Blue Devils host Troy in homecoming game

by Daniel Carp The ChroniCle

This week’s contest between Duke and Troy will feature a pair of teams facing off for the first time, with both looking to break a two-game losing streak and climb back above .500.

Duke looks to enter the upcoming bye week with a winning record by snagging a victory against the Troy Trojans in front of its homecoming vs. crowd at Wallace Wade Stadium SatDuke urday at 3 p.m. “it’s a long seaSATURDAY, 3 p.m. son and i think we Wallace Wade Stadium have a lot of veteran leaders on this team that understand how long this season is,” redshirt senior cornerback ross Cockrell said. “We’re 2-2 right now, but we still have eight more games to play.” in last week’s 58-55 loss to Pittsburgh, the Blue Devils fought back from a 20-7 hole in the first quarter and a 51-28 deficit in the third quarter, only to have the game put out of reach by Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage.

This weekend will not require the Blue Devil defense to venture far outside of its comfort zone, as Troy sport a twoquarterback system that is similar to the one Duke ran before starter Anthony Boone went down with a broken collarbone. Senior quarterback Deon Anthony also leads the Trojans’ rushing attack, racking up 211 yards on the ground in the first four games.

“We have to be able to change gears on a moment’s basis,” defensive end Kenny Anunike said. “You come off playing Georgia Tech, that spread-option offense, then going to playing hard-nosed traditional football where Pitt is just trying to pound the ball down our throat.

We have to switch gears and get back into that mode.”

Troy redshirt senior quarterback Corey robinson, who leads the passing at-

tack, entered the season as the nCAA’s active leader in passing attempts, completions and yards. he has struggled to find consistent success from game to game this season. his last two performances include a 371-yard outburst against Arkansas State, followed by a 105-yard performance in last week’s blowout loss to Mississippi State.

The Trojans have been on both ends of major blowouts this season, routing Savannah State 66-3 Sept. 7 before getting trounced by Mississippi State 62-7 just two weeks later. But Duke head coach David Cutcliffe was adamant that neither of the blowouts would affect the team’s approach to Saturday’s game.

“When you’re dealing with [watching film], you really don’t get into the score of the game,” Cutcliffe said. “We’re so in-tune to studying the individual and the scheme they’re in and using that often times when i’m watching a game, i don’t even know what the score of the game is.” on the other side of the ball, Connette became the first quarterback in Duke history to pass for 300 yards and rush for 100 when the redshirt junior racked up 323 yards through the air and 101 on the ground in a losing effort against the Panthers.

The contest did not start well for the Blue Devils’ signal caller, who threw a pair of first-quarter interceptions that led to a Pittsburgh touchdown. Connette went on to toss four touchdowns and punch in two more scores on the ground himself, tossing two more interceptions in the fourth quarter. “[The coaches] really put an emphasis on instead of playing from [behind], just going out getting a lead,” wide receiver Jamison Crowder said. “Coming out with that urgency early so we can play with a lead instead of, during the game, trying to come back.”

Crowder proved once again why he is one of the most explosive players in the league, racking up 279 all-purpose

With 279 all-purpose yards against Pittsburgh last weekend, junior wide receiver Jamison Crowder ranks third in the ACC in all-purpose yardage per game.

yards against the Panthers. The height of Crowder’s performance came in his three-touchdown second quarter, including a punt return for a touchdown, which led to his second ACC Specialist of the Week selection.

Against a Trojans defense that lets

up an average of 146.2 rushing yards per game, along with 10 touchdowns through their first four contests, the Blue Devil backfield should be geared to have a big day on the ground after tallying 213 rushing yards against the Panthers.

Chinese government gives final approval to Duke Kunshan

by Lauren Carroll The ChroniCle

Since submitting a 400-page application more than two years ago, administrators have anxiously waited—without a definitive timetable—for the Chinese Ministry of education sign off on Duke’s new campus in Kunshan.

As of Monday, it is official—the Chinese government has given its final stamp of approval to Duke Kunshan University, which administrators expect will open Fall 2014. now, Duke must rush to recruit students for the inaugural class.

The announcement comes without much fanfare, though most Allen Building offices received tall bouquets of blue and green balloons adorned with the DKU logo Monday afternoon. last December, Duke held a high-profile celebration in Kunshan after receiving preliminary approval, said nora Bynum, vice provost for DKU and China initiatives. This was a largely symbolic step because the University was still not permitted to formally recruit students. There will be no such event for final establishment approval, Bynum added. “right now, we’ve got a lot of work to do,” she said. “We need to focus on moving forward because we don’t have much time.”

