It is ironic on the heels of the $30-million DukeEngage initiative, which strives to promote "civic engagement" among Duke students, that a glaring example of a lack of social awareness is evident...
Stephen Miller's suggestion that alumni withhold donations from Duke ("Alumni: withhold your support," Feb. 12) to help the school may be a great example of political cant, but it is in no way...
Admission to the Senior Game (versus Georgia Tech) on Feb. 18 will operate on a modified wristband policy. At 6 p.m. Feb. 17, 780 wristbands will be distributed to seniors only. Wristband...
I am pleased that The Chronicle is interested in my course, "The South in Black and White," which has 350 students from Duke, NCCU, UNC and the local community. Provost Peter Lange calls the course...
I have read the "flyer" for Monday's "Shut Up and Teach" panel discussion, with its reference to Joseph McCarthy, suggesting that dark forces are trying to silence some politically minded Duke...
Stephen Miller's recent column ("Alums: withhold your support," Feb. 12) was misguided, short-sighted and unconvincing. In urging alumni to stop donating to Duke, Miller claims to have the best...

After contemplating the lacrosse scandal and its impact for nearly a year, I am convinced that we could not have asked for a better leader than President Richard Brodhead. From the first days of...
Shadee Malaklou's column, "Happily Ever After, Part II" (Feb. 7), provides a thoughtful yet misguided critique of the Duke woman who "desperately want[s] the dream to be real." The dream Malaklou...

Allie Vergotz's column, "DSG off-key," (Feb. 5) oversimplifies a nuanced matter. The denial of Duke Symphony Orchestra's request for "Chartered" status marked the denouement of a long process that...
I would like to comment on Andrew Gerst's column "How to save science" (Feb. 5). Even though I do agree that today science faces many issues, some of which Gerst presented, I would like to...
I read the article "Service Interest in N.O. Declines" (Feb. 2) with great interest, as it asks us to consider the limits of compassion. However, Duke has not lost interest in New Orleans. Consider...
