Over 170 people gathered outside the Durham Public Schools Central Services building Monday morning to protest pay cuts for classified workers that were announced in mid-January.
My friends and family often give me a hard time. I tend to want to rate any and everything — particularly food. It’s to the point where my own mom dreads coming out to dinner with me, and to be honest, I don’t blame her. I would hate to go out with me too.
Seven schools closed after the Durham Association of Educators organized another Day of Protest in solidarity with classified workers, who are facing pay cuts after the district accidentally overpaid them due to an accounting error.
After a disheartening loss to its Tobacco Road rivals Saturday, the Blue Devils return home to take on Notre Dame Wednesday evening. Before tipoff, the Blue Zone breaks down three keys to a Duke victory:
After an up-and-down week, Duke men’s basketball checks in at No. 9 in the latest AP poll. The Blue Zone is here to break down movement in the poll around the country:
As some winter sports are coming to a close, it’s time to look ahead to the spring season. Each week, the Blue Zone will highlight an athlete who has performed especially well in their sport. Up first is Fran Oschell III:
The annual hoard of Duke students has erected dozens of tents in front of Wilson on their journey from the comfort of their dorm rooms to the brutal, not quite freezing (grace below 32 degrees) conditions of the great North Carolina wilderness of Krzyzewskiville. The tradition of rejecting heat and sleep for a tightly-squeezed, uncomfortable viewing experience of the Duke-UNC basketball game dates back over 30 years. This year, however, major changes from line monitors means tenting might look a little different.
The Durham Public Schools Board of Education was unable to come to a resolution on the ongoing pay dispute during its latest meeting, opting to table the issue until next week.
Although many Blue Devils in Durham might not have felt like celebrating this weekend given the men’s basketball team’s loss to North Carolina, the track and field athletes up in Virginia brought home plenty of consolation.
An impressive Duke squad headed into the weekend undefeated, but they had yet to be tested on the road. After two tough matches, they took the long trip home, no longer as an undefeated team.
Sportswrap is your one-stop shop for everything Duke athletics, where we’ll recap how each of Duke’s sports currently in competition performed over the last week and give a brief look ahead. Here’s our recap for the week of Jan. 29-Feb. 4:
While most students are grabbing an early dinner in the Brodhead Center or working out in Wilson or Brodie, a little-known weekly gathering takes place on Thursdays at 6 p.m. in Duke’s Hindu Life Room.
The spring semester marks many milestones for students at Duke — for first-year students, it's the beginning of their second semester, while for seniors, it's the beginning of their last.
The year is 2020. You’re sitting in your bedroom in a presentable top and pajama pants, gathering the mental fortitude to click on a Zoom link to join class, a club meeting or maybe a random webinar. You wait until the clock hits the exact start time and click to connect. Upon entering the meeting, the host announces, “Let’s just wait a couple more minutes for everyone else to log on.” Great, what a waste of time!
Humans have a distinct tendency to learn most effectively through their own experiences. It’s an inherent characteristic — we are stubborn beings, often resistant to advice and guidance no matter how wise or well-intentioned it might be. This trait seems almost universal, and it’s one I’ve observed not only in those around me but also within myself. We often need to feel the heat of the fire firsthand before we truly understand why we were warned against it.
After each Duke basketball game this season, check back here for the Player of the Game and more. In the year’s first installation of the Tobacco Road rivalry, the Blue Devils were stifled by the Tar Heels in a 84-93 defeat, and the Blue Zone is here to analyze the contest:
Shavit Kimchi fell down 3-0 early in the first set of her single’s match Saturday against No. 13 UCLA’s Kimmi Hance before turning in one of the more impressive performances the 17th-ranked Blue Devils have seen all season. The Sdey Hemed, Israel, native battled back to win the match 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 and seal a 4-0 sweep for Duke against the Bruins at the Ty Tucker Tennis Center in Columbus, Ohio.
For Duke’s seniors, Friday’s matchup against Queens was more than just another meet. It was a final chance to dive into the pool at Taishoff Aquatics Pavilion and touch the wall as a winner.
On a cold Saturday afternoon in Durham, the whole school’s focus was in Chapel Hill. For those who kept their eyes local at Koskinen Stadium, they got a show.
CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina’s largest lead Saturday came fairly early in the second half. An offensive rebound rattled away from the rim and into the waiting arms of junior forward Harrison Ingram, who coolly connected from the midrange to put the Tar Heels up 63-48 with a full 13:16 left to play. The Blue Devils spent the rest of the evening playing catch-up, doing just enough to stay within striking distance but never enough to truly make it a game again.