Provost Peter lange said that in recent weeks, he has been confident that establishment approval was right around the corner.

Administrators got final word from the Chinese Ministry of education last week, in a “flurry of emails and phone calls,” Bynum added.

Duke is immediately launching its recruitment efforts, though admissions deadlines are tight, and tuition and which faculty

will teach next Fall are still in flux.

Duke and its Chinese partners were unable to have “serious discussions” about tuition until DKU was granted establishment approval, Bynum said, noting that she hopes to have the cost finalized as soon as possible.

She added that international undergraduates, such as current Duke students, interested in study abroad in Kunshan should expect costs comparable to Duke tuition.

More than 50 faculty members are lined up to teach at DKU in the first couple of years. The only program with faculty listed on the DKU website currently is the masters of science in global health through the Duke Global health institute. other programs expected to launch next Fall are a masters in management studies through the Fuqua School of Business and undergraduate study abroad. A program in medical physics is awaiting faculty approval.

As part of its outreach and marketing plan, Duke launched new admissions and curriculum pages on its website Monday afternoon, and various DKU leaders will visit Chinese universities for meetings and information sessions in coming months.

This week, seven Chinese journalists will visit the Durham campus to meet with DKU administrators and leaders at the various Duke schools and departments planning on offering programs at DKU, said Director of Global Communications laura Brinn.

Since Duke finalized its China plans in January 2010, DKU has faced significant delays due to changes in leadership, partnerships falling through and slowed construction.

Many expected DKU to be the first legally independent American university

approved by the Chinese government. instead, that title was given to new York University Shanghai, which received final approval october 2012 and welcomed its first class of undergraduates a couple weeks ago.What do you think? lange said the process was, at times, slower than he anticipated, but the added time gave Duke flexibility to prepare at its own pace. “in the end, the slightly longer time is not of any real consequence and possibly beneficial,” he said. like Duke, nYU Shanghai had a year between receiving final approval and the start of the school year. nYU Shanghai students are currently living off-campus

until next year when construction is completed.

DKU’s 200-acre campus is slated to be ready for students next summer, months before students arrive. lange, who also chairs the DKU Board of Trustees, will step down as provost at the end of the academic year. he said he will likely not know what his future involvement with DKU will be until the new provost is chosen.

This Thursday, faculty are expected to privately discuss the provost search at the first Academic Council meeting of the year. There are no public discussions or presentations about DKU planned for the meeting.

ORANGE CRUSHED

Duke defeats Syracuse 16-10 for second national championship

by Andrew Beaton The Chronicle

PHILADELPHIA—If it felt like No. 1 seed Syracuse barely had the ball after it nurtured a 5-0 lead against seventh-seeded Duke, it’s because the Orange barely did.

Blue Devil faceoff specialist and tournament most outstanding player Brendan Fowler won 13 consecutive faceoffs in the second through fourth periods, allowing Duke to dominate possession en route to a 16-10 victory and the program’s second national championship.

“I told John [Danowski] after the game to buy his faceoff guy a big steak because he deserved one,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “We just couldn’t get the ball in the second half.”

The Blue Devils brought home the trophy for the first time since 2010 after reaching the championship weekend for seven consecutive seasons—all under head coach John Danowski and since the 2006 season was cancelled amid false allegations of rape.

Although the Blue Devils came out of the gate looking “tight” in the words of Danowski, they went on a 12-1 run in the second through fourth periods to secure a lead and the win.

The Orange built a 4-0 advantage in the first period, even though Duke won 3-of-5 faceoffs. Fowler was 2-for-4 in those while getting whistled for a penalty and adjusting to the style of the referees.

“I let it get to my head a little bit,” Fowler said. “Once I cooled down a little, and just stuck to what I do every day, I got into a

groove.”

The junior then won 15-of-16 faceoffs in the second and third periods as the Blue Devils narrowed the gap and eventually took the lead. He finished the game 20-of-28.2 “We would say maybe this would be the week Brendan doesn’t win 65 percent of his faceoff and we figure out how to compete, how to win if he doesn’t,” Danowski said.

“That day almost never came.”

Jordan Wolf broke the ice for Duke to make it 5-1 in the second period and scored again with 1:51 left in the half to bring Duke within one at the break, trailing 6-5.

The Orange struggled even more in the third period to gain possession as Fowler won all seven faceoffs in the 15-minute span.

