In recent weeks, Duke University lost a giant. On behalf of all 8,500 undergraduate, graduate and professional black alumni of Duke University, we mourn the loss of Wilhelmina Reuben-Cooke (Trinity, ’67).
As a 1994 Duke alumnus, I take issue with Dave Nigro's column about "affirmative inaction." Like so many, he reflexively equates "diversity" with a "lack of merit." This is ludicrous on its face. In fact, you can't have real excellence and merit without diversity. Just to dispel one notion-I was an African-American student at Duke who was on the Dean's List or Dean's List with Distinction for six semesters in a row. Many of my friends that were minorities similarly excelled, with one African-American graduate in the Class of 1995 clerking with the Supreme Court.
