If Duke was aware of these glaring issues, I am mortified that a deeply ingrained culture of exclusion, misogyny and unethical labor practices is less important than profit margins. It is morally reprehensible that increased revenue at the University Store warrants welcoming this company onto campus in the face of such clear affronts to Duke’s values.
If the DukeCard office printed the new DukeCards preemptively, there would be no delays in getting the key ID students need to prove their residency and to vote in Durham, and less likelihood that they will end up casting provisional ballots.

As a reproductive-aged rising OBGYN, the consequences of the Dobbs decision on safe reproductive care are as personal as they are professional.
Critics of affirmative action argue that universities reduce people down to their race. By eliminating the Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholarship program, Duke has proved them right.