Paced by two goals each from seniors Josh Offit and David Lawson in the third period, Duke took a lead it would never relinquish and entered the fourth up 10-7.

The offensive onslaught continued in the fourth, though Duke only won 4-of-10 faceoffs in the quarter while Fowler faced a new adversary.

Senior Orange defender Brian Megill, who leads the team in groundballs and rarely spends time at the faceoff X, had some success pushing Fowler around and giving Syracuse some much needed possession.

“I just wish I went out there two quarters earlier,” Megill said.

Finishing with two fourth-quarter goals, Wolf paced the team with four scores while Josh Dionne and Josh Offit both added hat tricks. The Blue Devils finished the game scoring 10 of the last 13 goals.

julia may/The Chronicle file photo

The Blue Devils captured their second national championship in program history with a 16-10 victory against Syracuse.

In the game, Fowler extended his single-season record for faceoff victories to 339 while also finishing the season second in Division I history with 209 groundballs.1 But Fowler was a diamond in the X for Danowski, who said he did not recruit Fowler and that the Chaminade High School product got into Duke “on his

own.”

Danowski didn’t meet Fowler, who also plays football at Duke, until August of his freshman year. As a sophomore, Fowler broke his collarbone in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, a 12-9 win against Syracuse.

“We take no credit for the recruitment of Brendan Fowler,” Danowski said.

Duke professors arrested for civil protest over the summer

by Danielle Muoio The Chronicle

Duke professors who teach civil rights and civil disobedience have chosen to lead by example.

On April 29, professors hailing from different fields joined members of the NAACP and other activists to protest policies put forth by the Republican-controlled General Assembly. That day, the movement ended in thirty arrests, but the acts of civil disobedience have only grown as students and local residents joined the movement to protest legislation that will have major effects for North Carolina residents. Referred to as “Moral Mondays,” the civil disobedience campaigns will continue throughout the month of June.

Among the original crop of protestors was William Chafe, Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of history, who served as dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences and vice provost for undergraduate education from 1995 to 2004.

Chafe was arrested for his participation in the campaign on Apr. 29 at 5:30 pm and was not released until 2 am.

“We saw ourselves as really speaking as people who have worked hard on both documenting and creating the history of North Carolina that this legislature is now trying to dismantle,” he said. “We wanted to set an example of how people with established reputations were willing to demonstrate their conviction that the legislature is pursuing a totally wrong direction.”

Lawmakers in the General Assembly have proposed cutting unemployment benefits, money for pre-school education and Medicaid funding, among other wide-ranging policy changes, all of which have served as the impetus for the civil disobedience campaigns, Chafe said.

“This was all cruel and malicious,” he said.

“It was designed to hurt people.... We are protecting against this determination to hurt people and destroy the common good.”

Far-reaching policy changes The civil disobedience campaigns were born out of a need to protest harmful legislation that undercuts economic and social progress, said Bob Korstad, professor of public policy and history, who was arrested at the May 6 protest.

“The primary policy that the Republicans are putting in place is a policy of austerity— that the government should be as small as possible, taxes as low as possible and that a disengaged government is one that provides the most freedom for citizens and, in their view, the best opportunity for economic growth and development,” he said. “From a historical viewpoint, I think that is an inaccurate under-

control. The cut reduced unemployment insurance benefits from $535 per week to $350 in late March.

In addition to health care cuts and restrictions to unemployment benefits, legislators are also looking to make radical changes to education, Orenstein said. He emphasized the issues with a voucher program—House Bill 944—that would spend $90 million of

standing of how economic growth and development take place in a complicated capitalistic society such as ours.”

In April, North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature rejected expanding Medicaid to cover 500,000 uninsured people in the state, Chafe said, adding that the cut endangers many people when it would not cost the state a penny for the first two years it went into effect.

“There was no logical reason for them to do that,” Bruce Orenstein, a professor at the Center for Documentary Studies who was arrested Monday for protesting, said of the Medicaid cuts. “That is something that really violates my values.”

Chafe added that denying benefits to the unemployed punishes those who may have gotten laid off for reasons outside of their

taxpayer money to subsidize private school tuition. The bill will take money away from the public school systems that need it more than private schools, he said.

“Every legitimate independent study that has been done on whether vouchers work show that they do not make a difference and yet the General Assembly is moving forward with a plan that will hurt funding for public schools,” he said.

The House of Representatives also gave preliminary approval to new income limits for the preschool program in early May. Chafe referred to such cuts as “insane.”

“If you’ve ever learned anything about cognitive development, the first five years of a child’s life is more important for being successful,” Chafe said.

