Admins continue planning Central Campus’ future Adam Beyer The Chronicle Despite planned construction work, the apartment buildings on Central Campus may be here to stay for a while.

In March, Duke announced that approximately 162 students living on Central Campus along Alexander Avenue would be relocated for the 2016-17 academic year as their buildings are torn down or used to house other students whose living spaces are being razed. Due to the large amount of planned housing construction—including a new dorm on East Campus and the renovations of Craven and Crowell Quadrangles—Central Campus will not be fully retired until the early 2020s, said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs.

“We are in the middle of design considerations with a couple of different [architecture] firms helping us think through options for more housing construction on West Campus and options for more construction on Campus Drive,” Moneta said.

“Nothing is yet developed, we just have very rudimentary massing analysis.”

For the next year, seven selective living group sections were moved to other areas— either on Central Campus or Universityowned apartments on Swift Avenue. The work will affect residents living in the sororities

Han Kang | The Chronicle Seven selective living groups on Central Campus will be relocated to other areas as the University transforms Central.

Chi Omega and Zeta Tau Alpha, fraternities Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu and SLGs The Cube, Multicultural Greek Council and Ubuntu. An updated map of locations for selective living groups is available online.

Although these apartments are being vacated, they will not be immediately demolished, Moneta noted. Instead, it is more cost-effective to remove all Central Campus apartments at once.

Rick Johnson, associate vice president of student affairs for Housing, Dining and Residence Life, explained that the next step is to build a new 350-bed dormitory on West Campus near Keohane and Edens Quadrangles. Construction will begin in May 2017 after graduation and will be completed in Fall 2019, he said. According to a release announcing the dormitory, the new bedrooms will house students in singles clustered into

four-bedroom, two-bathroom units.

In addition, the University will construct new housing on Campus Drive and Anderson Drive beginning Summer 2018 and expected to finish in Fall 2020, Johnson explained.

He noted that after construction is completed, no students will be housed on Central Campus and that the bus route will only run from East to West Campus.

“It’s a major investment and initiative for Duke,” he said. “It needs to be done, and the school’s committed to doing it.

Students will be closer to West Campus and their classes.”

Moneta wrote that a number of options are under consideration for Central Campus once its demolition is complete—including private development, health system uses and land banking.

The cost of the renovations to existing dormitories and construction of the announced buildings “could exceed” $250 million, University officials noted in the release.

Administrators are still working to determine how to pay for replacements buildings for Central Campus, Moneta said.

Central Campus was originally constructed in the mid-1970s as “garden-style apartments.”

The portion of the campus with apartments occupies approximately 35 acres.

Single-stall restrooms to be relabeled as gender-neutral Abigail Xie The Chronicle

Han Kang | The Chronicle Two single-stall restrooms in the Bryan Center have been relabeled as gender-neutral.

Student groups’ push for the designation of more gender-neutral bathrooms in campus buildings has resulted in a University initiative to relabel many single-stall restrooms.

Duke Student Government and Blue Devils United are working with administrators in Facilities Management, the Office for Institutional Equity, the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity and the Disability Management System to designate a single-occupancy genderneutral bathroom in every University

building with existing single-stall restrooms. Senior Ilana Weisman, executive vice president of DSG, said that the goal of the project is to make campus a welcoming environment for all students.

“We are in a state that is very clearly not supportive of diverse gender identities,” Weisman said. “I think [gender-neutral bathrooms] make a strong difference especially when combined with genderneutral housing… It sounds non-essential but it’s so inherent to completing the Duke experience, to feel welcome and wanted on campus and to feel like you can be a member of the Duke community.”

Nicholas Antonicci, director of the

CSGD, said that restrooms on Duke’s campus which accommodate one person at a time and can be locked should not be gendered.

“The bathrooms that are being converted have the same equipment—a toilet, a sink and a lock. There’s nothing that’s inherently different about them aside from the sign on their door,” he said. “The more we can lessen gendered spaces on campus, the more we can create inclusion for transgender and gender non-conforming people.”

Antonicci explained that not having gender-neutral facilities in a See GENDER-NEUTRAL on Page 16

Greek-affiliated students fare better in DSG elections Likhitha Butchireddygari The Chronicle Joining a Greek organization may not only give you “sisters for life” but also a ticket to a successful Duke Student Government campaign.

In February, senior Ilana Weisman, vice president for equity and outreach at the time and this year’s executive vice president, conducted a demographics survey of DSG, showing that 56 percent of last year’s DSG members are Greek-affiliated and 24 percent are members of selective living groups. During the most recent election, 35 percent of candidates were Greekaffiliated, 25 percent were SLG-affiliated and an additional 10 percent were affiliated with both types of organizations.

“I think affiliated students can have an advantage in personality—often times gregarious, involved—and reach at Duke as their social circles can be expansive,” DSG president Tara Bansal, a senior, wrote in an email. “Moreover, being part of a community (in my case, ‘sisterhood’) where supporting one another is considered a tenet and value of the group is a unique benefit to affiliated groups.”

According to the Duke Student Affairs website, approximately 34 percent of Duke students are Greek-affiliated. From all DSG elections in the past year, 69 percent of DSG’s current elected members—including president, executive vice president, student organization funding committee chair, vice presidents and senators—are Greek-affiliated.

Of the newly-elected senators this year, only 24 percent are independent students. Of the four candidates who were in both Greek and SLG organizations, three were elected, compared to four out of 13 independent students that ran.

