In a race where its opponents have a head start of a few hundred years and several billion dollars, Duke has pushed the boundaries of education in an effort to catch up. For the University, one way to keep pace has been pushing the frontiers of a new academic arena: interdisciplinarity. This word is both a direction and a brand, a strategy and a tactic, a vision and a sales pitch. In the fight for tuition

money, brand-name faculty and research grants, the University has advanced by promoting itself as a place where traditional boundaries are crossed and new types of collaboration are explored. Duke’s focus on interdisciplinarity has yielded real gains, in terms of both reputation and research. But this move away from a traditional academic structure is also changing the University in ways that may have lasting impacts on students, faculty and the institution as a whole.

University data center migrates to new network by Grace Wang The Chronicle

Duke’s data center is being moved to a new network. The University’s present network has been working well since 2007 but the new network is designed to be faster and more secure, Bob Johnson, senior director of communications infrastructure and global strategies at the Office of Information Technology, wrote in an email Wednesday. “This upgrade provides a platform that can scale up to 200 gigabits per second, more than 10 times faster than Duke’s legacy network,” he said.

By the end of this week, 75 to 80 percent of the campus database will be on the new network. The remaining part of this ongoing project, however, is expected to transition in the next six months. Many of the University’s high-bandwidth networks—including wireless networks and research efforts—have already moved to the new core, Johnson wrote. Increasing security from external sources is a leading asset of the new network. OIT collaborated with Duke security See DATA, page 8

Interdisciplinarity and Duke: a history Though interdisciplinarity has received increased attention in recent years, it is not new at Duke. In 1988, under President Keith Brodie, a Duke selfstudy committee released a report titled “Crossing Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Planning for the Nineties.” The report contained hundreds of pages analyzing Duke’s fledgling interdisciplinary efforts. Even two decades ago, there were “over 100 formal, interdisciplinary units, including Programs, Centers, Sections,

and Institutes,” according to the report. The report also sketched out a path for the growth of interdisciplinary programs at Duke, observing that successful interdisciplinary programs often grow out of a combination of core faculty interest and administrative support. “That committee determined that given Duke’s relative size—that is, that most of our departments are smaller than those of our peers—and given the See transition, page 2

L’Homme named Durham Public Schools superintendent by Aleena Karediya The Chronicle

Bert L’Homme has been chosen as Durham Public Schools’ next superintendent after a six-month search by the DPS Board of Education. L’Homme currently serves as superintendent of Catholic Schools at the Archdiocese of Washington. He will replace Eric Becoats, who resigned from the position last December amid criticism for misusing his school district-issued credit card. Colleagues noted that L’Homme brings a valuable perspective to the job, stemming from his experience in both the public and pri-

vate sectors of education. “Students are now expected to perform higher than they were yesterday, and that’s where the work has happened,” L’Homme said. “DPS as a community of educators needs to focus on these areas, and if we are suc- Bert L’Homme cessful, preparation for college and adult life will come naturally.” The job will not be L’Homme’s first in the See Schools, page 8

relative proximity of all of these on the campus…there could be real advantage to Duke to seeking to bring together resources from all parts of the University around intellectual problems,” said Provost Peter lange, who was on the committee that issued the 1988 report—an associate professor of political science at the time. Some of the interdisciplinary growth at Duke came through natural collaboration between faculty members in an open intellectual environment. Fields such as political science and economics were beginning to bleed into each other, creating a natural opportunity for cross-disciplinary activity, said lange. The cross-disciplinary activity which Duke’s collaborative environment has fostered is not limited to the social sciences. Dr. David epstein, Joseph A.C. Wadsworth clinical professor and chairman of the Department of ophthalmology at Duke eye Center, explained that Duke’s collaborative environment has allowed him to make breakthrough discoveries and lay the groundwork for a clinical startup. epstein’s work with eric Toone, leader of the innovation and entrepreneurship initiative, led to promising new glaucoma drugs which were the foundation for Aerie Pharmaceuticals, a company founded by Toone and epstein in 2005. The company went public last october, raising $60 million in capital. “The biggest lesson is the value of interdisciplinary science at Duke,” epstein previously told The Chronicle. “it never would have happened anywhere else except at a university where you can mix undergrads and graduate programs across different schools.” epstein specifically singled out Duke’s open intellectual environment as key to his collaborations. “There are places where people do not want to collaborate because they think people will steal their ideas, where a professor of chemistry could care less about ophthalmology,” epstein said. “The culture that we’ve got here—that we’d better not lose—is really unique.” it was not until the late nineties, however, that Duke began to make a concentrated push toward becoming an interdisciplinary university. Strategic plans approved by the faculty and the Board of Trustees in 1994, 2001, 2006, and 2010 all emphasized the role of interdisciplinary programs. in 1993, the office of Vice Provost for interdisciplinary Affairs was created, and in 1998, the position was made full-time. “Most of our peers do not have full time positions for a Vice Provost for interdisciplinary Studies,” said Vice Provost for interdisciplinary Studies Susan roth. “So that’s an important structural thing. You’ve got someone who’s in a position of some authority whose full time job is to focus on interdisciplinary studies. That makes a huge difference.“ in 1999, Duke began to build a structure to accom-