Korstad also raised particular concern with a bill that could require voters to show photo identification before going to the polls.

He noted that such a bill, along with potential restrictions that could limit the length of time people can vote, are “mean spirited” and heavily impact low-income North Carolina residents.

The array of changes encouraged the professors to take a role in the Monday civil disobedience campaigns, and many more have either participated already or plan on doing so.

“They are going in the totally wrong direction,” Korstad said of the General Assembly.

“It will take them a long time to get the ship going back in the right direction.”

Under arrest All of the professors who have participated in Moral Mondays have been arrested for second degree trespass and failure to disperse on command.

Chafe referred to his short incarceration as a “great time” that allowed the protestors to make new friendships and have wide-ranging conversations. Additionally, the protestors all sang together throughout their eight to 10-hour stays in prison.

Korstad, however, did not recall the experience as fondly.

“It was not fun,” he said. “I spent two hours with these plastic bracelets that they use to tie your hands behind your back, and they were tightened up so badly I have bruises around my wrists.”

The protestors were very diverse across race, sex, age and socioeconomic status, Korstad said. He noted that such diversity is indicative of the wide array of support behind the cause.

Police officers treated the protestors with respect and were very friendly, Orenstein noted. Orenstein recalled one black officer thanking him because he “would not be here” if it weren’t for civil disobedience. Another female police officer then chimed in and said the same.

“I’m not one to go out and get arrested, nor are many of the people who did,” Orenstein said. “But that’s the only path forward that seems to be left.

After $15 million in renovations, Baldwin is open to students

by LaCreshaStyles The ChroniCle

After two years of renovation, the new and improved Baldwin Auditorium is open on east Campus. The auditorium was unavailable to students while it underwent $15 million worth of repairs, transforming the dated space into an elegant, state-of-the-art concert hall. The building—erected in 1927—had previously seen few renovations and little refurbishing.

What do you think?

“The first renovations made to Baldwin in the 1980s were just a basic paint job and a changing out of the seats. it was more cosmetic than anything else,” said elizabeth Thompson, promotions specialist for the Duke Music Department.

The recent undertaking was much more involved, requiring a complete overhaul of the performance area. As a campus landmark, the exterior design was largely maintained, but the interior was significantly improved. originally built as a general auditorium, the venue was not designed with musical performance in mind—the space was cavernous with poor acoustics.

The re-imagined space unites everyone in the hall, with a wraparound balcony that is much closer to the musicians and a stage that brings performers nearer to spectators on the ground floor. “now, there are very cool-looking soundreflecting panels standing out from the back of the stage, reflecting the sound back to the audience rather than disappearing into the dome,” said Jonathan Bagg, interim chair of the music department and director of chamber music, as well as a member of the Ciompi String Quartet. in addition to reconstructing the seating and stage area, the entire air handling system

has been revamped so that every single seat has its own personal vent beneath it.

“That might seem extravagant, but it cuts down on the whooshing sound in the hall that interferes with the silence that you want in a concert,” Bagg said.

every addition has been geared toward engineering an extraordinary place to listen to music, surpassing both the Page Auditorium and reynolds Theater. The end result is a space unlike any other on Duke’s campus.

“The term ‘world class’ is overused, but this

is actually a world-class concert hall. You are going to have as good an experience as you are likely to have at any other concert hall in the world,” said Aaron Greenwald, director of Duke Performances.

Baldwin Auditorium is unique in that all of its resources have been dedicated solely to the production of acoustic music.

“The new concert hall is designed specifically for music and not really anything else,” Greenwald said. “it’s unlike any other space within the next 100 to 200 miles. it’s a concert hall that is going to be superb for jazz and chamber music.”

Baldwin, with 685 seats, is not massive compared to some other venues. Accordingly, audience members can expect to have a very intimate experience with the music produced. Though meeting the needs of the musicians was the principal goal of the renovations to Baldwin Auditorium, the end result does not only benefit the artists. By focusing on the desires of performers, the renovations will allow the audience to experience grander performances.

“We produce the sound and [the auditorium] amplifies the sound and makes it more beautiful… that’s what a great concert hall does,” Bagg said. “i think it will make everyone try a little bit harder. They will take themselves and their performances more seriously because everyone will try to be worthy of [Baldwin].”

The new concert hall will be shared between the Music Department and Duke Performances.

“This is a venue that connects us to the community. it’s going to feel like much more a part of the city than other Duke venues,” said Bagg. “it’s a very welcoming thing.”

