A New Chancellor:
ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH YEAR, ISSUE 61
Dr. A. Eugene Washington was selected from candidates across the nation to fill Dzau’s shoes
“Gene will be a great integrator of the clinical and academic missions,” says Provost Sally Kornbluth Emma Baccellieri & Gautam Hathi News Editor & Health & Science Editor
Dr. A. Eugene Washington has been selected as the next chancellor for health affairs and president and CEO of Duke University Health System after a nine-month search to fill the position. Washington comes from the University of California at Los Angeles, where he has been the dean of the David Geffen School of Medicine and vice chancellor of health sciences since February 2010. He is also a widely published researcher, a noted health policy scholar and a professor of gynecology. When Washington assumes the position in April, he will replace Dr. Victor Dzau, who stepped down as chancellor in June to head the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences. In looking for Dzau’s successor, the Washington search committee focused on finding someone who could manage the different needs of DUHS in terms of research, education and clinical practice alike, said University Secretary Richard Riddell, an ex officio member of See Washington on Page 3

dium. After dropping consecutive regularseason games for the first time since Feb. 15, 2009, head coach Mike Krzyzewski said his team’s confidence has taken a major hit since cruising to an impressive 14-0 start. “We didn’t just lose tonight—we got our butt beat,” Krzyzewski said. “I just have felt since Christmas that there’s something missing with our group that we have.... I haven’t been able to figure out how to change it.” Redshirt junior Angel Rodriguez was a defensive nightmare for the Blue Devils (14-2, 2-2 in the ACC), scoring a game-high 24 points, including 15 in the second half. “Our defense has been non-existent for

two games,” Krzyzewski said. “Rodriguez was sensational. He not only scored—he just controlled the game. That’s one of the best performances that I’ve seen in Cameron from an opposing player.” Rodriguez led a Miami backcourt that combined for 33 of the team’s 56 secondhalf points. Reserve guard Manu Lecomte added 23 points, dropping in three of his four attempts from behind the arc. The Hurricanes (12-4, 2-1) played at gale force after trailing 35-34 at the half, using 9-0 and 10-0 runs in the first 8:32 of the second half to open a commanding doubledigit lead.

long, causing major issues for the Blue Devils as they tried to defend ball-screens. Duke’s decision to switch on high screens often left freshman center Jahlil Okafor and junior forward Amile Jefferson isolated on Rodriguez, Lecomte and freshman guard Ja’Quan Newton, who blew by their larger defenders en route to easy buckets. Even when switches were picked up by the Blue Devils’ more athletic guards and wings, they seemed to be a step behind. Okafor and Jefferson each posted double-doubles for Duke, combining for 29 points and 27 rebounds on the evening.

Kunshan student ambassadors talk goals for campus During the first semester at Duke Kunshan University, a group of students formed the Kunshan Student Ambassador Council, administering two surveys to the student population of DKU and issuing an action proposal to enhance the experience of studying in Kunshan. Hwee Min Lo, DKU-KSAC’s founding graduate co-chair, is in Kunshan working to complete a one-year graduate program in global health. Fellow founding member or DKU-KSAC, Quang Do, returned to Duke’s campus after studying in Kunshan during the inaugural Fall semester. The Chronicle’s Carleigh Stiehm interviewed these two founding members to discuss the goals of DKU-KSAC and their time on the new campus.
Q & A
The Chronicle: What should students know about DKU-KSAC? Hwee Min Lo: The mission of DKU-KSAC is to represent DKU to the outside world, our representative countries and universities. Our involvement at DKU includes promoting DKU’s value and development as an institution, representing DKU as a studentdriven foreign arm of the DKU leadership, in hosting delegates coming to DKU, collaborating with Duke KSAC to share their advice and knowledge on issues pertaining to DKU and providing feedback to administration and forums outside of DKU. Quang Do: DKU-KSAC is a committee representing the viewpoints and interests of students at DKU. Currently, the focus of
DKU-KSAC is to work hand in hand with Duke KSAC and provide advice to DKU administration in order to help guide the development of DKU experience. DKU-KSAC represents students on several aspects, including academic, student welfare, social life, etc. Together with Duke KSAC, in the future, DKU-KSAC will continue the effort to integrate the two campuses. TC: Why do you think it was important that it was founded? QD: Because DKU is a brand-new campus. It means that there are a lot of areas that need to be worked and improved on. And DKU officials are very interested in student insight and experience. With a diverse body, DKU-KSAC represents the student voice on many issues and make suggestions that are acted on by the administration. DKU-KSAC helps to make sure that the experience that each student would take away at the end of the semester is at its best. TC: Do you think there are any possible challenges to running a democratic student organization while in a non-democratic country? HML: I think all kinds of challenges do exist, not only within a non-democratic country, but even among students who come from countries with different concept of democracy. This is often led by how we view democracy. To some, it is the freedom of speech, while to others, it is to listen to the majority. I think the challenge to running a democratic student organization is challenging anywhere. Democracy is a fluid but sensitive concept, and while being in China, we are just conscious of certain student’s perspective and needs,

