investigation Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Federal regulators are investigating whether or not Duke’s policies for handling sexual misconduct and harassment complaints violate Title IX law.

The University was notified in November that the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights had initiated the investigation of a “Title IX complaint filed by a Duke student,” wrote Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, in an email.

Trio of seniors named Young Trustee finalists Samantha Neal The Chronicle

Special to The Chronicle Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, confirmed that Duke faces a Title IX probe.

Seniors Jamal Edwards, Wills Rooney and Max Schreiber have been named finalists for undergraduate Young Trustee.

The three were selected from a pool of nine semifinalists after interviews with the Young Trustee Nominating Committee. The student body will be able to vote for Young Trustee Feb. 9. Junior Annie Adair, YTNC chair and chief of staff of Duke Student Government, said that the interviews with this year’s finalists were the strongest that she had seen in her two years on the YTNC.

“Each of them brings something different but equally meaningful,” Adair said. “They were all incredibly thoughtful and analytical. We really think each of them is going to be successful on the Board [of Trustees] and the Board will seek out their opinion.”

Adair also emphasized the diversity of the semifinalist pool and the many areas of campus that they represented, from duArts to Panhellenic Association to Blue Devils United.

As a first generation college student, Edwards said he was grateful for the opportunity to be selected as a finalist for Young Trustee.

“As a freshman arriving to Duke and watching my first Young Trustee election, thinking, ‘Wow, these individuals are incredible,’” Edwards said.

“Four years later for that to come full circle, I’m truly humbled.”

Edwards—the former president of Black Student Alliance and a Robertson scholar double majoring in global health and journalism—was named a Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellow in May 2015, which he said would give him a more global perspective if he were voted Young Trustee.

‘Injustice is here’: Scholar Shaun Harper delivers MLK Day address that still need to be made so that America can be fair and just for all. Due to construction, Duke’s annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy was held in Page Auditorium, rather than in the Chapel.

“I am here in Durham because injustice is here,” Harper said.

He addressed the main theme of this year’s commemoration—“Justice or Just Us: Who Is Working to Create a More Perfect Union?”— by describing the role that higher education has as a threat to justice.

“Universities, particularly elite ones like yours and mine, are viewed as places of enlightenment,” Harper said. “I argue that universities themselves pose a serious threat to justice.”

Drawing from his research on campus

Grace Mok The Chronicle Students, faculty and local community members gathered to listen to keynote speaker Shaun Harper during Duke’s celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy Sunday afternoon.

Harper—associate professor of race and equity at the University of Pennsylvania and the founder of the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education—and other speakers including President Richard Brodhead, Durham Mayor Pro Tempore Cora Cole-McFadden and Black Student Alliance President Henry Washington, a junior, spoke about King’s influence today and the changes

racial climates, Harper recounted two stories about white male college students.

His first story was about a student who had grown up in an entirely white community and chose to go to a school that advertised itself as diverse because the student “didn’t want to grow up to be a racist.” Despite the student’s desire to understand people from different backgrounds, he felt frustrated because there was no educational plan or anyone to teach him about different perspectives.

Harper’s second story told of a student who asked him a question referring to people of color as “colored.” After speaking more with the student, Harper learned that he was a senior.

“He was literally about to go into the world thinking it was entirely okay to call people of

color ‘colored.’” he said. “Imagine what else he didn’t know about race, about language, about my people. Imagine what else college can fail to teach him and his peers about racial suffering, racial oppression, racial injustice, racial inequities.”

Emphasizing the power and prevalence of college graduates, Harper went on to explain what he saw as the full impact of ignorance.

“When we fail to teach about the realities of race, and the ever presence of racism in our country, or to help white students understand the experiential realities of people of color, or to teach students how to narrow racial equity gaps in industries or professions they will enter after graduation, we underprepare them for See HARPER on Page 5

Alumnus Rodney Sadler guest preacher at MLK celebration service Jake Parker The Chronicle On the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s death, his philosophy of activism is still being heeded by community leaders across America.

Duke alumnus Rev. Rodney Sadler—who received his Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Biblical Archaeology from the Divinity School in 2001—was the guest preacher a a celebration ace is a lie, a at service Sunday monstrous for Martin Luther King Jr. Day at myth.

Watts Street — Rodney Sadler Baptist Church, where about 100 churchgoers were in attendance. Sadler’s sermon focused on the destructive nature of racial distinctions and the need for individual action in the fight for widespread equality.

“Race is a lie, a monstrous myth,” Sadler said during his sermon. “It is a legitimating ideology, a fiction crafted to justify the dehumanization of some peoples so that we can use and abuse them.”

Sadler commended activists— including Bree Newsome, who climbed a 30-foot flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse to remove the Confederate flag during June of last year—for their courage and initiative. Sadler compared Newsome’s proclamation that “we can’t wait any longer” to King’s similar conviction that “human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability,” noting the importance of each statement places in active efforts

for societal advancement.

“We have to begin with small tangible acts to confront racism,” Sadler said.

“What if there’s still evil in this world not because we’re waiting on God, but because God is waiting on us?”

Sadler has been involved in the Duke community for some time. In addition to his Ph.D. work, he served as a visiting lecturer and interim codirector of the Office of Black Church

Studies. He resided in Durham for nine years prior to moving to Charlotte, where he now serves as Associate Professor of Bible at the Union Presbyterian Seminary.

In addition to his work as an educator, Sadler is an activist working for a variety of causes throughout North Carolina. He currently serves in the leadership of the North Carolina chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of

Colored People and is part of North Carolina’s Moral Monday movement, which has opposed polices of North Carolina’s Republican controlled state legislature. “[Moral Monday] was a response to the aggressive legislation that was coming out of the general assembly,” Sadler explained in his sermon. “The American Legislative Exchange Council basically used North Carolina as its guinea pig, trying to put through a whole lot of ‘conservative’ ideology, which really wasn’t conservative; it really ended up being extremist.”