Graphic by Carolyn Sun | The Chronicle

“This conversation is a good opportunity for Duke students to think about the privilege implicit with being affiliated and how to neutralize rather than capitalize on that privilege, something I think is rarely talked about, and I humbly acknowledge I’ve only thought about recently,” Bansal wrote.

For a second year in a row, six of the seven DSG vice presidents are Greek-affiliated and the other is SLG-affiliated. In fact, the entire Executive Board this year is Greek or SLG-affiliated, except for sophomore Kushal Kadakia, DSG chief of staff, who is independent. He lost his bid for vice president for academic affairs to sophomore Sean Bissell, a member of Delta Tau Delta.

“While selectives definitely have a huge impact on who gets elected, they don’t really have any extra influence over the decisions

DSG makes more than any other group,” DSG Attorney General Annie Adair, a senior, wrote in an email. “If the change needs to made, we’ll make the change if we think it’s in the best interest of the student body.”

Bansal similarly explained that she believes few DSG decisions are directly hinged on identity markers such as race, gender, affiliation or wealth.

However, there might be one instance in which affiliations affected a DSG decision.

When the Senate was approving annual budgets for various student organizations, the mock trial budget was very controversial. Billy Silk, Trinity ‘16 and president of mock trial at the time, presented at the meeting to persuade senators that mock trial should receive more funding that SOFC originally allocated.

“I believe that some senators were

influenced by their connection to Billy Silk through the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity,” said sophomore Michael Gulcicek, senator for equity and outreach at the time.

However, junior Eddy Torgas—senator for residential life at the time—said that he believes that his connection with Billy Silk and AEPi minimally influenced the vote.

“I know Billy through both Mock Trial and our fraternity and I will admit I may have voted differently if I didn’t know Billy as much or if I had not been in Mock Trial and didn’t know firsthand what the money was going to,” Torgas wrote in an email Sunday. “That being said, I would like to think that the vast majority of the members of DSG, myself included, hold themselves to an ethical and moral standard that requires them to acknowledge any biases they may hold and to look beyond them in any decisions they make.”

Originally, senators voted for increased funding but later overturned that decision.

According to Weisman’s demographic study, Alpha Epsilon Pi is most represented fraternity in DSG. For the past four years, the DSG president has been Greek-affiliated. In the most recent presidential race, Adair—an independent student—lost by 51 votes to Bansal, a member of Alpha Phi sorority.

“Though I hate to say it, Greek and SLG affiliations dominate major elections and are the name of the game,” Adair wrote. “Anybody who says otherwise is lying. To win a major position—president, Young Trustee, EVP—in an opposed race necessitates the support of huge voting blocks of selective groups.”

In April, The Chronicle obtained evidence indicating that Alpha Phi awarded members a merit point for changing their Facebook See DSG ELECTIONS on Page 15

Grace Mok The Chronicle Fewer Duke students are choosing to attend law school after graduation, reflecting a national postrecession trend.

Gerald Wilson, a senior associate dean and the University’s prelaw advisor, estimated that the percentage of Duke graduates applying to law school has decreased from 20 percent to approximately 14 percent over the last four years. Thirty percent fewer students nationwide entered a private law school and 18 percent fewer students entered a public law school in 2009 than in 2015, according to the American Bar Association’s 2015 Report of the Task Force on Financing Legal Education.

Wilson attributed some of the decline to a changing market for lawyers, noting that technology is now able to perform tasks that lawyers used to do such as filing taxes.

He also indicated that the high cost of undergraduate education and law school was also a factor.

The Wall Street Journal reported last year that the average 2015 class graduate will have a debt of a little more than $35,000. According to the ABA report, the average debt for private law school students increased from $102,000 in the 2005-06 academic year to $127,000 in the 2012-13 academic year.

“I try to make students aware of the realities of law school and the job market and also financing law school,” Wilson said. “I just want people to make realistic choices.”

Due to financial pressures, many students take one or two years off to work in the private sector or for non-governmental organizations, noted Joseph Grieco, a professor of political science who teaches a course on international law. Because of this, fewer students commit early to going to law school, he said.

When Grieco taught his international law course in 2009, he said that about 60 percent of his students were prelaw compared to the current 30 percent.

To advise students on financing law school, Wilson provides students with a guide book called Financing Your Legal Education: A Guide to Understanding the Cost of Law School and How to Pay for It from the Access Group in addition to a compilation of websites on loans. Wilson also invites Stephen Brown— associate dean of enrollment at Fordham University School of Law—for an annual workshop on financing law school.

The Duke Law School has also responded to applicants’ financial concerns, said William Hoye, associate dean of admissions and student affairs for the Duke Law School.

“We have been very aggressive in raising money for our scholarship endowments that have allowed us to greatly increase our reserves of scholarship funding,” he said.

Wilson said he tries to be frank about students’ chances at admission to specific law schools and pitches alternatives when necessary. Similarly, he attempts to discourage students from applying to law school unless they are certain about the choice, he said.

“If you’re not absolutely sure that law school is something you want—don’t go,” Wilson said. “And don’t go to any graduate school until you have a real reason for going.”

Duke does not designate specific courses as prelaw or have specific legal majors, a trait shared by many of its peer institutions. Of the 35 member institutions belonging to the Consortium of Financing Higher Education, 28 do not have majors, minors, certificate programs or concentrations specifically relating to law.

These schools—like Duke—echo the ABA’s guidelines, which “do not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education.”

Eight universities in the consortium, however, do offer academic programs specific to the law— Mount Holyoke College, Northwestern University, Oberlin College, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, Washington University in St. Louis and Williams College.