modate interdisciplinary programs at a higher level with the creation of University-wide institutes. Beginning with the John hope Franklin humanities institute—established to focus on interdisciplinary research involving the humanities—seven institutes dealing with subjects ranging from social science to genomics were created over the next ten years. This was the beginning of a larger structural shift in the university that would put less emphasis on traditional academic departments and focus more on interdisciplinary institutes as the future of education and research.

Timeline Over the past two and a half decades, the role of interdisciplinarity at Duke has increased and diversified. >> In 1988, the University publishes “Crossing Boundaries: Interdisciplinary Planning for the Nineties,” a report examining interdisciplinary efforts at Duke. >> In 1993, the Office of Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Affairs is established. In 1998, a fulltime position emerged from the office. >> In 1999, the first University-wide interdisciplinary institute—the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute —is established. >> In 2013, the Bass Connections program is created to support interdisciplinary problem solving and research. >> In 2014, the Institute of Genome Sciences & Policy will be dismantled into separate units—the first of Duke’s seven interdisciplinary institutes to change form in such a way.

A foot in two worlds While Duke’s institutes are on the same level as other academic departments, they do not function in the same way, especially when it comes to hiring. rather than using the standard model of a tenure track in the department, institutes get most of their faculty from

joint appointments with traditional departments. Joint hires “spend half their time in the institute and half their time in their school,” roth said. “it’s been an incredibly successful program in terms of the kind of faculty we’ve been able to draw to Duke because they have an intellectual community that is broader than their discipline or their department and it’s incredibly intellectually stimulating.” This method of hiring faculty provides benefits for both academic departments and institutes. The departments have another group sharing some of the cost of the new hire, while institutes get high-profile faculty in their organization. “We help to recruit faculty who are outstanding, who are invigorated by the intellectual atmosphere of an interdisciplinary institute,” said Michael Platt, Duke institute for Brain Sciences Director, noting that the institute has helped to hire or retain approximately 20 faculty. “And then we help to bring resources to the table to help departments make hires that they would not have been able to make. in some cases we do the same for retaining faculty.” overall, there are currently approximately 100 joint appointments across all the institutes at the University, roth noted. There are also around 500 faculty with some involvement in the institutes, explained hallie Knuffman, director of administration and program development for Duke’s Bass Connections. Multiple traditional departments can also make joint appointments between themselves. A stable tension Joint appointments are also one of the main sources of friction between traditional departments and Duke’s interdisciplinary structure. Faculty members who are working both in a department and an institute are only able to spend part of their time in either organization. “A lot of people are overcommitted,” said Michael Munger, professor of political science, economics, and public policy and the director of the Philosophy, Politics and ethics program. “it means that some of what you would have if we didn’t have so many interdisciplinary commitments we’re giving up. The benefit is that there’s a lot more diversity for students and graduate students to choose from.” Tensions in departments can also occur when professors on joint appointment and professors committed only to the department have differing visions of the work that the department should be doing. Departments may have an incentive to hire faculty who they would not otherwise hire because an institute will share the burden of paying the faculty member’s salary. “it may distort and push the departments in ways they don’t particularly want to go,” said Michael Gillespie, professor of political science and philosophy. “They’re able to hire more people than they might have, but they