Sadler added that the assembly’s legislation rolled back Medicaid expansion—part of the Affordable Care Act—and removed health insurance coverage for 500,000 North Carolina residents. The first Moral Monday was led by Rev. William Barber and took place in 2013 as a protest of issues, including limits on Medicaid expansion, denial of unemployment benefits and changes in voting rights.

During the second Moral Monday protest, Sadler was arrested. In his sermon, Sadler thanked his lawyer— who was in attendance at Sunday’s service.

The 10th annual Mass Moral March on Raleigh & HKonJ People’s Assembly will take place on Saturday, Feb. 13. The event will represent the sort of masseffort for change often mobilized by King, Sadler noted. “[Martin Luther King Jr. was] a great saint of the church, a great leader of people, who thought that we could do better, that we could be better, that we could be one,” Sadler said.

Transformative Med School Dean Peñalosa, Trinity ‘78, elected William Anlyan dies at 90 Bogotá mayor for second time Abigail Xie The Chronicle Dr. William Anlyan, renowned innovator and leader of Duke Medical Center, died Sunday at the age of 90.

Anlyan served as the dean of the School of Medicine from 1964 until 1989, and under his leadership, Duke grew to become one of the top medical institutions in the United States. During his lifelong career at Duke, Anlyan oversaw construction of the Duke University Hospital, and his major contributions included expansion of research, teaching

and clinical facilities by 2.5 million square feet. Anlyan was the first to assume the title of chancellor of health affairs in 1983, a position that has since been held by three others.

“Bill Anlyan was a towering, beloved figure in the history of Duke Health,” wrote Dr. A. Eugene Washington, chancellor for health affairs and president of Duke University Health System, in an email. “There is simply no question that the health enterprise at Duke would not be the world-class institution that it is today without Bill’s See ANLYAN on Page 5

Adam Beyer The Chronicle Enrique Peñalosa, Trinity ’78, was sworn in as mayor of Bogotá, Columbia earlier this month.

Peñalosa was reelected to Colombia’s second highest elected office on a platform of improving transportation gridlock and bringing increased safety to a city troubled by high crime rates. He outlined a 100day plan for his initial time as mayor in October—offering proposals to combat high crime rates, improve the city’s public transportation system and help relieve

traffic congestion.

Peñalosa gained international notoriety during his first term as mayor between 1998 and 2001 for his emphasis on improving transportation and mobility for Bogotá’s eight million residents.

His efforts restricted traffic during rush hours, created the city’s “Transmilenio” transit system and expanded public space with 1,000 new parks and more than 250 kilometers of bicycle lanes.

citizenship and leadership in a racially diverse democracy,” he explained. “We set them up to fail the nation in its most vulnerable, persistently under-served population.”

Harper argued that universities must take partial responsibility for the racist attitudes and actions of their graduates, noting that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, has publicly called Mexican immigrants rapists and has called for Muslims to be banned from coming to the United States.

Harper ended his speech with a nod to Martin Luther King, Jr. and a demand to Duke and other universities.

“We need Duke...to better prepare [students],” he said. “We need many, many more of them to be critically conscious, well prepared college graduates, who understand that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

He also reflected upon the student activism that has occurred across American universities during the past few months and reaffirmed the long-standing goals of students of color.

“The issues blacks and other students of color put on national display...were in response to longstanding racial problems,” he said.

Other speakers at the event also echoed this year’s theme and Harper’s sentiments. ColeMcFadden, mayor pro tempore of Durham, noted the high number of homicides in 2015 and urged community members to mentor youths. Brodhead discussed the significance of the upcoming holiday.

“Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a powerful day because it reminds us that impossible things can be changed by certain means of human action,” he said.

Washington spoke about the need for change starting at the individual level.

While an undergraduate at Duke, Peñalosa played on the men’s soccer team and graduated with a degree in history and economics. Peñalosa visited campus last year to lecture on his goal of creating a more democratic society by restructuring urban spaces.

“Many people on right and left love to give money to the poor, but that does not create equality and risks destroying self-esteem,” Peñalosa said at the January 2015 talk, which was sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Nicholas School of the Environment.

“Regardless of income level, a good city can construct inclusion.”

Peñalosa ran two unsuccessful campaigns for mayor since leaving office in 2001 before his recent win. He will be in office until 2019.

Between his two terms, Peñalosa taught at New York University and advocated for improvements to urban policy. His 2013 TED talk titled “Why buses represent democracy in action” has more than 800,000 views.

At the event last year on campus attendee Gustavo Montana, a professor of radiation oncology in the School of Medicine, praised Peñalosa’s leadership.

“I grew up in Bogotá, and it’s extraordinary how he was able to do so much,” Montana said.

His was indeed a life well-lived.”

Anlyan first came to Duke in 1949 for a residency program in general and thoracic surgery. For more than a decade, he rose through the ranks to become an assistant professor of surgery, associate professor and finally full professor in 1961. Three years later he became dean of the medical school, a position he held for 25 years.

Anlyan’s colleagues and successors credit him with bringing national and international acclaim to Duke and its medical center.

Flags around campus were lowered Sunday to respect his passing.

“He took the helm of a very good regional school, but under his leadership, it rose in stature so that it was recognized as one of the top tier medical institutions in the country,” said Ralph Snyderman, James B. Duke professor of medicine and Anlyan’s successor in 1989. “Bill had a very broad horizon, and he brought people from around the world here, so that Duke became a very familiar institution and a very familiar name.”

Anlyan was one of the founding members of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and the first chairman of the Council of Deans for the Association of American Medical Colleges. He was a recipient of the Duke Medical Alumni Association’s inaugural lifetime achievement award in 1995 and of the Abraham

Snyderman also pointed to Anlyan’s recruitment of outstanding faculty and staff as one of his biggest contributions to the University.