committee itself. TC: As a student at DKU, what was the biggest challenge that you faced? QD: As a student from Duke to DKU, the biggest challenge for me was the social atmosphere at DKU. By that, I mean, how active students were in terms of creating and participating in school events. Surely compared to Duke, there were not many student organizations and activities, and I pretty much enjoy this at Duke. However, I saw that as an opportunity to create some new experiences. I and some other students work together to create student organizations, student activities, etc. This made my pioneering experience rewarding.
Students interested in running for Editor of The Chronicle (2015-16 school year) should submit a resumé and a two-page essay on goals for the organization to the Board of Directors of the Duke Student Publishing Co., Inc. Applications should be submitted to: 301 Flowers Building Attention: Carleigh Stiehm Editor, The Chronicle Deadline for application is Friday, January 16, 2015 at 5 p.m.

the search committee. “You have healthcare, the education and training of medical students, faculty research.… So [the committee desired] someone who had demonstrated ability in bringing all that together to align into a vision for the organization, and Gene Washington had done that,” Riddell said. The University’s announcement Tuesday came after a nine-month search that began with more than 250 candidates from across the nation and around the world. The committee had narrowed the pool to a group of finalists by December 2014 before selecting Washington, whose appointment was approved by President Richard Brodhead, the Board of Trustees and the DUHS Board of Directors. “We were fortunate to have such a strong field of candidates,” Riddell said. “I don’t think the committee could be happier.” In the months since Dzau’s departure, the clinical and financial parts of the role have been split from the education and research components. Dr. Nancy Andrews, dean of the School of Medicine, has assumed the latter, and Dr. William Fulkerson, vice president of DUHS, the former. “Nancy and Bill have had a great partnership and made things work, but they both have significant responsibilities in their own arenas,” Provost Sally Kornbluth said. “Gene will be a great integrator of the clinical and academic missions.... The three of them will work together really well as a team.” Andrews expressed her support for Washington Tuesday, saying that she has known him for several years and thinks him an “outstanding choice” for the position. Fulkerson could not immediately be reached for comment. “I feel honored and privileged to assume

this key leadership role, and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to realize our full potential,” Washington said in a statement to Duke News. “Duke is uniquely positioned among the very top health sciences institutions to take advantage of the opportunities available.” Washington assumes the position during a time of change for the world of healthcare— leading DUHS through developments with the Affordable Healthcare Act on the clinical side and handling diminishing federal funding on the research side. “He’s going to be a key determinant in how Duke navigates that changing healthcare landscape,” Kornbluth said. “These are problems not just at Duke but on a national landscape in academic medicine.” Washington’s resume is highly decorated, with several awards, including most recently the David E. Rogers Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for his “major contributions to improving the health and health care of the American people.” Before joining UCLA, Washington was the executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of California at San Francisco. He graduated from the UCSF School of Medicine in 1976 and received his undergraduate degree from Howard University. Washington has large shoes to fill—Dzau was widely praised during his decade in the position, establishing the Duke Cancer Institute, the Duke Translational Medicine Institute and a system-wide electronic medical records system across DUHS. Dzau has also helped form Project Access of Durham County, a community care system that aids specialty care needs of local patients. But Dzau’s former colleagues feel Washington is up to the challenge. “Gene has a reputation as a really thoughtful, energetic leader,” Kornbluth said. “He clearly has a positive, can-do attitude.” Grace Wang contributed reporting.

DUKE’S DEFENSIVE DEBACLE Ryan Neu Staff Writer
It was the first time they had lost consecutive regular-season games since the 2008-09 campaign. It was the first time since the 1995-96 season that they lost backto-back games by double-digits. It ended a win streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium of 41 games, the longest in the nation. But maybe more importantly, for the second game in a row, what was supposed to be a much-improved defense for the Blue Devils looked gassed and outmatched against a barrage of offensive talent. Duke dropped its second straight game Tuesday night, this time 90-74 to Miami, thanks mostly to the fast-paced play of guards Angel Rodriguez and Manu Lecomte. Rodriguez led the way with 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The transfer from Kansas State added five assists, five steals and four rebounds for good measure in his first opportunity to take the floor against the Blue Devils. Lecomte had 23 points of his own with three made triples and hit free throw after free throw as the Blue Devils continually put him on the line. He knocked down 10 of his 11 attempts from the charity stripe, taking more than a third of Miami’s 30 free-throw attempts. “Rodriguez was sensational,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He not only scored but he just controlled the game.... Their whole team played well, but he really set the tone.” Rodriguez and Lecomte were not alone, however, in their dominance against the Duke defense. Fellow guard and Texas transfer Sheldon McClellan added 14 points to the tally for Miami, and center Tonye

