "town meeting" on tenure, but I feel that the headline "Nowicki calls on students to change tenure process" was misleading. I did call on students to become activists, as I have since my arrival at Duke four years ago. My remarks, though, were not directed at tenure specifically. In spite of the controversies that sometimes arise, I do not see the tenure process as inherently flawed. Duke is a research university; thus, an evaluation of the quality of a professor's research must play a central role in tenure decisions. I came to Duke because of its first-rate research environment, and I am willing to be evaluated on my ability to contribute to that research mission.
