The Supreme Court will decide whether race-conscious admissions practices are constitutional this June, following oral arguments heard in two cases against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in fall 2022.
The Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture hosted its annual Black History Month keynote lecture on Wednesday in Page Auditorium, featuring American author, filmmaker and activist Kimberly Latrice Jones.
The Association for Mixed People at Duke, a new group intended to create community for students with mixed identities, hosted its first interest meeting in the Bryan Center Monday.
Duke has experienced some dramatic changes to its social scene over the past few years with the disaffiliation of Greek groups and the introduction of QuadEx.
“I saw those tanks. I saw those soldiers armed, like, fully armed. They started destroying all the houses. And I was afraid for my life and for the life of my family.”
Duke recently published its 2022 Annual Security Report, which includes newly released crime statistics for fiscal year 2021, which started in Oct. 2020.
In spring 2022, students in ENV 245, Theory and Applications of Sustainability, collaborated with Duke staff and researchers on a project centered around the sustainability impacts of the University’s trees.
The Durham City Council voted unanimously last month to suspend ties with one of Durham’s sister cities, Kostroma, Russia.
The year is 1900, and it’s a typical afternoon on Durham’s “Black Wall Street.” Black families, couples and individuals are getting haircuts at local barbershops, putting down payments on their houses at North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company and running errands in the plethora of Black-owned stores that line the street.
Durham County has changed significantly over the past decade, experiencing urban revitalization, gentrification and economic shifts toward the technology and innovation industries. These changes have attracted new faces looking for opportunity in the booming Research Triangle.

We come bearing an apology and a very, very tardy column. A bit late for PASH to be ringing in the New Year, right? Let’s just say that we’ve been woefully lacking in muses here on the production side of things. But, with the support of the PASH team and my amazing, patient, absolute saint of an editor, on this fine Tuesday morning, I will be sharing a story with undoubtedly a little TMI: what led me to realize that I was having an adverse reaction to my birth-control pill.
Some congratulations are in order. The world around us seems to be upending beneath our feet, and we have been absent that tangible, unsanitized contact with humanness for a long time—you know, the kind where you can touch a gas station countertop and not be reminded of your own mortality. Despite it all, we made it to LDOC. Holy shit, right? There’s nothing like finals season and a week-long retinal image of textbook pages to make an existential limbo that much more boundless, and I personally have a rapidly sinking ship of energy and motivation that I need to salvage a last crumb of productivity from. So, let's make this short and sweet: Let’s talk about porn.
Let me set the scene: you’re a twenty year old Black girl who goes to Duke. And wait, there’s more: you have never seriously dated anyone, but you’ve wanted to, and have sometimes even actively tried. Hold on, that was a bit too self-descriptive. Let me start again: you may or may not be twenty, and you may or may not be a Black girl, but you’re a Duke student who is single and not necessarily by choice. Well, as your fellow comrade, nay, connoisseur, in all things single, here, I want to give a bit of space to some of the challenges we experience, in hopes that at least one of you knows that someone else out here gets it.
On August 7th, 2020, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion graced our ears with the now infamous song “WAP.” While I personally thought it was a banger, not everyone was on board with it. In fact, shortly after the release of the music video, some notable people on Twitter had a lot to say. Here are some of my favorites:
As we grow within ourselves and navigate our internal and external worlds, we come to a greater awareness of the multitudinous, if not infinite productions of the term “relationship.” There are the relationships we have with family—with our parents, siblings, and that one great aunt who insists, “You have to remember me! I held you when you were a baby!” There are the relationships we have at college—with that professor we make sure to FLUNCH each semester, the classmate we can always rely on to answer, “What the heck are we doing?” and that other person studying in Perkins at 3:00 am, with whom you sit in the silent, inexplicable comfort that you aren’t alone, that your sleeplessness is shared. I could certainly go on about the different kinds of relationships, but that would take, well, forever. We will engage in relationships having wildly different needs, expectations and codes of behavior for the entirety of our lives, be they familial, platonic, academic, professional, romantic, sexual, or the relationship with our very self. To be a healthy, happy, productive version of ourselves in each can be…overwhelming, to say the least. Here’s a secret though: all relationships, in their best form, stand on one, common base—effective communication. As we recognize National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, this column will reflect upon the centrality of communication and ultimately, how we can begin to really show up for ourselves and for others within our lives.