Jekiri pitched in with a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. The junior 7-footer frustrated center Jahlil Okafor and forward Amile Jefferson in the paint and although he did not attempt many shots, he was efficient. Jekiri went 3-of-5 from the floor and dished out to his dangerous teammates whenever he could. Jekiri’s play in the paint forced more Blue Devil perimeter defenders to think about helping Jefferson and Okafor, freeing up open 3-point shots for some

Georgia Parke | The Chronicle Coupled with Sunday’s defeat at N.C. State, Tuesday’s 90-74 home loss to Miami marked the first time since 2009 that Duke has lost back-to-back ACC games, and denied the Blue Devils a bid at a third consecutive undefeated season at home.
very good long-range shooters. “Give all the credit to [Miami],” captain Quinn Cook said. “All the intangibles weren’t there [for us] for 40 minutes. We’re going to be fine. We’re going to take the hit—take all the negativity that we’re going to get and take it in stride…. They’re great players and they made plays.” Part of this lapse in defensive play could be due to the fact that Duke’s own backcourt has not been shooting well since the start of ACC play. In four conference games, Duke guards are shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor and just 35.7 percent from behind the 3-point line. The Blue Devils seem to have lost the shooting stroke that powered them to a perfect 12-0 mark earlier in the season against non-conference competition. With the youngest starting lineup since 1983, it is understandable to see some growing pains as ACC play gears up. Krzyzewski said he believes that youth may be playing a large role in both the shooting woes and defensive struggles for the young Blue Devils as they deal with their first bout of adversity as college players. “We’re not a very confident shooting team right now,” Krzyzewski said. “We’ve been giving more runouts. Part of that is missing shots.... If you give people run-outs or dunks, you give [them] a level of confidence.” The unfortunate part of playing in the toughest conference in the nation is that even when mired in a difficult stretch—such as the one in which Duke currently finds itself—there is no break against an easy opponent to regain some confidence. The Blue Devils head next to Louisville, Ky., to face off against Rick Pitino and the No. 6 Cardinals Saturday. Fixing the defense has to become the priority for this team going forward. If it can get more stops defensively, especially against a forward-heavy team like Louisville, that might be able to give them some more confidence on the offensive end. If anyone has the answers to fix these problems, it is Mike Krzyzewski, who has been through it all as a head coach. But it’s been a while since he’s been through this.

But the duo’s offensive efficiency was overshadowed by their inability to stop Miami’s guards from streaking to the rim. When Duke was unsuccessful on the offensive end, it was victimized by the Hurricanes’ torrid offensive pace. Miami pushed the ball up the court relentlessly off Blue Devil misses, leading to a number of easy fast-break opportunities in their two game-changing runs. “It only takes a fraction of a second when you’re watching and a shot is missed,” Krzyzewski said. “If you think about that missed shot, you’re not thinking about getting back.” At the end of a back-and-forth first half, Duke appeared to seize momentum heading into the locker room when a thunderous block by freshman forward Justise Winslow sparked a 5-0 run that was capped by a corner three from junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon with 1:01 remaining. That energy was quickly erased by Rodriguez and the Hurricanes when play resumed after intermission.
A new year usually symbolizes new beginnings, but 2015 has not been kind to Duke. After opening conference play with a convincing win against Boston College, the Blue Devils have watched their dominance slip away, clawing out an eightpoint win against Wake Forest before losses against N.C. State and Miami, marking the first time Duke has lost back-to-back games by double digits since 1996. “Everybody’s been praising us—we’re just so young and naive and we haven’t played with the same type of aggression and sense of urgency since Wisconsin,” senior guard Quinn Cook said after his team’s first home loss since March 3, 2012. “To hear Cameron like that is not a good feeling.” The Blue Devils’ rocky road through the ACC isn’t getting any easier. To avoid losing three consecutive games for the first time since the 2006-07 season, Duke will have have to upend No. 6 Louisville on the road in the first-ever conference matchup between the teams. “I’m really disappointed. This wasn’t the vision that we had, but this is reality,” Jefferson said. “We have to find a way to get better. We’re a good team, and we know we’re a good team, but that’s not good enough.”

