The independent news organization of Duke University
Of course, Duke is overwhelmingly left-wing, both in terms of student and faculty, but this is not uncommon at an elite institution. What is important is that, relative to those other schools, Duke does a pretty decent job at permitting and encouraging heterodox opinions, across the board.
After this wild-goose chase for information, I came to the conclusion that on campus, abortion coverage under the SMIP is not a topic that is well-known, well-investigated, or well-publicized.
Racial separation then becomes a means of survival. My white peers and I self-segregate. Many of our minority classmates self-preserve.
But if this is no longer my home, is home now at Duke? If I can no longer claim “chicken goo,” then what is my new house meal?
In short, it's been a fall full of hot takes and rich discourse.
It’s a notable omission given that one of Price's goals is to “give recognition to those individuals whose labor was the foundation of the wealth that created Duke University and whose hands built our campus.” How can the Commission’s membership fail to include representatives of the very people they are trying to “recognize?”
As much as I love it at Duke so far, I can say one thing for sure: the food is bland. The spiciest thing I’ve had here was called “chili broccoli,” if that says anything.
Course costs pose a barrier not only to student outcomes once they’re in a class, but actively impact students’ self-determinism in the course selection process.
There’s no reason to feel helpless forever.
Duke does not love us. Perhaps it’s time we reciprocate.
6,000 undergraduate students just returned to campus, nearly 2,000 of them are new faces, and a grand total of 30 of them are avid readers of our edits—so what are you waiting for?
Real Christians, real people of various sects, colors, and backgrounds, are implicated and suffer reputational consequences when subjected to careless generalizations that affiliate their faith with evil.
It is surprising how much you can learn about a peer or professor simply from asking them about how their definition of honor has changed with time.
“Why do you always need to be achieving something?”
I knew, even at ten years old, that I had to be seen as “reasonable” to be believed.
We need to move towards a higher education market that’s more strongly rooted in market principles, rather than in utopian faith in the capabilities of the state, that has time and time again failed to achieve its desired goals.
If “logic and reason” are used to justify the concentration camps at the border, the deaths of children, and the tearing apart of families, what value do they have?
Being nurturing is overrated, and forgiveness is overrated sometimes too.
Punishment is no longer about a safer society or closure for the victim but an internal, selfish desire to imagine violence against others.