DUHS struggles with transition to electronic medical record

by Tim Bai

The ChroniCle

The Duke University health System’s recent shift to using electronic medical records promises a future of streamlined health care, but the new system’s implementation has created several hurdles for patients and providers alike. over the past summer, the hospital completely revamped the organization of its online databases by introducing Maestro Care, a new medical records technology designed to unify the various branches of DUhS, consolidate records and improve the quality of patient communication. Many health care providers at the hospital have seen immediate beneficial results of the switch, made in response to federal requirements, but there are still some problems with switching over records and scheduling patients, particularly in Duke Student health.

Maestro Care does not currently include an online scheduling system for Student health, making it more difficult for students to make appointments, said Jean hanson, associate director for clinical support services and outreach at Duke Student health. The new system also has multiple steps for registration, which requires more paperwork.

Moreover, Maestro Care does not have the ability to track immunization records for incoming students and volunteers, and it has been incapable so far of transferring all the old student health files into its new database.

All of these problems have contributed to much longer waiting times in the clinic.

“With the [old] system we were using, about 60 percent of the appointments that were made each day were done online,” hanson said. “Since the students can’t do that [now], they’re having to call in and we can’t

answer the phones fast enough.”

Maestro Care is an interactive program which can process suggestions from its users to improve efficiency. The new system also uses the Duke MyChart—a more effective way for patients to view healthcare documents and communicate with doctors online. Maestro Care was introduced in response to the health information Technology for economic and Clinical health Act, which will start penalizing hospitals who do not switch to digital records by 2015.

Director of Student health Dr. John Vaughn said he hopes that by the end of the semester, students will once again be able to make appointments online and have access to MyChart. For the time being, Vaughn is urging students to bear with the changes being made.

Vaughn noted that because the changes to Student health came at the end of DUhS’ switch to Maestro, many of their services have been slowed down. “it’s definitely frustrating for us but it could also be frustrating for students,” Vaughn said. “i would just ask students to be patient with us for now and realize in the long run that it’s going to be a good thing.” outside of Student health, DUhS is seeing other issues with Maestro.

As with any software overhaul, there are still some issues with adjustment, wrote Dr. lisa nadler, a family medicine physician who was involved in the implementation of Maestro Care at Duke, in an email. Maestro Care has yet to go live in Duke regional hospital and Duke raleigh hospital, meaning many resources for implementation have been concentrated at those locations. Due to limited funding and time, it has been a struggle to answer requests for changes in the system.

D u K E A lu m n i S t o p ove r p ay i n g o n yo u r s t u d e n t l o a n s

“There are currently 3,300 tickets in the queue of things that people want and need optimized,” nadler said. “We are in the process of prioritizing these and will chip [these] away over time with the resources available.”

Despite current shortcomings, high prospects remain for Maestro Care once it

surpasses the transition phase of implementation. employees were trained for eight hours or more on the new system based on their levels of responsibilities, but hanson believes that with more training and experience, hospital providers will be able to fully utilize the system to improve both student and patient care.

From bookworm to billionaire: meet David Rubenstein

niColE saVaGE /The ChroniClefile phoTo

David Rubenstrein, Trinity ’70, assumed his position as the chair of the Board of Trustees.

by Julian Spector The ChroniCle

When incoming chair of the Board of Trustees, David rubenstein, Trinity ’70, was young, he consistently borrowed and read the maximum number of books that his public library allowed. he loved reading because, even from his room in a working class neighborhood of Baltimore, books could show him the world.

These days, one of Duke’s libraries has his name on it, and he is more likely to buy books than to borrow them. Some of his favorite purchases include original copies of the Magna Carta, the Declaration of independence, the emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment. luckily for the world, rubenstein likes to share. “i’m not against people putting things in their home, but i want people to see these, so i put them in the Smithsonian and the national Archives,” he said. rubenstein was calling from his car while driving to Dulles international Airport from the library of Congress, where he had organized a dinner discussion for republican

and Democratic congressmen and senators to come together and talk about Thomas Jefferson. he was about to fly to Minneapolis, Minn. for work. he no longer needs books to take him around the world, because he travels about 260 days each year as co-Ceo of global investment giant the Carlyle Group, which had total assets of $31.6 billion at the end of 2012.