These institutions, however, do not necessarily formally designate these academic programs as prelaw nor do these programs run the duration of a students’ four years. “[These programs] certainly [don’t] harm one’s chances, I can’t say [they] would necessarily be seen See LAW SCHOOL on Page 15

New club trains service dogs on Duke’s campus Claire Ballentine The Chronicle Students could be adding puppyraising to their list of extracurricular activities this year.

During the Spring semester, junior Erin Weingarten founded a Duke chapter of Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit organization that trains and provides service dogs to people with disabilities. Since March, she has been raising a service dog named Carson.

Although she is currently the only Duke student raising a dog through CCI, Weingarten explained that she hopes to expand the organization and expects there to be two or three more service dogs raised through the Duke CCI starting in the Fall semester.

“It is so amazing what these highly skilled dogs can do and how great of an impact they can have on people’s lives,” Weingarten wrote in an email.

Through CCI, volunteers commit to training the dogs—which are provided by the organization’s breeders—for 18 months in socialization and obedience. Weingarten explained that she has introduced about 15 commands to Carson so far and plans to teach him a total of 30. These range from “sit” and “down” to “under,” which instructs dogs to lie under a table or object until commanded to move.

Weingarten noted that she also must teach Carson to not be distracted by other dogs, people or noise. To do this, she frequently exposes him to highly distracting environments such as parks and stores, where they practice training.

“Most importantly, everything has to

be fun,” she wrote. “I always want Carson to be having the time of his life as he works so he will love his job of helping his future person.”

Weingarten explained that she first got the idea for starting a chapter of CCI when she met Austin Allen—a graduate student of the Nicholas School of the Environment— who was raising a service dog at the Duke Marine Lab. After his brother experienced a traumatic brain injury five years ago and then received a service dog that greatly helped him, Allen said he decided to raise one of his own.

“I wanted to pay it forward to a child or

adult with a disability because I saw how much a service dog did for my brother,” he said.

Allen explained that he has been training his dog named Martin for 13 months. He added the first few months were tricky with a heavy focus on potty-training and basic obedience behaviors, but as Martin got older, Allen was able to take him out more to busy locations like restaurants.

Martin accompanied Allen when he walked across the stage during this year’s graduation weekend to receive his master’s degree in environmental management, Allen said. Martin even received a makeshift hood during the hooding ceremony.

Allen also praised the work that Weingarten is doing for CCI on Duke’s campus.

“She moved mountains to get it approved at the main campus, and that was really awesome to see,” he said.

Weingarten noted that convincing Housing, Dining and Residence Life to allow her to raise a service dog was no easy task.

After four long months of meetings, phone calls and emails, she explained that they finally agreed to allow her to raise her dog in her Central Campus apartment.

Dean for Residential Life Joe Gonzalez explained that this year served as a “pilot program” to see if HRDL would want to allow all students the opportunity to raise service dogs on campus.

“Anytime you introduce animals, it’s important to pause and make sure this is a good idea for everyone involved,” Gonzalez said.

Because of this, students are currently only allowed to raise service dogs in their Central Campus apartments because they have their own entrances. However, Weingarten is working towards getting the pups in training permission to live on West Campus as well.

“If every organization decided to ban service dogs in training from residing in their areas, there would be no raisers to train these dogs that go on to benefit so many,” she wrote.

Weingarten wrote that she has faced additional challenges, including learning how to manage her time and class schedule around taking care of Carson. She noted that she often had to compromise sleep in the beginning.

Students raise concerns about incorrect dietary labels Rob Palmisano The Chronicle The inaccurate dietary labeling of food options on campus has become a widespread problem this year.

Junior Courtney Scoufis—co-director of Fix My Campus, a Facebook page that allows students to express concerns about campus problems and connects them to student action groups, staff and administrators—said that the organization received an average of two posts a week about food labeling concerns during the 2015-16 academic year.

“I’ve been on Fix My Campus for two years now, and I think this year in particular we’ve received a lot of complaints,” she said.

However, a rise in the number of complaints in Fix My Campus does not necessarily indicate that inaccurate dietary labeling has just now become a problem, she said. She noted that she believes the labeling situation on campus has actually improved significantly, but that it is becoming a greater priority because students are speaking up about it.

“If students don’t reach out, then [vendors] might go completely unaccountable, and that can be a very dangerous situation,” she said.

Junior Savannah Lynn expressed her concern in Fix My Campus after recognizing that a salad in Von der Heyden Pavilion should not have been labeled vegan because it contained goat cheese.

Lynn said that although she

understands that mistakes happen, consistently labeling on-campus food options accurately is a necessity.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for so long, and after a while, it’s hard for your body to regain the ability to digest animal and meat products,” she said.

Robert Coffey, director of dining services, also acknowledged the need for correct labeling. He explained that Duke Dining oversees a quality assurance program of unannounced inspections and “mystery” shoppers made up of Duke students, faculty and staff to check on all on-campus operations multiple times a semester.

“We take [our customers’] safety very seriously,” Coffey wrote in an email.

“It is of course vitally important that labeling for those with food allergies and intolerances is accurate.”

Lynn also noted she once had to call Duke Emergency Medical Services for a friend because of a dietary restriction issue.

She said she believes such incidents could be more easily prevented if a singular source of nutrition facts and ingredient information for all food options on campus was available.

According to Coffey, Duke Dining recently partnered with a web-based food management and nutrition system called CBORD that will serve this purpose.

He explained that the system will provide customers all Duke Dining on-campus operations with menus, ingredients, allergen information and lifestyle information—including vegan, vegetarian, local, organic and several others—with the option of filtering

“We found our jobs at The Chronicle through Duke List!”

online menu items by any of these preferences.