“I would give Bill a lot of credit for keeping the bar very high in terms of the quality of people we brought in and maintained, and the level of quality of the medical school,” Snyderman said.

Snyderman added that Anlyan was a “gentle, honest individual” and a large source of support during his own tenure as chancellor for health affairs.

“William Anlyan will go down at Duke as one of its true giants, particularly as it relates to its medical center. Bill devoted most of his life to Duke,” Snyderman said.

DUKE DROPS THIRD STRAIGHT ‘Amazing’ 26 Syracuse offensive rebounds sink Blue Devils to 3-3 in ACC play ending once again Meredith Cash The Chronicle

After suffering back-to-back ACC losses against Clemson and Notre Dame, the Blue Devils had a chance to right the ship, but cold shooting and an inability to rebound cost them dearly.

A dominant effort by Syracuse on the offensive glass helped propel the Orange past No. 20 Duke 64-62 Monday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Center Marshall CUSE 64 Plumlee led all DUKE 62 scorers with 19 points and added 17 rebounds, but it was not enough to prevent the Blue Devils’ third straight loss—their first three-game losing streak since the 2006-07 season.

“Our kids have fought the whole year,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They’re under-manned, they’re underage and they’ve done a good job. When you lose, it makes you appreciate even more what you’ve done, and it should make you hungrier to win again.”

Syracuse junior Tyler Roberson controlled the offensive glass all

The Blue Devils desperately needed redemption, and they were so close they could almost taste it.

Duke trailed by a single point with 10 seconds remaining against a resolute Syracuse squad, and head coach Mike Krzyzewski put the ball— and his trust—in the hands of the Blue Devils’ most prolific playmaker— sophomore Grayson Allen.

The Jacksonville, Fla., native received the inbounds pass from junior Matt Jones and drove into the paint from the top of the key with his usual reckless abandon, spinning through the Orange’s signature 2-3 zone and scooping the ball under the outstretched arm of 6-foot-8 freshman Tyler Lydon.

Allen’s underhanded shot landed high on the glass and fell harmlessly away from the basket. Syracuse junior Tyler Roberson—who had already made tremendous contributions for the Orange with 14 points and 20

Offense fails Blue Devils against Syracuse 2-3 zone Sameer Pandhare The Chronicle On a night that ended on a Matt Jones half-court heave—the Blue Devils’ 37th attempt from beyond the arc—the first five minutes of the game proved to be a microcosm of what was to come.

The high-powered Duke offense failed to score in the first 5:19 of Monday’s 64-62 loss to Syracuse, missing its first eight shots, including its first six from downtown. To say the Blue Devils struggled to solve Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim’s 2-3 zone defense is an understatement, as the team connected on only 10 of a seasonhigh 37 threes—the fifth-most attempts in program history.

“We attacked it the right way probably half the game,” sophomore guard Grayson Allen said. “What the zone does a good job of is making you stand up and not attack it, just swing

passes around. For us, when we were attacking the zone, we were making kicks, making the right play.”

Unlike a year ago—when Duke took advantage of Jahlil Okafor down low and Justise Winslow on the low block against the Orange’s zone and took only 38 combined 3-pointers in two games—the Blue Devils were not able to get effective contributions from the elbow in the middle of the zone Monday.

Despite the absence of senior forward Amile Jefferson and its impact on the the Blue Devils’ depth and defensive rebounding woes, Duke’s style of play did the home team no favors Monday. Against longer teams with athletic defenders, the Blue Devils have not consistently had a slasher to get easy baskets at the hoop. With Duke’s offense lacking a threat to score at the rim—save some Marshall Plumlee put-back dunks—Boeheim and his defense continued to tighten,

pushing farther and farther up on the Blue Devil offense and forcing the team to settle and hoist from deep.

Sometimes the offense works— Duke hit seven 3-pointers in the first 7:03 against Virginia Tech and six triples in less than nine minutes to build a 12-point first-half lead against Clemson.

But other times, the Blue Devils are left stuck, stewing in frustration as one shot after another clanks off the rim, leading to the 3:47 scoring drought that allowed Orange to jump back into the game in the first half and the 3:42 scoreless stretch that eliminated a sixpoint Duke lead early in the second half.

“You’re doing something human,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

DUKE DROPS OUT OF TOP 25 Ryan Hoerger The Chronicle

For the first time in 312 weeks, the Blue Devils are unranked.

Thursday’s 65-62 home loss to N.C. State was likely to cost Duke its spot in the AP top 25, a fate the poll voters confirmed Monday afternoon, ending a streak that began Nov. 29, 1999—the third-longest in history.

The Blue Devils bounced back with a 71-51 win against Boston College Sunday—ending a two-game skid—but still sit at 2-3 in the ACC. Duke is 13-6 overall, but has struggled against top-caliber competition this season, particularly on the road. The Blue Devils opened the season ranked No. 14, but climbed as high as No. 12 despite losses against then-No. 12 Texas A&M, No. 2 South Carolina and thenNo. 8 Kentucky. After a 36-point loss to Syracuse to open ACC play Jan. 3, head coach Joanne P. McCallie’s squad dropped to No. 18, and another lopsided road defeat at Louisville Jan. 10 sent Duke to No. 22.

With 3:22 remaining, point guard Derryck Thornton hit a 3-pointer to cut the Syracuse lead to 61-56. After forcing forward Tyler Roberson into a miss and securing the defensive rebound, the Blue Devils had several looks to cut further into the lead—all from downtown.

Despite continuing to volley the ball back and forth and collecting three offensive rebounds on the possession,

The loss against the Wolfpack Thursday—which snapped a 152-game home winning streak against unranked opponents—went down to the wire, but N.C. State’s hot shooting and veteran guard play made the difference down the stretch.