Despite rubenstein’s many accomplishments, the multibillionaire noted that he would have never imagined that his life would round out this way as a high school student. “if people from our class were picking who would be chairman of the Board of Trustees, i don’t think i would have gotten a lot of votes in 1970,” rubenstein said. “i wasn’t first in my class, i wasn’t a star athlete, but i got lucky and that’s how life works.” rubenstein’s childhood friend, Steve Baron, corroborated this sense of surprise. “i wish i could come up with something that said, ‘This guy is going to be one of the most successful businessmen in America,’” said Baron, who now directs mental health for the District of Columbia. “i don’t have that memory.” rubenstein and Baron became friends at some point after Bar Mitzvah age, Baron recalled. They attended high school together at Baltimore City College and participated in the lancers Boys Club, a sports and culture club for teenagers organized by former Baltimore judge robert hammerman. The lancers’ Friday evening meetings frequently featured speakers from accomplished public service backgrounds.

The two used to pass the time at Colts games—the football team was stationed in Baltimore back then—but Baron eventually noticed a change in rubenstein’s work ethic. rubenstein became one of the hardest workers around, racking up hours on hours studying in the library. “he probably knew he wanted to go somewhere and knew it would take a lot of work, and he was willing to put in a lot of work,” Baron suggested. if hard work alone sufficed, though, there would be many more billionaires in the world. rubenstein listed hard work first among

his core skills for success in business, but he added that work volume goes hand in hand with personal engagement. “nobody ever achieved anything great working nine to five, five days a week,” he said. “if you’re going do something with your life, find something you really enjoy.” rubenstein applied himself to several different passions through the years. When he applied to college at age 16, his father was working in a post office, and his mother worked in a retail store. Duke offered the largest scholarship, so he went there, even though he had never set foot on campus. While he was a student, rubenstein worked in the library to help pay the remaining tuition while he pursued a degree in political science.

After graduating magna cum laude from Duke, he went on to law school at the University of Chicago. A few years later, he headed to Capitol hill to work for Sen. Birch Bayh, D-ind., but when Bayh’s 1976 bid for the Democratic presidential primary fell through, rubenstein began work on Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign.

Carter’s campaign fared better, and rubenstein landed a spot in the White house as Carter’s deputy domestic policy advisor at the ripe young age of 27.

From there, rubenstein ticks off the steps in his career with almost scientific matter-offactness. Carter lost to reagan, and he was out of a job. he practiced law for a few years. And then: “in 1987, i started a small private equity or buyout firm in D.C.,” rubenstein said. “i am today co-Ceo of the Carlyle group. That firm has succeeded sufficiently well such that i am in a position to give away money.”

For a bit of context, Forbes pegged rubenstein’s net worth at $3 billion as of March. But rubenstein has always been understated, said another childhood friend and lancers alumnus, Kurt Schmoke, who served as mayor of Baltimore for 12 years. “he’s very, very thorough in whatever he does, but i’ve never found him to be a publicity seeker,” said Schmoke, who is now vice president and general counsel of howard University.

As for why he left government and the legal profession, rubenstein insists he wasn’t

too successful there.

“Jimmy Carter didn’t get re-elected and i helped get the inflation rate up to 19 percent, so there wasn’t a lot of demand for me to go back,” he said.

With Carlyle, though, rubenstein had a strategic advantage in being the first buyout firm in Washington and using his knowledge of the territory to focus on companies that work with the federal government, in order to buy and trade them better than a firm in new York might. Since then, The Carlyle Group has invested $89 billion over 26 years with a return of about 30 percent, he said. They now oversee 210 companies, managing about $175 billion in assets from 34 offices around the world. rubenstein has applied himself to giving away money with a diligence akin to his professional pursuits. he has given more than $50 million to Duke over the years. A Sanford School of Public Policy building and Duke’s rare book and manuscript library bear his name. Since May 2012, rubenstein has given $10 million more to Sanford, $10 million to the Athletics Department and $15 million for the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative. he also co-chairs the Duke Forward capital campaign, which aims to raise $3.25 billion by 2017. outside of Duke, rubenstein said he is involved in some 30 nonprofit boards as well as capital campaigns at the University of Chicago, harvard University, the Smithsonian institution, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Kennedy School of Government and the Trust For the national Mall. he serves as the principal underwriter for the annual national Book Festival in D.C. he donated $7.5 million to match Congress’ contribution to repair the Washington Monument after damage from an earthquake in 2011. of the many causes he has chosen to champion, though, rubenstein seems to hold Duke in a special standing. “i would like to be chairman not because i want to preside over 16 board meetings or just hold the position, but because i want to make Duke an even better school than it already is,” he said. “Duke was very good to me, and Duke is an important national resource. if Duke does well it will be good for the country.”