Lauren Forman, Trinity ’16, said that because Duke Dining is able to provide ingredient lists and lifestyle classifications for all on-campus food options, she expects labels to be completely accurate.

Forman—who noticed that a nonvegan soup that had been mislabeled once before on the Penn Pavilion menu was still mislabeled a month later— noted that even though she is not vegan or vegetarian, she would rather vendors claim they cannot guarantee a particular food option’s classification than incorrectly identify it.

“It think it’s particularly an issue when others take full confidence in those labels who have dietary restrictions,” Forman said.

She said that although correct labeling of vegan and vegetarian products is commonly considered a “first-world problem,” she thinks that it is principally important for labels to be correct because professionals are being paid to perform this work and parents are paying for their children to be able to choose from correctly labeled food options.

Scoufis noted that all complaints from Fix My Campus are used to create workable objectives in an online spreadsheet that members of FMC focus on.

Fix My Campus has a member assigned specifically to dining, who establishes necessary relationships and contacts to fix the problems noted by students, she explained.

Coffey wrote that Duke Dining and the Duke University Student Dining

Special to The Chronicle Students have used the Fix My Campus Facebook page to express their frustration with incorrect food labels on campus.

Advisory Committee appreciate having Fix My Campus as another avenue for customer feedback to help monitor concerns and compliments at Duke Dining locations.

He noted that he encourages students to meet with managers at dining places they frequent so they have familiar faces to express their feedback and concerns.

“The goal is not to single anyone out, but rather to create an ongoing open dialogue where students feel confident asking for and receiving accurate information and reporting any issues they see,” Coffey wrote.

Durham residents upset with noise on campus Neelesh Moorthy The Chronicle Duke has taken steps to reduce the disturbance that campus activities create for its Durham neighbors, but not everyone is satisfied.

Some neighbors have complained that noise emanating from the University’s activities—on-campus concerts, sporting events or Duke-sponsored construction— makes it difficult to live nearby. However, not everyone in the Durham community agrees, and the University has also taken steps to work with community members to mitigate the problem.

“We’re neighbors and we should act neighborly,” said Laura Drey, a resident of Cranford Road who has complained about noise from Duke’s campus. “Duke is not a good neighbor.”

Drey explained that noise coming from on-campus events has significantly reduced her quality of life—making her unable to enjoy her back porch or be outside when music is coming from campus—to the point that she now plans to move.

Specifically, Drey said she feels the University does not give its neighbors fair advance warning about when concerts or sporting events on campus might create noise spillovers. She also noted that Duke concerts often violate Durham’s noise ordinances—which prohibit unduly loud music after 11 p.m. and before 7 a.m.

“Duke exists within Durham, so what applies to Durham residents and businesses applies to Duke,” Drey said.

However, not all of Duke’s neighbors share Drey’s point of view. William

Lesley Chen-Young | The Chronicle Durham residents living near Duke have expressed complaints about the noise from construction projects and campus activities.

Slebos, a resident of Cranford Road for 13 years, said that for ten years noise coming from West Campus was a “horrible problem” but that it has ceased within the past two years.

“I don’t have any noise complaints anymore,” he said.

Slebos noted that prior to the past two years, events on Duke’s campus would regularly violate noise ordinances by continuing after 11 p.m. However, once he and other community members were able to get in touch with administrators— Larry Moneta, vice president for student

affairs, and Associate Dean of Students Clay Adams—Duke began following the ordinances, Slebos explained.

In an email obtained by The Chronicle from September 2012, Moneta emailed Drey promising to abide by the noise ordinances and that “concerts will no longer continue beyond 11 p.m.”

Drey said that the University has done a better job of complying, but that it still often falls short and needs to communicate better with neighbors.

Slebos, however, disagreed.

Slebos noted the existence of an “off-

campus stakeholder” listserv that Adams uses to email residents in advance about potentially disturbing noise—such as Old Duke, the Last Day of Classes Concert or even move-in day. Slebos added that the University has rarely failed to give sufficient notice once this system was implemented. He added that noise from a college campus is to be expected and that residents who are sensitive to noise should choose not to live nearby.

Phail Wynn, vice president of Durham and regional affairs, wrote in an email that “it would be difficult to be in Durham and not know about [sporting events]” given their wide promotion in the community.

John Vandenberg, an adjunct professor in the division of environmental sciences and policy who also lives on Cranford, noted that hearing sporting events are for him one of the reasons many neighbors choose to live near a university campus.

“I’ve lived here for 31 years, and it’s part of the benefit of living at a campus, and I kind of like it actually,” he said.

Drey noted that she would like to see more of an effort from Duke to get public input from the community before making decisions—for example, concerning lighting at sporting events— rather than just informing neighbors ahead of time.

However, City Council member Don Moffitt said such negotiation would be challenging because of the lack of a uniform opinion among Durham neighbors.

Critics of state bill seek access to police body cam footage Sarah Kerman The Chronicle Although body cameras worn by police officers have become common, questions still remain about public access to the footage in North Carolina.

Duke University Police Department has deployed body cameras since August 2015. Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaugh noted that all Duke police officers are required to use cameras when they respond to a call for service, which is university protocol. After each shift, the footage from the bodyworn cameras is downloaded onto secure, proprietary storage, he explained. However, the ability of the public to access the footage from the cameras once Chronicle File Photo stored is limited.