The Blue Devils have been hampered by injuries of late—redshirt freshman forward Lyneé Belton has missed the past two games with a sprained ankle, and freshman point guard Angela Salvadores sat out of Sunday’s win after tweaking an ankle against the Wolfpack. Freshman guard Haley Gorecki has been sidelined since the loss at Syracuse with a hip injury, and junior forward Kendall Cooper is not enrolled in classes this semester.

Duke received the 29th-most votes in the latest edition of the poll, and can start making its case to re-enter the rankings beginning Thursday at Clemson. The next marquee opponent on the Blue Devils’ schedule is No. 3 Notre Dame, which visits Durham Feb. 1. Duke has not beaten the Fighting Irish since Notre Dame joined the ACC for the 2013-14 season. the Blue Devils struggled to move the ball inside the arc, hoisting three triples that all were off target before a tip-in by Brandon Ingram.

“We have a lot of shooters on our team and they’re great,” Thornton said. “Grayson, Luke, Matt, Brandon— all our perimeter [players] can really shoot the ball. That zone definitely forces you to shoot more threes and usually we make them, but today they didn’t fall.”

Roberson’s efforts led to second- and third-chance opportunities for Syracuse, often in the form of kick-outs to open shooters from beyond the arc. Ultimately, the Blue Devils finished with 24 defensive rebounds to Syracuse’s 26 offensive rebounds.

“They just wanted it more than us,” Plumlee said. “Boards isn’t a skill, it’s just something that you want to do. It’s really disturbing but that’s been the reality these last couple games.”

With five minutes left to play, the Orange (13-7, 3-4 in the ACC) led by nine points, putting Duke squarely in the danger zone. But a reverse dunk

by Plumlee, a 3-pointer from freshman point guard Derryck Thornton and a tip-in by freshman Brandon Ingram brought the Blue Devils right back into the mix.

Roberson ended the Duke run by hitting a layup after drawing a foul, though he could not complete the 3-point play. Sophomore Grayson Allen answered with a quick layup of his own, and Plumlee followed suit with a reverse layup to bring the Orange lead within one with 30 seconds left to play.

“This game is tremendous,” Krzyzewski said. “It can be incredibly great to you and it can be incredibly cruel. Right now we’re going through the cruel part, but it’s a big picture thing for me all the time.”

The Blue Devils entered the game ranked second in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency, but it certainly did not look that way in the opening minutes of Monday’s contest.

Duke opened the game shooting 0-of-7 from the floor and did not put any points on the board until 5:19 into the contest. Syracuse jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead in that time span before

junior Matt Jones broke the silence for the Blue Devils by knocking down a jumper from beyond the arc.

Ingram got hot from there, putting up five points in a 40-second stretch to give Duke its first lead of the contest, but Syracuse answered back when former Blue Devil Michael Gbinije lobbed a pass to Roberson, who finished with an emphatic alley-oop.

Allen was held scoreless for much of the first half, but erupted for nine consecutive points to extend the Blue Devil lead to six just before halftime.

But Orange marksman Trevor Cooney sank a 3-pointer to cut Duke’s lead to three, and Allen’s would-be buzzerbeater was waved off upon replay review, sending the Blue Devils into the locker room leading 29-26.

“The first-half we did a pretty good job defensively,” Allen said.

“Offensively, we have to stay confident.

Tonight was a night that shots didn’t fall early and I don’t know if guys became hesitant, but guys got hesitant, and we need to shoot the next shot like it’s going in.”

Duke started off the second half with all of the energy it lacked in opening the first. Plumlee and Allen dropped in layups to extend the Blue Devil lead, but once again, the Orange answered.

Gbinije sank a 3-pointer to tie the game at 33, but Jones responded with a 3-pointer of his own to re-establish control for Duke.

Syracuse made a decisive run with 13 minutes to go. A quick 8-0 spurt

by Cooney and Richardson gave the Orange their first lead since 3:34 remaining in the first half.

“The last couple of games have been hard and obviously they haven’t come out the way we wanted them,” Plumlee said. “Looking back on it, these games are going to help us down the road. We’ve been in a lot of tough games and we just got to learn how to finish them now.”

Duke treks across the Triangle Saturday to take on N.C. State at 2 p.m., now looking to avoid a four-game skid.

Carolyn Chang | The Chronicle Freshman Luke Kennard couldn’t solve the 2-3 zone and had one of his worst games of the year Monday, going scoreless after missing all nine of his field goal attempts.

Alex Deckey| The Chronicle Allen said the Blue Devils tried to attack the Orange zone by swinging the ball, but they couldn’t accomplish that enough to avoid their third straight loss Monday night.

ENDING from page 6 rebounds—punched it away, hoping to prevent another shot attempt before time expired.

The ball bounced out near the free-throw line, where Jones lunged forward to grab it but was met by two Syracuse players following suit. The DeSoto, Texas, native stretched his hands out for the ball before making contact with Malachi Richardson and throwing his hands up as the ball was knocked away.

Richardson came away with the ball and the Blue Devils were left looking at the referees waiting for a whistle that did not come—the third prominent no-call in the five games between the two teams since the Orange joined the ACC in 2013, and one that did not sit well with Krzyzewski after the game.

“We would’ve liked to drive a little bit more, although we did right at the end of the game for this amazing ending,” Krzyzewski said. “The last play was just amazing. Have you seen it?

You should go see it. Literally amazing.

The one at the foul line. It’s amazing basketball, let’s put it that way.”

With the game still not entirely in the books, Duke freshman Derryck Thornton dove after Richardson and delivered the foul with 2.1 seconds remaining. Richardson toed the line with his team in the bonus—and thus with a chance to put the game out of

the Blue Devils’ reach once and for all.