Rodriguez led the way with 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The transfer from Kansas State added five assists, five steals and four rebounds for good measure in his first opportunity to take the floor against the Blue Devils. Lecomte had 23 points of his own with three made triples and hit free throw after free throw as the Blue Devils continually put him on the line. He knocked down 10 of his 11 attempts from the charity stripe, taking more than a third of Miami’s 30 free-throw attempts. “Rodriguez was sensational,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He not only scored but he just controlled the game.... Their whole team played well, but he really set the tone.” Rodriguez and Lecomte were not alone, however, in their dominance against the Duke defense. Fellow guard and Texas transfer Sheldon McClellan added 14 points to the tally for Miami, and center Tonye
Elysia Su | The Chronicle The Duke defense surrendered a season-high 90 points—56 of them after halftime—as the Hurricanes used the ball-screen to exploit the Blue Devils. Miami also got to the free-throw line 30 times.

Jekiri pitched in with a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. The junior 7-footer frustrated center Jahlil Okafor and forward Amile Jefferson in the paint and although he did not attempt many shots, he was efficient. Jekiri went 3-of-5 from the floor and dished out to his dangerous teammates whenever he could. Jekiri’s play in the paint forced more Blue Devil perimeter defenders to think about helping Jefferson and Okafor, freeing up open 3-point shots for some
Georgia Parke | The Chronicle Coupled with Sunday’s defeat at N.C. State, Tuesday’s 90-74 home loss to Miami marked the first time since 2009 that Duke has lost back-to-back ACC games, and denied the Blue Devils a bid at a third consecutive undefeated season at home.
very good long-range shooters. “Give all the credit to [Miami],” captain Quinn Cook said. “All the intangibles weren’t there [for us] for 40 minutes. We’re going to be fine. We’re going to take the hit—take all the negativity that we’re going to get and take it in stride…. They’re great players and they made plays.” Part of this lapse in defensive play could be due to the fact that Duke’s own backcourt has not been shooting well since the start of ACC play. In four conference games, Duke guards are shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor and just 35.7 percent from behind the 3-point line. The Blue Devils seem to have lost the shooting stroke that powered them to a perfect 12-0 mark earlier in the season against non-conference competition. With the youngest starting lineup since 1983, it is understandable to see some growing pains as ACC play gears up. Krzyzewski said he believes that youth may be playing a large role in both the shooting woes and defensive struggles for the young Blue Devils as they deal with their first bout of adversity as college players. “We’re not a very confident shooting team right now,” Krzyzewski said. “We’ve been giving more runouts. Part of that is missing shots.... If you give people run-outs or dunks, you give [them] a level of confidence.” The unfortunate part of playing in the toughest conference in the nation is that even when mired in a difficult stretch—such as the one in which Duke currently finds itself—there is no break against an easy opponent to regain some confidence. The Blue Devils head next to Louisville, Ky., to face off against Rick Pitino and the No. 6 Cardinals Saturday. Fixing the defense has to become the priority for this team going forward. If it can get more stops defensively, especially against a forward-heavy team like Louisville, that might be able to give them some more confidence on the offensive end. If anyone has the answers to fix these problems, it is Mike Krzyzewski, who has been through it all as a head coach. But it’s been a while since he’s been through this.

But the duo’s offensive efficiency was overshadowed by their inability to stop Miami’s guards from streaking to the rim. When Duke was unsuccessful on the offensive end, it was victimized by the Hurricanes’ torrid offensive pace. Miami pushed the ball up the court relentlessly off Blue Devil misses, leading to a number of easy fast-break opportunities in their two game-changing runs. “It only takes a fraction of a second when you’re watching and a shot is missed,” Krzyzewski said. “If you think about that missed shot, you’re not thinking about getting back.” At the end of a back-and-forth first half, Duke appeared to seize momentum heading into the locker room when a thunderous block by freshman forward Justise Winslow sparked a 5-0 run that was capped by a corner three from junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon with 1:01 remaining. That energy was quickly erased by Rodriguez and the Hurricanes when play resumed after intermission.
A new year usually symbolizes new beginnings, but 2015 has not been kind to Duke. After opening conference play with a convincing win against Boston College, the Blue Devils have watched their dominance slip away, clawing out an eightpoint win against Wake Forest before losses against N.C. State and Miami, marking the first time Duke has lost back-to-back games by double digits since 1996. “Everybody’s been praising us—we’re just so young and naive and we haven’t played with the same type of aggression and sense of urgency since Wisconsin,” senior guard Quinn Cook said after his team’s first home loss since March 3, 2012. “To hear Cameron like that is not a good feeling.” The Blue Devils’ rocky road through the ACC isn’t getting any easier. To avoid losing three consecutive games for the first time since the 2006-07 season, Duke will have have to upend No. 6 Louisville on the road in the first-ever conference matchup between the teams. “I’m really disappointed. This wasn’t the vision that we had, but this is reality,” Jefferson said. “We have to find a way to get better. We’re a good team, and we know we’re a good team, but that’s not good enough.”