“Access to the images is controlled to protect All Duke University Police Department officers are required to community members’ privacy and are not considered use body cameras when they respond to a call for service.

public records,” Cavanaugh wrote in an email.

Whether members of the public should be given access to recordings of incidents they took part in is currently under review in the state legislature. In the North Carolina General Assembly’s short session this Spring, legislation that would provide guidance to local law enforcement agencies on this issue surfaced.

House Bill 972, which was proposed in the short session, contains language noting that recordings from body cameras are not public records. The bill would give the head of local law enforcement agencies the power to determine whether to disclose a recording to the person requesting the footage.

Some critics of the legislation worry that its guidelines for release are not specific enough. They argue that allowing local law enforcement discretion could impede transparency. “[House Bill 972] allows for a lot of discretion with the law enforcement agencies to ultimately make the decision, which I think is just going to cause them to do what they’ve been doing, which is to not release the recordings when they are of public value or of public interest,” said Susannah Birdsong, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina.

Birdsong noted that gaining public access to body cameras has been difficult in North Carolina because local law enforcement agencies limit access to records that are relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation or an officer’s performance evaluation.

If the footage is being used to evaluate an officer, it becomes part of the officer’s personnel file, which is confidential and protected under state law. North Carolina’s personnel records law is broad compared to other states, which is why local law enforcement officials have called for clarification on the protocol, especially on the personnel records point, Birdsong noted.

“Should legislation be introduced, obviously we would fully comply,” Cavanaugh wrote.

Durham City Manager Tom Bonfield noted that the Durham City Council has postponed its purchasing decision for body-worn cameras until later this summer in order to allow for input from newly-selected Chief of Police Cerelyn Davis, who will begin her new role June 6.

“The big thing was the timing with the new police chief coming on board,” Bonfield said. “We wanted to give her an opportunity to weigh in because ultimately she will own the implementation and deployment, so she should be a part of the decision process.”

Bonfield noted that the uncertainty about the General Assembly’s policy decision in regards to the body cameras is another factor that delayed Durham’s decision.

“Depending on whether they adopt the state-wide policy or not, we would have to go back and kind of compare what was in the state-wide policy versus what was in some of our drafts associated with that,” he said. “We expect they will be done with their work by the time this comes back up at the end of the summer as well.”

Bonfield added that discussions about Durham’s body camera policy have mainly centered around technology— particularly storage of the footage, such as whether to adopt a server-based or cloud-based model.

He noted that he anticipates finalizing purchasing information in early August, as soon as the City Council returns from its summer break.

‘Social justice leader’ Schewel has also pursued Durham’s interests on various governmental bodies—including the DPS Board of Education from 2004 to 2008 and the Durham City Council starting 2011 and continuing today.

When running to be on the BOE, Schewel said he was interested in the question of how to provide 30,000 students with a good education while combatting poverty, which afflicted many families in DPS. Schewel noted that finding community partners willing to work with the school system and support its students is of the utmost importance.

“It’s not a secret how you provide a good education,” Schewel said. “You have a great teacher in every classroom, with plenty of administrative support, excellent social services support and really good facilities. It just takes the support of the community. “ Getting such support—especially financial—was difficult, he said, as middle-class parents often head to private schools and take their capital with them.

To help the districts, Schewel helped create the nonprofit Crayons2Calculators—which operates a free warehouse where DPS teachers can come and get school supplies—in 2006 with the help of Duke students.

LAW SCHOOL from page 4 as a strong plus factor,” Hoye said. “One doesn’t need to study law as an undergraduate in order to do well studying law in a professional program.“ In addition, Bowdoin College and University of Pennsylvania offer B.A./J.D. programs that allow students to apply to law school early. Cornell University offers a summer prelaw program in New York City, and Oberlin College offers a year-long program on the law.

While Hoye acknowledged the appeal of these programs to students who want to reduce the amount of time spent in undergraduate, he also noted that because law schools and employers value the experience and maturity of older applicants, Duke is currently not interested in offering a B.A./J.D. program.

“Encouraging students to come to law school at an earlier age is, at this point, not something we would probably be interested in doing, though we are certainly not ruling it out,” Hoye said.

Wilson explained that the lack of a specific prelaw academic curriculum at Duke is not a setback to students considering a legal career.

“Take what you want, major in whatever you want, do it well,” Wilson said. “Learn to think both analytically and synthetically. And learn to communicate, especially written communication.”

He added a recommendation that prelaw students take macroeconomics, microeconomics and accounting, but emphasized that these courses are not required for law school admissions and are simply very helpful from his point of view.

Because there is no set curriculum, Duke does not have a strong prelaw social community, former prelaw students said.

“Without classes, there’s really not much in the undergraduate atmosphere to base a whole community around,” said Katherine Coric, Trinity ‘16, who will be attending New York University School of Law this Fall.

Lauren Moxley, Trinity ‘12 and a 2015 graduate of Harvard Law School, also noted that the only prelaw community she experienced at Duke came about during the application process.

However, Moxley explained that the lack of community was not a disadvantage.

“A lot of it has to come from yourself,” Moxley said.

“The LSAT for example—you need to do what you need to do to get motivated.”

Coric noted that doing specially law-related classes or activities is not necessary to enter law school. “[My internships] were definitely the only lawrelated thing I added to my life,” Coric said.

Though Duke might not have a strong social prelaw community, Coric explained that Duke does have an

www.dukechronicle.com

undergraduate prelaw society called Bench and Bar. Bench and Bar president Jacqui Geerdes, a senior, said the organization aims to help prelaw students get ready for law school.

