Not every college or university has a place like Lilly.
Duke is prioritizing public appearance at the expense of student mental health. It is time for Duke to show leadership at the forefront of bringing America back to normal.
In light of this, we call on the university administration to release the results of surveillance testing on a daily basis so that students and faculty are not 'flying blind' each week with regards to COVID-19 case numbers on campus.
Daniel’s soul was overflowing. Everywhere he went, he spilled joy from the seams of his floral shirt.
I appreciate the Sports section story "Five Blue Devils medal at Tokyo Olympics" of August 13th and big props to all our athletes on their accomplishments. Nonetheless, no mention of the horse ridden by Jessica Springsteen?
We appreciate the letters you have written to us, the emails you have responded to and the deep connection you have established with everyone who has approached you over these many years.
Our program touches every single undergraduate student at Duke. It is too important to jeopardize.
We, faculty from 19 colleges and universities across North Carolina, are writing to strongly condemn Israeli attacks on historic Palestine.
At the end of the day, we want the same thing: reasoned discussion on issues that matter.
The Duke Chronicle published a letter to the editor from the Sunrise Movement Durham and signed in solidarity by three Duke professors that called on the Center for the History of Political Economy to cancel a scheduled talk by Bjorn Lomborg.

We must remember that Duke was built on the backs of Black and Brown people and continues to rely on these communities to operate today.
The undersigned call on the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke to end its conflicts of interest by denying platforms to Koch-funded diffusers of misinformation.
President Price issued a statement about the events of January 6th in Washington. As a holder of a Duke degree and long-time employee, I find this statement sorely lacking.
Duke has not merely an opportunity to tell a wider, more diverse story of its origins, but to tell a story that will guide it into its second century.
What does it say about the standing of our institution when we are willing to engage with a speaker who has ties to pro-conversion-therapy groups in the name of ‘academic freedom’?
The Duke Catholic Center (DCC) has a history of marginalizing Black students, failing to uphold its mission to create a welcoming community grounded in social justice.
We ask the Duke administration to take additional steps to secure and protect the voting rights of every member of the Duke community.
We will hold up our end of the compact. Will the university’s leadership hold up theirs?
The system is not broken; it is doing exactly what it was created to do by insulating wealthy, white students from the broader Duke community.