He drained the first shot to make it a two-point game, but the second came up short, ricocheting off the rim and falling into the hands of Jones with two seconds to go.

Jones charged up the court, using two dribbles to get just beyond the Syracuse 3-point line. There, he made contact with two Orange defenders as he heaved the ball in a last-ditch effort. The desperation attempt was deflected and did not get past half court, and as the Syracuse players streamed away to celebrate, Jones slid across the floor, looking for another whistle.

“We put ourselves in a position to win,” Krzyzewski said. “Matt made a great play and he wasn’t rewarded. He made a great play. It’s amazing. It’s literally amazing. God bless America.”

Monday’s down-to-the-wire loss against Syracuse was nothing new for Duke. Four of the five games between the Blue Devils and Orange as ACC foes have been decided by eight points or fewer, with officiating now at the center of three of them.

In the teams’ first meeting at the Carrier Dome in February 2014, Duke almost dealt then-undefeated Syracuse its first loss of the season, but Rodney Hood’s dunk attempt at the end of overtime was turned away by Rakeem Christmas, with the Internet left to decide whether contact was made to Hood’s arm.

Just a few weeks later, head coach

Jim Boeheim stormed onto Coach K Court—blazer flapping in his wake— to contest a charge call drawn by Hood against a driving C.J. Fair on a lay-up that could have given the Orange the lead in the final seconds.

Boeheim was ejected, quipping postgame that the call was “the worst call of the year.”

Krzyzewski did not go quite that far

Monday night, but it was clear he felt a different resolution to the no-call with 2.1 seconds left was in order.

During the first half, Boeheim gamely pretended to remove his jacket Monday when the Cameron Crazies started chanting at him, flashing a smile in the process to the cheers of the crowd. In the end, though, the Orange got the last laugh.

Alex Deckey | The Chronicle Allen scored 18 points for the Blue Devils Monday, but couldn’t get a runner to fall in the waning seconds of the second half that would have tied the game.

possessions we ran at four or five guys and got them off the 3-point line.”

The Blue Devils will likely be without the services of Jefferson for much of conference play and the young team will have to quickly move past Monday’s 27.0 percent clip from beyond the arc. Three of Duke’s next four foes rank in the top five in the conference in 3-point defense, with other opponents likely to transition to more zone defenses against the Blue Devils.

As the common refrain goes—“Live by the three, die by the three.”

Syracuse to just 35.2 percent shooting despite a disastrous performance on the boards, the perimeter-focused Blue Devil offense—which entered Monday averaging 86.9 points per game— simply struggled to shoot over the top of the zone.

“Duke is a very good offensive team and to hold them to the numbers we did tonight was just a tremendous defensive effort by our kids,” Boeheim said. “Our 3-point defense was tremendous. The last three or four

Detach strings from student health care

n October 2014, Duke announced plans for a new Student Health and Wellness Center. The 72,000-square-foot structure brings Student Health, Case Management and other health resources together under one roof. While the new building will greatly improve student health care on campus, it fails to address a striking problem with how health care is administered on campus. Many campus providers—including the Women’s Center, Counseling and Psychological Services, and the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity—answer to and are budgeted under the Division of Student Affairs.

This chain of command leaves room for potential conflicts of interest where the interests of the University may not align with the medical best interests of the student. For example at Princeton and several other universities, students have fought universities advising suicidal students to voluntarily withdraw or else be involuntarily withdrawn when many medical professionals say withdrawing can be detrimental and inappropriate for some depressed students. A healthcare provider should counsel the student based on their medical case without pressure from the university’s administrators.

Further consider a student looking for counseling after a sexual assault. While the student might desire to pursue legal action against the alleged perpetrator, a department like Student Affairs may very well be

interested in avoiding costly lawsuits that could blow into public relations disasters. Pressuring counselors to emphasize forgiveness resolution to survivors is not an unlikely possibility but may not be the path an independent provider would take.

These potential conflicts of interest are further compounded by privacy issues with student medical records. In cases of litigation between a student and their University, the student’s medical records are essentially unprotected by HIPAA privacy regulations according to

Editorial the Department of Education, allowing for the public exposure of counseling records. This risks compromising the integrity of the professionals providing care and the privacy of students in their health care, who may no longer feel able to litigate given the exposure risk.

In 2015, administrators at the University of Oregon released a student’s private counseling session records after she sued the school. A few months later at Yale University, holding medical records under FERPA led to a student’s parents being notified of mental health treatment despite a rocky relationship that the medical professionals were aware of and being cautious not to upset.

Resolving these loopholes and risks for conflicts

“I

of interest and confidentiality is not easily done but requires transforming how student health care is administered on campus. If the Duke Hospital and not Student Affairs oversaw the on-campus resources that students go to so often for counseling, the process of health care from start to finish would be managed by professionals with much less non-medical stake in what treatments were given to students. The vulnerability of records to exposure would also be mitigated. Otherwise, these centers could transition towards a referral-based system, in which trained staff review student cases and suggest appropriate medical professionals within the Duke University Health System or in the Durham area. Current medical professionals on campus could move to private practice or be incorporated into DUHS and the referral system.

While Duke’s medical professionals care very much about the students they treat and there is no reason to suspect anybody wishes vulnerable students ill, it cannot be denied that the current organization of student health care providers on campus needs changes. Students cannot be left open to these plausible conflicts of interest and unwanted privacy breaches. Duke students ought to be able to seek health treatment on campus without any trepidation that Student Affairs or non-medical considerations will interfere in their best road to recovery.

Lies and evasive truths

want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Ms. Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time. Never.