The Chronicle have some of their core areas that haven’t been covered.” Lange points out that when academic departments and institutes are forced to interact, there are bound to be tensions. He compared the current structure of the University to a matrix, with rows of traditional departments intersecting with columns of interdisciplinary institutes and many faculty members sitting at the junctures between rows and columns. “If you learn anything about matrix systems, there’s always tension,” Lange said. “In fact, if the tension goes away, then either the rows have beaten the columns or the columns have beaten the rows, because the tension is inherent in the system. And you’ve just got to live with it, work with, it recognize it, remove the obstacles where you can, but there’s always going to be tension.” Duke has taken some steps to ease this inherent tension. Perhaps most significantly, the University has changed the way that research grant money is divided up. Lange explained that grants generally give money not only for research but administrative costs. Before, this administrative money would go to an academic department, incentivizing departments to secure grants only for themselves. Now, administrative money goes to the school or college which contains the department, making it easier for researchers to collaborate across departments or institutes. Platt also praised this model for handling grant money. “That’s a really nice model because it ensures that there’s no competition between departments and institutes,” he said. “I think that’s really, really important because if we were competing over those dollars then there would be some tension.” That does not mean that funding tensions don’t exist. Gillespie noted that although Duke’s interdisciplinary programs deliver benefits, they can cost traditional departments—not just in terms of faculty resources but financially as well. “Basically the Provost puts a tax on all the departments and all the divisions and they pay money and then he puts money back into institutes, so it’s a topdown kind of decision making,” Gillespie said. Of course, friction will become more apparent as interdisciplinary research and curriculum becomes more and more central to Duke. Munger expressed serious

reservations about attempts to move away from a system where interdisciplinary units are tightly linked to traditional departments. “Here’s the thing—I don’t want interdisciplinary programs hiring their own faculty. I want the faculty to come from the departments and then have an affiliation with the interdisciplinary program,” Munger said. “If they passed the hiring test of a traditional department and in addition the interdisciplinary program wants them, I think that’s the model Duke has had a special genius for.” Ahead of the pack As Roth noted, Duke’s peer institutions—including Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago—do not appear to have an office at the level of the Vice Provost or higher solely focusing on interdisciplinary activities. Duke’s institute structure, University-wide and independent of departments, similarly appears to be unique. But with interdisciplinary research becoming more common, a number of peer institutions include some sort of structure for interdisciplinary work. “Research, including the job of involving undergraduates in that research, drives a lot of the crossing of disciplines,” said Rob Nelson, executive director of education and academic planning at the University of Pennsylvania. At both Penn and Harvard, interdisciplinary structures and organizations are created on an as-needed basis to accommodate research initiatives driven by faculty. The effects on undergraduate education or the overall structure of the university are indirect at best. Harvard has a number of programs and centers which handle interdisciplinary activities, but all of them are subsumed within other schools or departments “I think they fill a distinct need, but they fit very comfortably alongside the role of departments and schools,” said Kathleen Buckley, associate provost for science and director of academic affairs for interdisciplinary science at Harvard.

disciplinary programs are likely to become a more integral part of Duke, both from a teaching perspective and a research perspective. One big step towards this integration is Bass Connections, which was funded by a $50 million dollar gift from Anne and Robert Bass. Bass Connections programs, which were first run in Fall 2013, bring real world topics into classrooms and are integrated both horizontally between disciplines and vertically across different levels of students and faculty. Instead of having standard graduate or undergraduate courses, Bass Connections programs create teams consisting of graduate students, undergraduate students and faculty across different disciplines. These teams work on a number of different research projects related to a central topic and also take classes which involve knowledge from multiple disciplines. Steven Blaser, Trinity ‘14, who participated in the Public Access to Government Information program, explained that his program is very different from any other kind of class he’s taken before “At the base it’s different because you take very few classes that have undergraduates and graduates,” Blaser said. “Getting their perspectives on certain things that you guys are crafting as a group is invaluable and it’s really something you can’t get in many other areas of the university.” Blaser said that in many ways, the program resembled a combination of independent research project and real world problem solving task force. “You’re actually coming up with this information and then you’re presenting it to people that are actually relevant stakeholders,” Blaser said. “It might be an extended research project but it gets that practical component that I think really broadens what you’re able to do.” Junior Christopher Zhang, a member of the Racial and Educational Inequality as a Consequence of Family Structure: Learning from Shotgun Marriages program echoed Blaser’s statement. “It’s definitely very different from sitting in a huge lecture room where you barely have the opportunity to engage with the instructors,” Zhang said. “We not only learn from our professors, but we also learn from our See transition, page 8

Blue Devils go for gold at NCAA Championships Eight Duke athletes will compete in Eugene, Ore., for a national title by Ali Wells The ChroniCle

