Empowering our professors

(03/16/16 4:24am)

As one of the top 10 universities in the United States, Duke is responsible for the cultivation of the next generation of philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. Through its liberal-arts curriculum, Duke aims to instill in its students the values of innovation, leadership, and accountability. Duke is not about just about creating professionals; it’s about creating engaged global citizens. That is why Duke invites speakers like Patrisse Cullors and facilitates early voting on campus; Duke understands that civic engagement and self-expression are key to a thriving student community.

Faculty diversity: An argument for a faculty union

(11/17/15 6:51am)

All eyes were on President Brodhead and Provost Kornbluth last Friday as they took the stage in Page Auditorium to address the racism and homophobia on campus. Over the course of the assembly, administrators reiterated their assertion that they are doing everything in their power to create a safe and accepting environment for students of all backgrounds. While President Brodhead struggled to outline precise actions that Duke will undertake to change the campus culture, there is at least one substantive action Duke can take that will improve the campus community with respect to faculty diversity. Duke should guarantee the right of contingent professors to organize their union free of intimidation. Having a faculty union on campus would greatly improve the diversity among professors that students repeatedly demanded over the course of the forum and empower professors to address racism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism in their classrooms and their departments.