“We help prelaw students at Duke find resources to help them prepare for law schools. Sometimes we’ll bring in companies that do free practice LSAT tests,” Geerdes said. “We help students figure out if law is something they’re interested in.”

Coric also noted that Duke does have courses relating to law, even if they are not formally designated prelaw.

Kip Frey—professor of the practice of public policy and law and director of the law and entrepreneurship program—teaches a course on intellectual property law and policy. He said that although many prelaw students take his course, it is still not formally prelaw.

“Having taken some law classes, I felt like I had a really good grasp of what a law class was going to look like,” said Lauren Goldsmith, Trinity ‘09 and a 2016 graduate of University of California, Berkeley’s J.D/Ph.D program. “I took a constitutional law class [at Duke] and as a law student it was essentially the same format and the same style of teaching for the most part.”

While doing well academically is important, Wilson also noted that he encourages students to take interesting and stimulating courses.

“You are cheating yourself if you don’t take good, challenging courses that are of interest to you,” Wilson said. “And within reason, take professors, don’t take courses. That’s where you’re going to really learn.”

For example, Goldsmith—soon-to-be associate in the litigation practice at international law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP—said she wonders how her career might have been different had she completed her math and science requirements earlier in her academic career and discovered her interest in those subjects earlier.

She noted that science majors can take the patent bar and become patent lawyers.

Wilson estimated that about 10 percent of prelaw students at Duke studied engineering.

“There are a lot of opportunities for people from all walks of life, academically speaking,” Goldsmith said.

“I’ve been in classes with people who have Ph.D’s in chemistry, engineering, biology and literature. As long as you went to a school that’s rigorous academically, you can do well in law school.”

“We are especially interested in students who come from STEM majors because we know that there will be so many more legal jobs developing in the future that will require really technical skills,” said Hoye.

In addition to STEM majors, he also mentioned economics and finance as fields that would allow applicants to both be competitive for employment and adaptive to emerging industries.

Goldsmith also defended Duke’s lack of a prelaw curriculum, noting that it prevents homogeneity.

“You don’t want everyone coming out of Duke

SERVICE DOGS from page 6 dependent on me,” Weingarten wrote.

She noted that figuring out how to pay for Carson’s care also posed problems for her. After several weeks of searching for donations, Weingarten arranged for veterinarian Jody Katz from Lake Pine Animal Hospital in Apex to sponsor Carson’s veterinary care. Henry Schien, a veterinary supplies distributor, also donated a care package filled with items such as flea medications and dog toothpaste.

Weingarten explained that although she will be sad when she has to give up Carson after his training is complete, she is excited for him to be able to help others.

“Everyone always asks me how I could possibly give him up,” she wrote. “I always tell them that he is far too smart to be wasted on me.”

Knowing that Carson will go on to change the life of someone in need is the most rewarding part, Weingarten added.

“It will make me the proudest mommy ever when I see him making a real difference and helping someone live independently,” she wrote.

DSG ELECTIONS from page 3 profile or cover picture to support Bansal’s bid for president, which Alpha Phi President Akahne Philpot later confirmed.

Eighty-two girls were each awarded a point for their efforts.

“It’s disappointing to see there was a structured system to incentivize members of a group into publicly supporting a candidate from their own organization,” Adair wrote.

“I hope practices like this cease to exist for the sake of independent candidates.”

Philpot, however, wrote in an email that the points were retroactively awarded.

“Many girls in Alpha Phi were happy to support Tara, and we’re really proud of her,” Philpot wrote. “The point is more of an aftermath regarding a show of sisterhood and less of an incentive.”

Bansal noted that the lessened success for independent students should galvanize them to become more involved in DSG. “I would emphasize that this conversation is not meant to discourage independent students from joining DSG—rather a call to action for more independent students to run and vote,” Bansal wrote.

GENDER-NETURAL from page 1 building may cause anxiety for some students about where they can go to the bathroom and may force them to travel to another building.

“They could end up being late to class. Having gender-neutral bathrooms in buildings goes a long way in terms of supporting somebody being on campus for educational reasons and allowing them to succeed and strive,” he added.

Weisman explained that last year she realized Duke had few gender-neutral bathrooms on campus and that she initially advocated for the designation of genderneutral facilities in the new Student Health and Wellness Center. However, her focus then shifted towards changing the signage on every other single-stall restroom on campus, she said.

DSG’s committee on equity and outreach, along with members of BDU’s policy and advocacy branch, led building walkthroughs in Fall 2015 to identify every single-stall bathroom on campus and in the professional schools, wrote BDU president Steven Soto, a senior.

They created a comprehensive list of existing single-stall bathrooms along with their current designations and signage.

Some of these facilities were exclusively designated male or female but most of the bathrooms they identified were technically already gender-neutral, with either the insignia of both the man stick figure and the woman stick figure or with a “unisex” label, Weisman explained.

She noted that the project will replace the existing signage on certain bathrooms with the new label. This gender-neutral signage—developed in partnership with student groups and administrative offices—features only an image of toilet, with the wheelchair symbol also included for those facilities

that are handicap-accessible.

“We didn’t want to use any images of people because those can reinforce traditional gender norms which is counterintuitive to what we want to do,” Weisman said. “The Facilities Management office was looking into what other universities had. The thinking was that [this option] was the most universal, most accessible version that also fell in line with what our peer institutions would do.”

Although Weisman said the student groups only had “loose commitment” from administrators in the Fall in their efforts to relabel bathrooms, the project picked up speed in this year.

“I definitely think House Bill 2 happening upped the priority level for the University,” she said.