These allegations are false.” — Bill Clinton, 1998 The carefully worded denials of Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky Scandal in 1998 pose an interesting moral dilemma in the realm of justice. These denials came under scrutiny during the impeachment trial of President Clinton as Representative Bob Inglis (R- South Carolina) accused President Clinton of lying to the American people. White House Special Counsel cited the fact

the consequences of those actions might be the same, the actions themselves are completely different. To break this argument down further, the actions of lying and evading the truth are only the same from a consequentialist perspective. When you lie, you know that you do not believe what you are saying.

On the other hand, when you provide a misleading truth, you believe what you are saying and you intend for others to believe what you are saying because it is true, even if it isn’t telling of the truth. Thus, even though the ultimate consequence is deception, the modes of achieving the deception matter with regard to how information is relayed. This would suggest that the two actions are categorically different and

Ajay Desai THE ETHICIST that President Clinton did not actually lie when he said the statement above. At the trial, the President’s testimony that he did not have “sexual relations” with Monica Lewinsky was honest. The defense claimed that Clinton construed the meaning of “sexual relations” to mean vaginal intercourse thus indicating that his statement was not a lie since his interactions with Ms. Lewinsky were limited to oral sex. Though the argument was “hairsplitting” and “evasive” in the words of Gregory Craig, a White House Special Counsel Representative responsible for defending President Clinton, it was understood by the prosecution that the words of President Clinton were not in fact a lie but rather a misleading version of the truth. This was a consistently strong rebuttal to the accusations against the President’s statements since President Clinton, though attempting to intentionally mislead the American people, did not in fact lie. The question to explore here is whether or not there is a moral distinction to be made between a lie and a deliberate evasion of the truth.

When considering the purpose of each action, one could argue that the motivation and intention for both lying and deliberately evading the truth is by and large the same. By extension, it could then be concluded that the actions themselves are essentially the same. Because the goal of lying and providing a misleading version of the truth are to obscure reality from others, there is little difference between the two actions given that the means by which this goal is achieved are almost the same. A carefully crafted version of the truth that is intended to mislead cannot be any better than a lie because both are fashioned with the same purpose in mind—deception.

On the other hand, an argument against equating lying with intentionally evading the truth is that, while

are therefore not morally the same.

When one considers this question, it might be useful to first consider that lying is not categorically wrong from a moral standpoint. One might also find some use in attempting to understand President Clinton’s approach to the situation. Clinton, in an effort to protect himself, might have lied as a circumstantial measure until more convincing evidence (i.e. the Starr Report) was brought forth.

Torn between the realms of liberty and necessity, would the rest of us not have done the same? A lie seemingly without consequence… perhaps a moral hiccup but otherwise an opportunity too good to pass up. While it would be wrong to say that President Clinton should have been acquitted on the grounds of being subject to the frailties of human beings, he at least chose not to lie outright. Though he did violate some sort of moral dogma, he paid homage to duty and said a truthful statement that settled the concerns of the American people without incriminating himself. Somewhere internally, his course of action was influenced by the notion that lying is wrong and, President Clinton, by choosing to carefully evade the truth as well as a lie, showed a degree of respect for the moral dignity of the law.

What do you think? Was Bill Clinton’s statement just as morally improper as a lie? Were his impeachment charges of obstruction of justice and perjury worthy of acquittal in light of his false testimony? Is an intentionally deceiving truthful statement as bad as an outright lie in our daily lives? Is either action bad at all, or should necessity occasionally warrant lying? I will likely explore the ethical foundation of lying through the works of Immanuel Kant in a later column. Stay tuned ... .

Our condition, (s)now

T

he Duke community experienced its first snowfall on Sunday morning, but the snow “didn’t stick” to the ground.

(I have no idea what that means. But that’s how a couple of my Long Island friends described the snowfall to me. “Didn’t stick” apparently means that, because of earlymorning, non-frozen precipitation, the frozen atmospheric water vapor failed to amalgamate and form a layer of snow or ice on the ground. But, parenthetically speaking,

the boring perfection of the weather of my hometown. In fact, this condition was quite familiar to my perspirative perspective and approach at home. I was at Duke, just as I was in Los Angeles. My condition wasn’t of any immediate concern.

But then, without notice, our Durham damp heat released its grip on the Duke community and a more comfortable warmth became the new normal. It wasn’t sudden; it just happened. Much like the way we found ourselves falling into new patterns of a new

Free speech, black lives and white fragility

A

s I write my first column, I am thinking a lot about speech. I am thinking about how an urgent and overdue conversation about racism— on our campus and across our country— has been derailed by a diversionary and duplicitous obsession with the First Amendment. I am thinking about how quickly the conversation has shifted from white supremacy to white fragility—and

(G)RAD LEFT how this shift is itself an expression of white supremacy.

White fragility refers to a range of defensive behaviors through which white people (or more accurately, people who believe they are white) deflect conversations about race and racism in order to protect themselves from racebased stress. Because white people tend to live in environments where whiteness is both dominant and invisible, they grow accustomed to racial comfort, as a result of which even a small amount of racial stress becomes intolerable. This helps explain why talking about white supremacy can feel more painful to white people than white supremacy itself, why the ostensible “stifling” of debate can feel more pressing than the literal strangulation of Eric Garner and how “free speech” seems more important than black lives.

Needless to say, it requires an astounding degree of narcissism, ignorance and— yes—fragility to scan headlines detailing the daily, state-sanctioned slaughter of people of color and somehow conclude that speech is the real problem. White fragility weighs the minimal discomfort of being confronted with painful realities about race and racism against the literal death of black and brown bodies and decides that the latter matter less than white discomfort. Which is how we end up here, talking about speech on campus and reading a dozen iterations of the same editorial in which students describe—with utterly unintentional irony—how being called out by anti-racist activists makes them feel upset and hurts their feelings.

This leaves those of us committed to abolishing white supremacy in a double bind. To engage with this debate is to fall for a diversionary tactic in which we again center the conversation on white feelings. To refuse to engage grants the latter a monopoly on the airways, drowning out more vital issues in an ocean of white noise. Still, in the interests of the open, honest debate the free speechers ostensibly advocate, let me try to address the constitutional and philosophical Jackson Prince is a Trinity freshman. His col- principles at play here.