Chasing another title in her final races in a Duke uniform, national championship veteran Juliet Bottorff leads seven other Blue Devils into their first nCAA Championships. Duke qualified for the national championships in four individual events and a relay, setting itself up for a strong close to the outdoor season in eugene, ore. with four days of national-championship competition beginning Wednesday. Bottorff qualified for the national championships in both distance events at the nCAA east regional Preliminary round two weeks ago. running the 10,000 meters at a comfortable pace, she finished in 33:55.49 and enters the event Thursday seeded sixth. “i feel like she’s most excited about this national championship, even more so than the two previous,” associate coach Kevin Jermyn said. “She feels like she’s in the best physical fitness and racing mindset she’s ever been in. We’re excited for the opportunity and feel really confident she’s ready to go out there and push herself to a level she’s never been before.” no stranger to success at the national level, Bottorff—the 10,000 meter nCAA outdoor Champion in 2011—has re-

Duke signs four recruits, bolsters Class of 2015 by Brian Mazur The ChroniCle

Months after signing the most talented recruiting class in the Cutcliffe era, the Duke coaching staff has already began reeling in a number of recruits for the Class of 2015. The Blue Devils received four verbal commitments during the past month after a slow start on the recruiting trail. The biggest splash made by the Duke recruiting staff was the commitment of offensive lineman and California native reno rosene, who rivals has ranked as a four-star prospect. rosene also held offers from a number of top programs. if his commitment holds until signing day, rosene will become an important player in replacing senior offensive linemen laken Tomlinson and Takoby Cofield.

rosene’s signing did not overshadow other good news for the Duke football program. The Blue Devils inked verbal commitments from a trio of three star prospects: dual-threat quarterback Quentin harris of Watertown, Conn., linebacker Joe Giles-harris of Montvale, n.J. and wide receiver Flynn nagel of Chicago, ill. harris will join a long line of talented quarterbacks playing under quarterback guru David Cutcliffe, but his signing affirms the coaching staff’s desire to put dual-threat quarterbacks under center in future seasons. expect harris to redshirt his first year as a quarterback competition unfolds in early 2015, as Thomas Sirk, Parker Boehme and nicodem Pierre will battle for the starting spot that Anthony Boone will vacate at the

end of this season. Giles-harris is a solid linebacker who is ranked as the no. 19 player in new Jersey by 247sports.com and will help fill the void that senior linebackers Kelby Brown and David helton leave when they graduate after the 2014 season. he committed to Duke instead of Boston College, West Virginia, illinois and Cincinnati. nagel is Duke’s most recent commitment and jumped at his first official offer from any school earlier this week during a visit in Durham. he is the 62nd ranked wide receiver in the nation according the 247sports.com. The recent commitments bring the Blue Devil’s total 2015 commitments to seven, as three-star defensive lineman Brandon Boyce and Zach Morris commit-

ted in late 2013, and safety Jordan hayes committed to Duke earlier this year. According to rivals.com, the Blue Devils currently hold the nation’s 33rd best recruiting class, notably ahead of oregon, Stanford and Michigan State. Duke can make another huge jump in the rankings, as it has an outside chance at four-star safety rashad roundtree. The evans, Ga., native recently delayed announcing his top five schools, but assured WJBF that Duke would be on it. The Blue Devils will face an uphill battle for roundtree’s signature, as the rising high school senior also holds offers from Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and Clemson. The commitments and news of roundtree’s high interest in Duke comes as the Blue Devils hosted a number of prospects at a camp in the past week.

Atkinson qualified for the first national championship meet of his Blue Devil career in Jacksonville, Fla., crossing the line in 29:57.49 to earn the 10th out of 12 possible spots. The senior hopes to finish his final race for Duke earning All-America honors before heading to Tampa, Fla., for medical school at the University of South Florida. “Brian can cement his legacy at Duke forever with an All-America performance at nationals,” director of track and field norm ogilvie said. “it’s certainly not a low bar… Probably the key for Brian has been durability. i think we’ve had quite a few guys at Duke who would say, ‘i’m willing to run a 100 miles a week to get better,’ but not everyone can do it.” redshirt sophomore Thomas lang also qualified for his first nCAA Championships with a top-12 performance in the javelin at the east regional meet. earning fourth two weeks ago with a mark of 227 feet, lang enters this weekend’s meet as the no. 10 seed. riding a wave of personal bests this season following time off for elbow surgery, he hopes to throw for another personal record and earn points for the Blue Devils.

