Note from the chair of the Editorial Board

(10/23/14 12:29pm)

As the chair of the Editorial Board, I wanted to take a few moments to reflect on an editorial published this week, Si Se Puede. The editorial seeks to find ways to foster an environment of productive debate among students in the Duke community, and contemplate strategies for broadening the discussion when such outreach is desired. I regret the parts that were misrepresented; it was not the intention of the board to suggest that multicultural groups should have to change.