The first point to make is that, despite umn runs on alternate Tuesdays. the hand-wringing, I have yet to see a single example of student activists violating the First Amendment. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how they could do so, given that the latter proscribes government abridgment of speech while student activists are private citizens. Many seem to confuse “free speech” with some banal notion of civility, forgetting that the very freedoms they invoke to defend racist drivel permit anti-racists to respond— whether by calling someone out or calling for their resignation. www.dukechronicle.com/opinion This would seem to set up a nice equivalence between racists and antiracists—both exercising free-speech freedoms, which must be equally and

there are a lot of ways that it did “stick.”

This was my first ever snowfall. I’m a native of Los Angeles, a region defined by its monotonous forecast of sunny and hot, sunny and warm or—thanks to a recent El Niño—sunny with a midday drizzle.

I’ve travelled a bunch, and although I’ve been to New York City plenty of times in the winter, each visit I always seem to miss the snowfall by a few days. As for other opportunities to experience snowfall, I don’t have the balance, endurance, patience or jargon required for skiing. Fact is, the snow that I’ve sled upon, waddled through, tossed around, peed in and munched on—not in that order—has always simply been there, magically waiting for me.

Yet, on Sunday, I arose to what had merely been a movie moment for my 18 years of existence: the first snow of the year. Any year.

I shook awake my roommate, who couldn’t have cared less. Grabbing one of the dozen warm coats that my characteristically-worried Jewish parents sent from home, I flew out of the Blackwell dorm doors. And there, for the first time in my entire life, I experienced snowfall, the first snowfall of a place that I called “home.” I was truly amazed.

Because it didn’t “stick,” most at Duke weren’t as affected as I had been. The majority of the members of the Duke community awoke to a light flurry, filmed the mandatory videos to add to their Snapchat stories and went about their respective days. For most, it merely made for a wet, uncomfortable Sunday morning as, on impact, the snow melted immediately—and pathetically—into the existing puddles of mud.

The snowfall, underwhelming as it may have been for most of our community, however, was an indicator of something even greater than the weather. It marked a symbolic passing of time, a reminder that we have to acknowledge the everchanging conditions, both in the climate and in ourselves.

Just four months ago, Blue Devils on campuses East, West and Central donned tank tops and t-shirts discolored by semiconcealed pit stains as we adapted to a damp Durham condition: a heat that definitely did “stick.” Note that I did have the appropriate attire for this atmospheric event thanks to

way of life, there was no climactic reason to pay attention. Comfortable warmth became a blustery cool, and our blustery cool became a stagnant cold—at least for this Californian. All the while, we had yet to be commanded by an atmospheric event to stop what we were doing and look further into what we’ve been up to.

Which brings us all to last Sunday.

Our first snowfall. Whether we liked it or whether we even noticed it, the snow actually did have some “stick” to it. There was something impactful and important as, for the first time this year, Durham weather happened. And with that first falling snow, I was inspired to “drop in to see what condition my condition was in.”

So, I checked in. I paid attention. I assessed my condition. I had come a long way from the sticky damp heat of September, a feeling of evolution that I’m sure is shared by plenty of other freshman. As the snowflakes outside of Blackwell landed on one of my many SoCal-shipped jackets and momentarily frosted my California-cut hair, in that moment, I realized that my condition had adapted, and continues to adapt, to this home. A home that was not Los Angeles.

I’ve come to find that my own condition is now dependent not merely upon the weather conditions at Duke but also upon the exceptional non-atmospheric conditions of Duke and the varied conditions of the members of the Duke community.

It’s special to call such a place that experiences such dramatic changes and wideranging variations in its conditions “home.”

It’s not something to take for granted, despite the fact that we often do, as we are so focused on discovering our own respective paths that we forget to look around and look within, to feel the changing conditions and to let things stick.

And that was it. That will always be the story of my first snowfall. A definitive moment.

Everybody gets only one first snowfall, just like everybody gets only one first kiss. For me, both were surprisingly wet, sadly weak and ended way too quickly. But they sure do stick).

indiscriminately defended. What this ignores, however, is the centuries-long history of racialized oppression to which hate speech contributes. Hate speech is thus both violent and an incitement to further violence. The courts already prohibit walking into a crowded theater and shouting “fire.”

How is this any different from walking into a white supremacist society and

shouting racial slurs?

It has become almost a truism that there is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment. Historically speaking, this is inaccurate. As M. Alison Kibler details in her “Censoring Racial Ridicule,” the U.S. has a long history of regulating forms of speech that expose racialized groups to “contempt, derision or obloquy.” Indeed, as recently as 1952, the Supreme Court upheld an Illinois law applying the standards of libel (another free-speech exception) to hate speech. It is only in recent years that the courts have, as the National Center for Human Rights Education puts it, “privileged white racists to express themselves at the expense of the safety of African-Americans and other people of color.”

Key to this new interpretation is a firm separation between speech and action, a legal variant on the old childhood adage: “sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you.” The problem—as anyone who has been the victim of hate speech can tell you—is that this simply isn’t true. Words hurt as much as actions; indeed, words are actions.

Within the context of white supremacy, any distinction between a defaced poster, a racist pamphlet and legal or extralegal murder can be only of degree.

At the same time—and here I’ll throw a bone to the civil libertarians—I’m unconvinced that hate speech legislation can resolve this. Not because hate speech isn’t violent, but because the state is. As others have noted, we often view the state like some strange sort of Jekyll and Hyde— as if the very government quite literally built on white supremacy could somehow save us from its effects. I’ve sometimes noticed the same double vision among campus activists, who both call out Duke (quite rightly) for institutional racism yet also call on the administration to fix it.