take advantage of 81 years of dance Each summer, for seven weeks, Durham plays host to some of the best-established dance troupes in the country. Since 1934, the American Dance Festival has brought dancers, choreographers and educators to the

Editorial city to showcase the past, present and future of American dance. The festival highlights professional performances, dance workshops and community outreach. This cultural festival is a fantastic opportunity for Duke and Durham to come together to appreciate the art of dance. Yet, the festival is often overlooked during the busy months of summer. For many students on campus, the summer is a time to catch up on tough classes they need for the year. Breaking from the dedication to Organic Chemistry or Calculus II can seem like a distraction from the goals of summer classes, but, when students decide to take time to appreciate dance, they engage with their communities in entirely new ways.

The pluralistic values championed by LGBTQ advocates, which affirm everyone’s right to live peacefully and without fear of an attack of their identity, is categorically opposed to the kinds of attacks you carried out in your last piece.

or the past two weeks, I’ve been in France, the birthplace of the famous—or infamous— slogan: liberté, égalité, fraternité. Given that I’ve been beset on all sides by it, I can’t help but think about the particular accomplishments of the period of history during which the motto was born. Between the French Revolution and ours, the late eighteenth century saw what were some of the most radical experiments in applied political philosophy in the history of the human race. Crucially, it was the first time individual human rights were truly championed. Though rights aren’t the last word on political philosophy, they

Art is an integral connection among people, and the festival provides an avenue by which students can appreciate some of the most innovative dance in the nation. The festival defines its mission as “to encourage and support the creation and presentation of new modern dance work by both established and emerging choreographers, to preserve our modern dance heritage through continued presentation of classic works as well as through archival efforts, to build wider national and international audiences for modern dance, to enhance public understanding and appreciation of the art form and its cultural and historical significance, to provide a sound scientific and aesthetic base for professional education and training of young dancers and to maintain a forum for integrating and disseminating information on dance education.” To attain this goal of bridging dance appreciation between the professionals and the Duke and Durham communities, the American Dance Festival offers a variety of discounts to appeal to almost every audience. Duke students can receive half price tickets and

many of the performances are in on-campus venues. With the convenience of on-campus venues and discounted tickets, it could not be any easier for Duke students to engage with the culture of the festival, yet very few students take advantage of the opportunity. With such an amazing opportunity so conveniently centered around Duke’s campus, more students should take advantage of the chance to play audience to the dance performances. So, if you are here for the summer, check out the festival. There is something that appeals to everyone. Performances in Reynolds Theater begin June 14 and last though July 26. So, go to a performance and experience the culture that the festival brings. It is an experience entirely unique to Durham, so do not let the struggle of summer classes or research labs overshadow the opportunity to experience the festival.

American rights than the rights of non-Americans? If we really follow the logic of universality to its end, whatever rights we think Americans should have simply by virtue of being humans should be extended to non-Americans. But we hardly hold ourselves as responsible for the protection of nonAmericans’ rights as we do for the protection of Americans’. At the very least, we should have some well-thought-out reason why this should be the case. Another overlooked extension of the universality of rights is to animal rights. Even if we ultimately decide that animal rights don’t matter to any appreciable degree (which I personally

Eugene Rabinovich are we there yet?

capture some of the features that are essential to the way we think about ethics now. Perhaps the most relevant of these features is universality—in the French and American revolutionary contexts, rights applied to all men equally. The language is familiar to everybody: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” There are enough nuances in this one sentence to engage an entire nation in debate for several centuries, but what is essential here is the idea that one person’s interests matter in the same way another’s do. In other words, humans are similar in a fundamental enough way that each person’s rights demand equal protection. Admittedly, when the founding fathers said “all men,” they really meant “all white men,” and, though there was a lot of debate about the subject, our founding documents ironically excluded an entire race of people while simultaneously claiming the rights enumerated within to be universal. But the principle of universality was there from the outset, and some of the greatest strides in our collective ethical consciousness have essentially been in fulfilling the true demands of universality. Race and sex, for example, are two frontiers to which universality has been extended. It seems reasonable to ask, therefore, to what extent we have carried out this universality to its logical conclusion. As I said above, we’ve definitely realized that race and sex aren’t reasons to deny rights, and it seems that (I’m painting in rather broad brush strokes here) sexuality is the next forum for such a debate. But there are a few questions that, for some reason, don’t get enough attention. First of all, why are we more interested in the protection of