The passage of HB2 in North Carolina in March revoked a Charlotte ordinance, thereby restricting bathroom use to a person’s “biological sex,” and banned local governments from creating their own anti-discrimination policies. Weisman added that HB2 gave the students “strong leverage” with the University’s offices because she pointed out that Duke had the opportunity to take a stand on the issue.

Soto noted, however, that the student groups’ efforts were not a reaction to HB2 because they started the project last year.

Although a Duke Today article about the project said that gender-neutral bathrooms will only be designated in those buildings that already have single-stall restrooms and that no construction of new bathrooms will take place, Weisman noted that she aims to place gender-neutral facilities in every University building.

Currently, buildings without singlestall restrooms include CIEMAS, Wilson Gym, Brodie Gym and several buildings

on East Campus.

“The ultimate goal is all buildings, particularly in the construction of new buildings,” Weisman said. “I hope that it becomes a priority to do new construction [of gender-neutral facilities], but I’m really happy with the progress that’s going to be made with the simple changing of signs.”

Restrooms of the highest priority will be receiving the new gender-neutral signage first, she explained. Four singlestall restrooms in the Allen Building and two in the Bryan Center have already been relabeled.

“I’m really excited about the change,” Antonicci said. “I think ensuring that we have gender-neutral bathrooms in all buildings, especially new buildings, will be an important next step. Of course, bathrooms are just one small part of the equation for inclusion of trans and gendernonconforming people on campus.”

Soto also wrote that although genderneutral bathrooms should be important to the community, Duke still has “a long way to go in order to ensure the safety of transidentifying people on campus,” especially given the controversial HB2.

“What we must remember is that LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff are forced to exist on a campus where Pride flags are ripped down and heterosexism is deeply rooted,” he wrote.

Weisman and Soto said that DSG and BDU will continue to work with administrators throughout the process of designating gender-neutral facilities on campus.

“In the broader community, I hope it encourages conversation and more acceptance of diverse gender diversities or of folks who might need assistance,” Weisman said. “You can only hope that having a tangible change encourages a broader cultural change.”

NOISE COMPLAINTS from page 11 with the neighbors, which neighbors?,” Moffitt asked. “At what point do we say they’ve met their standard. I’m not sure what that looks like.”

Apart from on-campus noise, however, neighbors have also expressed concern with construction near Duke’s campus. Both Vandenberg and Slebos agreed this could still be a disturbance— especially during breaks when students are not on campus.

Drey noted that construction vehicles have been heard as early as 2:30 a.m., violating noise ordinances. She also said that the clear-cutting of trees, for example near the University’s Stream and Wetland Assessment Management Park off West Campus, makes noise more problematic.

Curtis Richardson, director of the University’s Wetland Center, said that the trees have been replanted and are in the process of growing back to full height.

In multiple emails obtained by The Chronicle, David Bowden, a resident of Green Street near East Campus, wrote administrators with concerns about the new softball field under construction—including noise, traffic and parking impacts.

Wynn wrote that the University met with the residents of the Trinity Heights and Trinity Park neighborhood associations in January to discuss the softball field and noted that the city of Durham’s permitting process includes a “public comment” period as well.

In an email to Bowden obtained

by The Chronicle, Patrick Young, assistant director for development at the Durham City-County Planning Department, confirmed that public hearings prior to zoning approval were

advertised via direct mail and newspaper advertisements.

Ultimately, Moneta said that although the University will listen to neighbors’ concerns, there is a limit to what it can change besides continuing to ensure compliance with Durham’s laws.

“One of the realities is that there are extraordinary benefits that come from living near a university campus, and there are also occasions when living near a campus involves tolerating such noise,” Moneta said.

SCHEWEL from page 14 in supplies, Schewel said.

Schewel was part of a trio who joined the BOE in 2004 along with current board member Minnie Forte-Brown and current chair Heidi Carter.

“We were not looked favorably upon, coming in together with the same ideological bent,” Forte-Brown said. “But that was what Durham deserved—better leadership and governance in order to move the needle.”

Forte-Brown noted that she had known Schewel since they had both helped students transition to college at North Carolina Central University’s Academic Skills Center. She described him best as a “social justice leader.”

Among the goals Schewel and others advocated for was lowering dropout rates, creating an early-college high school for firstgeneration students and focusing on highneed students and equity considerations.

Many of these were included in the board’s “theory of action”—of which Schewel was the primary writer, Forte-Brown said.

All this at a time when there was disharmony on the board and resistance to change, Schewel said.

Forte-Brown noted that the trio aimed to move past these issues by fostering community conversations and seeking out information—for example, through “red carpet events” that invited parents to dine with board members.

Giving back to Duke While juggling all of these endeavors, Schewel has also come full circle and served as a professor at Duke since 2000. He has taught various courses on topics such as the Vietnam War, terrorism and the relationship between national security and privacy.

Currently, Schewel teaches a course titled “Leadership, Policy and Change,” which focuses on social engineering and social movements. Along with experiential aspects, Schewel said he aims to expose his students to a wide variety of sources.

“I believe that the best education is 15 students in a classroom with a professor and a lot of fabulous books and films.

In that course in particular, I use a lot of history, some fiction, some psychology and some current journalism.”

Junior Lisa Guraya, who took Schewel’s class last semester, noted that Schewel was remarkably detailed in providing students with comments on their work so they could really understand where a grade came from.

She also said that Schewel made students think carefully and precisely about the words they used before sharing their thoughts, often pressing them further and for more detail.

“A lot of times people say things to hear themselves talk, and he kind of taught us to think before you say anything,” she said.