So where does that leave us? With the painful yet empowering realization that no one will save us but ourselves. Rather than relying on the state to censure hate speech, anti-racists can assume that task— calling out and shouting down every expression of white supremacy as we work to build a genuinely free society. In the meantime, we can construct safe spaces for ourselves where hatred is barred at the door. In other words, the exact work that campus activists are already doing.

Cowardly racists and homophobes who deface posters or vandalize dormitories are not heroic defenders of free speech.

The true heroes are those who have spoken out against injustice, time and again, in the face of both material and psychological retaliation. Everything else is just white noise.

TITLE IX from page 1 discrimination in federally funded education programs—giving colleges and universities an independent obligation to deal with sexual misconduct in a timely fashion, regardless of whether a police investigation occurs. The news was first reported by the Durham Herald-Sun last week.

“The University will cooperate fully with the investigation, which will review the handling of sexual misconduct and harassment complaints involving students, faculty and staff,” Schoenfeld wrote in an email.

The OCR only releases the names of students who file complaints at the end of its investigations.

A similar investigation occurred at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill three years ago when students and alumni voiced complaints. Federal regulators notified UNC that they would investigate allegations that administrators had not properly responded to complaints of harassment, assault and violence.

There are currently 197 ongoing investigations occurring at 161 institutions, with the Duke case being the most recent one,

according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.

John Burness—visiting professor of the practice in the Sanford School of Public Policy and former senior vice president for public government affairs and public relations—explained that the OCR will come to campus to interview administrators about Duke’s procedures.

“They’ll take a look at the policies the University has and measure those against federal Title IX requirements,” Burness said.

He noted that most similar investigations take between two and four years—which he described as a “glacial” process.

At the conclusion of the investigations, most institutions establish more clear policies and procedures on how cases will be evaluated in the future, he explained. The University of Virginia, for example, implemented a new sexual assault policy after reaching an agreement with the Department of Education.

“There is a sense that no matter where the institution is, it will be found to have violated something,” Burness said. “It ensures the institution is paying attention.”

He added that investigations often lead to heightened expectations of both the students and administrators to address sexual assault on campus.

Duke has faced incidents concerning sexual assault during

the last few years. Last year, head coach Mike Krzyzewski dismissed Rasheed Sulaimon from the men’s basketball team, noting that Sulaimon had failed to “consistently live up to the standards required to be a member of our program.” The Chronicle later reported that two students had voiced sexual assault allegations against Sulaimon at off-campus retreats, though no formal reports were filed with the Office of Student Conduct or the Durham Police Department.

In January 2015, a female student claimed that she had been drugged and sexually assaulted at an off-campus party hosted by Alpha Delta Phi. The Durham City Police investigated the claim, but Durham District Attorney Roger Echols decided against pursuing criminal charges.

Neither OCR nor Schoenfeld has specifically linked either of these events to why the investigation began, however.

Schoenfeld explained that providing education and training on Title IX as well as support for those who report sexual misconduct is a priority for the University.

“Duke is firmly committed to sustaining a safe, inclusive environment for all students, and works diligently across the campus to ensure compliance with the letter and spirit of Title IX,” he wrote.

YT FINALISTS from page 1 The Chronicle, was also excited to be named a finalist and said he hopes that he can help Duke establish an “institutional identity.”

“Duke has given me a wide range of opportunities to reflect on what it is that an education ought to be and what it is that a university ought to do for students,” Rooney said.

“I view the Young Trustee opportunity as a chance for me to give back to a school that has given me a ton.”

Rooney was also named a George J. Mitchell Scholar, which supports one year of study at a university in Ireland or Northern Ireland. He plans to study the philosophy of religion and pursue a master’s degree in theology at Maynooth University in Ireland.

Schreiber, the current president of Interfraternity Council and a former columnist for The Chronicle, noted that as Young Trustee he would focus on issues relevant to undergraduates such as accountability and the protection of free speech.

“I’m really excited about the chance to go at it with two great guys about the direction of the University,” Schreiber said. “I’m looking forward to making my case why I’m the best person on the ballot to represent the undergraduates.”

Schreiber also noted that another important part of his platform would be increasing socioeconomic diversity.

This year, changes to the Young Trustee bylaw—including the selection of the YTNC by DSG president Keizra Mecklai and Richard Riddell, vice president and University secretary—were implemented to reduce the influence DSG had on choosing the finalists. Schreiber is the only finalist this year who has ever been affiliated with DSG.

DUKE HEALTH from page 1 materials are still branded as Duke Medicine, the transition from Duke Medicine to Duke Health is expected to take most of the year, according to the press release, which noted that the logo will remain unchanged other than the change from the word “Medicine” to the word “Health.”

The rebranding can also be seen in television advertisements, which have been airing since late October on local networks and on platforms such as Hulu. The ads, which are part of an effort called Plan for Duke, encourage North Carolina residents to update their insurance plans to include Duke providers.

“Even if your current plan covers Duke, drastic changes to insurance plans could put your health at risk,” reads text from the Plan for Duke website. “Simply put, you could lose your Duke doctor as well as care from the #1 hospital in the state.”

According to reporting by Duke Today, the changes will have no impact on Duke employees who have a Duke health insurance plan. The goal of the advertisements is to educate current Duke patients purchasing a plan at Healthcare.gov to ensure that their plan includes Duke doctors and clinics.

This push is in response to the rise in popularity of narrow-network health insurance plans, which according to information from the organization Academy Health, are increasingly popular among insurers because they allow insurance companies to offer lower monthly premiums by limiting the group of providers available to patients.

According to a study by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, 52 percent of insurance products offered under the Affordable Care Act are these narrow-network plans.

Insurance enrollment for 2016 will continue until Jan. 31, according to Forbes.