don’t believe), the question of animal rights has been brushed almost entirely under the rug in our ethical discussion. This probably happens because we focus on supposedly fundamental differences between animals and humans while remaining in the dark about the things that make us similar. Indeed, a lot of the things that make human suffering worth caring about and, therefore, justify the need for human rights also apply to the case of animal suffering and animal rights. We haven’t really given these thoughts full consideration, though, and the matter remains largely ignored in our collective ethical consciousness. The common theme that seems to emerge from both the history of universality and thoughts about its future is that we’re often tempted to exclude a group from the language of rights based on some perceived difference between “us” and “them.” On the contrary, we often remain blind to the similarities between “us” and “them” that would give us reason to include rather than to exclude. Granted, to really begin to discuss these matters, we need to sort out the many nuances that surround the concept of rights, but the goal here is not to answer questions. Instead, I just wanted to point out that the great accomplishment of the idea of human rights—namely, the acknowledgement of the moral importance of every human—provides fertile soil for discussions of the future of ethics. Indeed, some of the most pressing ethical issues can be construed as debates over our proper understanding of the universality of rights. The road ahead is definitely a long one, but we’ll never be able to have “liberty and justice for all” until we figure out what we mean when we say “for all.” Eugene Rabinovich is a Trinity senior.

A letter to my dad on Father’s Day

ear Dad, On this momentous occasion of my last Father’s Day living at home full-time (let’s hope), I wanted to take some time to recognize everything you haven’t done for me as a father over the years. And, no, this isn’t some angsty, eleventhhour confession of pent-up anger from a bratty 18-year-old thinking too highly of herself; however, I have come to a realization, through the Father’s Day cards I have filled out for you in my eighteen years, that I would like to share with you in my final column for this summer. The notes I write on Hallmark Father’s Day cards

thinking about why I am thankful for you, Dad. You have not pressured me to be high-achieving in school or sports and never forced me to quit or join certain activities. You have only made sure I did my homework, didn’t waste away watching too much television and tried my best in everything I did. You have not bought yourself Billy Joel tickets or a new pair of running sneakers so that you could buy 14-year-old me Taylor Swift tickets or 18-year-old me Nike Free Runs. You have not protected me from my mistakes so that I could learn some lessons for myself—although I wish someone had told me straight-across bangs are not as cute on a sixth-grader as they are on a 3-year-old.

Failure

may be capable of appreciating the occasional Impressionist landscape or a well-preserved Grecian urn in an art museum, but I am far from a Renaissance man. When entrusted with an electric skillet and kitchen knife, I make quesadillas and omelets, patting myself on the back heartily if I can manage to give my creation just the right shade of brown. My favorite iTunes playlist consists of an embarrassingly predictable mix of Billboard Hot 100 hits and a Bob Marley-MGMT medley foisted upon me by a cultured friend after I asked her what was playing on WXDU one time too many. One of my few areas of expertise is swimming, something I had to cut out of

each year are sincere but, sadly, fairly standard. “Dear Dad,” I scribble on the card in the kitchen while you sit in the family room/in the back seat of the car on the way to a celebratory dinner (regardless of the circumstances, I have left filling out your card until the last minute). “Happy Father’s Day,” the next line inevitably reads. “I love you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me.” I then go on to make a lengthy, yet incomplete, list of the various chores you have done, gifts you have given and games and events of mine that you had attended within the year. “I appreciate it all, even though I don’t tell you enough.” My sentiments are genuine and my appreciation is real, but I tend to focus only on what you as a father have done for me. Yes, I wholly appreciate you making dinners when mom isn’t home, paying bills and rescuing four-year-old me screaming in the tub because, “I have soap in my eye!” But what about the things you have not done, and the words you have not spoken, that have made a real difference in my life? In my twelve years of Catholic education, I did manage to learn a thing or two about other religions, including Hinduism, which teaches satyagraha, a principle that is roughly defined as “passive action.” My understanding of satyagraha—have pity on me, Middle Eastern Studies majors—is that purposeful passivity can have meaning, that consciously doing nothing can have profound effects. I couldn’t help but think of satyagraha when

And, best of all, you have not, as you claim, forced preferences for any sports team on me. (For reference, readers, note the baby pictures in which I am wearing a New York Yankees onesie, a photo of myself at Yankee Stadium before I was old enough to pronounce the word “Steinbrenner” and the fact that our family’s copy of the 2003 World Series has gone mysteriously unwatched.) Surely, I made the $1 bet with one of the Mets fans in my fourth grade class over the Subway Series out of my pure, unaffected, self-established love for the most hated team in baseball. I’ll probably never know just how much you have not done for me over the years because, by their nature, these inactions are practically immeasurable. I can only tell that the sum of all your actions and inactions has produced a daughter who is happy and healthy and who loves the New York Yankees. So, Dad, I hope this letter expresses my gratitude for you better than did my notes on Father’s Day cards of years past—although, in the future, I will probably still fill out cards two minutes before you open them. Sorry. Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Celebrate with a plate of food, a beer and a comfy recliner—or, as you might define it, your own satyagraha. Love, Mary

my routine recently thanks to a 15-foot fall onto hardpacked snow resulting in a back injury. Ski jumping is apparently not my forte either. Perhaps due to my misadventures in the art, culinary, music and skiing worlds, I consciously avoid claiming mastery over something I have not spent several years doing. For instance, I will enthusiastically call myself a good cook…of bachelor food. I am good at skiing…for an uncoordinated Southerner. To me, excellence and enjoyment seem to come hand in hand. A deficit of one mandated a corresponding lack of another. This theory was confirmed during my time volunteering at the Center for Advanced Hindsight, a behavioral economics lab focused on the myriad causes of human irrationality. One such project dealt with perceived mastery. According to my supervisor’s hypothesis, people enjoy an activity less if they consider themselves unfamiliar with it. One instance of this tendency we observed involved subjects sampling tea after taking a quiz they believed would reveal their level of expertise with the beverage. In reality, however, the results were random; no matter how many boxes of Earl Grey subjects had stored in their cupboard back home, half the participants were christened gods of tea and half were deemed more incompetent at understanding its subtleties than Panda Express workers at serving slugfree vegetables. After being praised or damned, tasters tried a number of teas and rated them for quality. The effects of this categorization were significant. Simply being told by the final page of a digital survey that they had “mastery” of tea tasting caused people to rate the quality of the tea significantly higher than those who were told they did not. Feeling well-versed in something is just as important as being that way. What happens when someone cannot claim competence at nearly anything, though? Over the course of the past three weeks, I have found the answer. Arriving in Berlin nearly three weeks ago to take summer classes, I suddenly became the epitome of incompetence. After spending half the plane ride learning how to count to 10 and order a beer (“Ein Bier, bitte,” in case you were wondering), I realized I had neglected more practical phrases such as, “Can you say that in English?” and “Where can I get free WiFi?” Without so much as a clearly established street grid, let alone a phone with Google Maps installed, to guide me through the city, I have spent more time wandering unfamiliar neighborhoods than ever before. I cannot even dress properly—my collection of t-shirts is now the laughingstock of the city’s bouncers as they turn me away in order to admit another horde of skinny jean and undercut-sporting Europeans. To quote this column’s tagline, the struggle has only intensified since my move to this side of the Atlantic. In spite of these misadventures, however, I have realized failure is best dealt with in the same way as success: with both humor and dignity. Had I simply stopped buying groceries at the corner market after mixing up the words for “lettuce” and “cabbage” and walking home with the wrong vegetable, I would have been on a strict diet of frozen pizza and Starbucks for the next month. Inability to cope with failure is tantamount to unwillingness to challenge oneself, and we are all far too young and capable to feel anything of the sort. So, next time you commit a pratfall, whether in a foreign nation or your own home, laugh at yourself and move on. You’ll be one step closer to mastery. Tom Vosburgh is a Trinity junior. This is his final column in a biweekly series during the summer.

team members.” Zhang said he believed that Bass Connections were an extremely valuable research opportunity for undergraduates. “It’s a very precious opportunity for undergrad students to get real firsthand research experience which they normally don’t have the opportunity to have,” Zhang said. “You can really learn a lot from doing actual research. You’re not just reading the literature. You’re actually doing something. You’re making a difference.” Duke administrators make no secret of their goals to expand Bass Connections and to use it to transform the University. “I think what we hope for is that it’s not just going to be a program that sits apart in some way, like DukeEngage, that it really is going to influence how things routinely get done around the University,” Roth said. “So we have big ambitions.” The Bass Connections program has expanded quickly, with 37 project teams operating during the 2013-4 school year and 41 more taking applications for the 2014-15 school year. Demand for the program has exceeded expectations, according to Knuffman. Lange added that the impact of Bass Connections will be especially felt by students. “I think curricularly—assuming Bass Connections succeeds—that’s going to leave a real mark on the learning experience of our students because it’s really going to bring the departmental or disciplinary learning together with interdisciplinary learning, it’s going to link what students learn in the classroom in a disciplined way to research projects,”

Taking the next step The future of interdisciplinary beyond Bass Connections is also unclear. Currently, the program is main focus of Duke’s interdisciplinary administrative establishment. “I couldn’t say what’s after that because we plan on really pushing this very hard for a long time,” Roth said. “We feel like it is an opportunity to do something transformative.” The future of the institute structure offers flexibility, as well. Each institute undergoes regular administrative reviews, and last year’s review of the Institute of Genome Sciences & Policy led to the decision to dismantle the institute into three units. But interdisciplinarity is valuable no matter the form, administrators noted. “Our interdisciplinary commitment, our global commitment, our knowledge in the service of society commitment and also the notion of engagement, both of faculty and of students, are qualities that have given Duke a really distinctive identity, even among our peers, and that’s an important thing to have,” Lange said. “We don’t want to just be copies, whether inferior or superior copies, and that we derive a lot of value from that.” How the tensions in this transition are resolved is the major question left to be answered. Answering that question will take time and a willingness from everyone involved to expect and handle problems as they come up. “These things take time. You don’t do it overnight, you don’t do it with one flashy appointment, you don’t do it with a single gift. There’s a lot of work,” Lange said. “That’s the way a great university is built, over long periods of time.”

teams to achieve improvement in network security measures, Richard Biever, the University’s chief information security officer and director of identity management, wrote in an email Wednesday. The improved security measures will protect Duke from external attacks as well as detect attacks originating from compromised computers on the Duke network—such as infected laptops in the University system that connect to the visitor wireless network. “Just like other higher education institutions, Duke constantly evaluates our security posture and tools to make sure that we are adjusting to the changing threat landscape and protecting Duke appropriately,” Biever said. The goal of this upgrade is to support the University’s overall aims in education and research. “[The project] is all part of ongoing efforts to ensure that Duke’s IT infrastructure is positioned to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth needs and security concerns in support of Duke’s research and educational mission,” he said. In addition to upgrading the University’s network, the office also recently improved the coverage of wired and wireless network on campus, including increasing network connectivity and spreading Wi-Fi coverage. “We are beginning work on outdoor Wi-Fi, with Duke Gardens coverage completed in late May,” Johnson wrote. Members of the University were warned that brief interruptions of 10 to 15 seconds could occur in IT services during the operation, which primarily occurred June 10 and 11.

region—prior to his current position, he had served as the assistant superintendent of instructional services for DPS and as the superintendent for neighboring Franklin County Public Schools. He has also worked as a special education teacher and as an elementary school principal. “I know the Durham parents and I know what they dream for their children. Knowing that they are as determined as I am to teach them is a huge help. No matter where the children are, they need the skills to be successful in life,” said L’Homme. Among his many goals, L’Homme said that early childhood literacy was the most important. “In order to excel in a number of other subjects, they need to know how to read, said L’Homme. “[The children] have to start early. Early literacy is critically important. None of the other skills are possible if this isn’t met.” Alongside literacy, math will also be a strong area of focus for L’Homme. Strengthening these core concepts can lead to an increase in a student’s preparation for the future, he added. Tom Burnford, secretary for education for the Archdiocese of Washington, noted that L’Homme’s skill set transcends the difference between public and private schooling. “[L’Homme] was a tremendous leader and brings experience, professionalism and at the same time a passion towards the student,” Burnford said. L’Homme’s contract is worth $225,000 a year and begins July 14, lasting through June 2018. He noted that one of the unique aspects of public school leadership is the breadth of responsibility he now has. “The biggest shift [from private school to public school], and the one that I look forward to, is that no matter who comes to the front door, we’re responsible for their education,” L’Homme said. “The responsibility is enormous. Durham parents can expect to bring their children to schools in their neighborhood and have them receive world-class education.” Mary Jones, a Durham resident and parent of students attending a DPS elementary school, said she is looking forward to the new superintendent. “I’ve met with him previously at school meetings, and he seems kind, focused and determined to bring our students world-class education,” she said.