City Council member Don Moffitt agreed with Guraya in noting Schewel’s attention to detail—which he said Schewel exhibits in his council work by diving into the information “more than anyone has any right to expect.”

“If we’re presented with an ocean of material, I might stay 10 feet at the top, and Steve’s out there scuba-diving at 50 feet,” Moffitt said.

A three-tier platform Schewel identified three key concerns that drive his agenda on the city council and might drive a potential mayoral campaign.

First, Durham must fight for fair police forces that are free from discrimination, he said. To this end, Schewel and the council now require that officers obtain written consent before conducting vehicle searches.

The council has also been working on finalizing a body camera policy—which Schewel said he expects will allow anyone captured on video to be able to view the recording. In addition, it would allow an independent review body to decide when and how video gets released publicly.

Second, Schewel noted that Durham needs to work towards affordable housing as greater demand raises housing prices in Durham. One of the initiatives Schewel is most proud of, he said, is Durham’s almost-completed goal of ending homelessness for veterans. He is currently working to compile a list of properties that could be eligible for affordable housing tax-credits or subsidies.

Third, Durham needs to become healthier and more attractive for residents, he said. Some of Schewel’s many ideas on this front included more sidewalks, more ball fields, more bicycle infrastructure and a tree canopy equitably distributed over the city.

Should he run for mayor, Schewel noted that he hopes to continue these discussions with individual community residents as he has while serving on the council.

“I really like talking to people about the city and its future,” Schewel said. “I like the one-to-one.”

West Union to open for sports camp participants Claire Ballentine and Samantha Neal The Chronicle The amenities of the renovated West Union will soon be available to some.

Bill McCraw, project manager for the West Union, wrote in an email that Monday is the opening date for the Great Hall and Cambridge Inn in West Union, which has been closed since July 2013. The eateries in these venues will be serving food for students attending sports camps during the summer months, said Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs.

“They won’t be featuring menus for students that they will in Fall, but we will be cooking in them,” Moneta said.

Announced last September, the West Union vendors will be Three Seasoning Catering, Sushinara, Saladelia, Au Bon Pain, Campus Coffee of Durham, Enzo’s Pizza, Sitar Indian Palace, Geer Street Garden and The Boot.

However, Moneta noted that open venues in West Union will only be serving simple menus for camp residents. The restaurants will begin featuring their specialized menus once students return to campus in the Fall.

Duke students on campus for summer session classes will not be able to eat at West Union, he explained.

“This is the summer in which we’re transitioning,” Moneta said.

He said the University’s goal is for the entire West Union to be fully operational by the start of the Fall semester.

The last venue to open in West Union will be ABP, which is moving from the Bryan Center. Moneta explained that

Melanie Park | The Chronicle The Great Hall and Cambridge Inn in the West Union, which has been closed for renovations since July 2013, will open Monday and will serve food for sports camp participants this summer.

ABP could potentially open later than the other venues—but that it would not be significantly delayed by more than a week.

ABP’s current location in the Bryan Center will become a study space, and Moneta said this transformation should be completed by the Fall as well.

McCraw noted that the project did not face any major problems, even though preserving many of West Union’s original structures built in the 1920s

proved to be a challenging task. Before work began, an intensive structural analysis had to be performed.

Although much of the original work has been preserved, there are many new openings and wider openings in the walls, McCraw explained.

“All the floors in the tower were removed to create public spaces with high ceilings,” he wrote. “It was a huge undertaking.”

In addition, the Great Hall and

Cambridge Inn now feature balconies supported by cables suspended from the existing rafters, he noted.

To perform all the construction work, McCraw wrote that the entire building had to be shored up to withstand the demolition of the interior core as well as the building of the new glass structures.

Moneta agreed that combining the See WEST UNION on Page 22

Middle-class parents upset by tuition increases Burness noted that a potential problem for Duke and peer institutions is the trend for programs to continue indefinitely even as they become less effective because universities often add new programs or facilities rather than terminating or repairing older ones.

“Everything always seems additive,” he said.

Roberts said that Duke’s use of tuition and endowment funds to increase the amount of money spent per student is one of the factors that makes it among the best schools in the world.

Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle Middle-class families paying the full cost of tuition at Duke say they are uniquely affected by recent tuition hikes at the University.

Administrators have said increases in tuition and mandatory fees—most recently a 3.8 percent increase announced in February raised Duke’s cost to $49,575—are offset by increases in financial aid packages. But middle class parents at Duke and its peer institutions, who may not qualify for any financial aid, are increasingly concerned about the rising costs.

“We rob the rich to help the poor and the ones in the middle are really getting neglected,” said Richard Vedder, director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity and distinguished professor economics emeritus at Ohio University. “The parents have every right to be concerned. There’s a huge amount of income redistribution going on.”

Parents at schools including Duke, Yale University and Northwestern University have started online petitions this year in opposition to tuition increases. The petition at Duke, which started in response to the February announcement, amassed more than 150 online signatories through a Facebook group for parents and students.

to cover their costs, there is a great deal of planning that goes into keeping the budget of each school balanced.

“It’s actually the same challenge year after year,” Roberts said. “When we raise tuition say 4 percent, 1 percent of that is going to go to aid, ‘The same challenge year after year’ so Arts and Sciences and Pratt have 3 percent Duke and its peers have little incentive to to work with. Their faculty salaries, on average, immediately address parents’ concerns as longs even if they give relatively modest increases, as application numbers, yield rate and student are going to consume most of that, and there and parent satisfaction remain high, said James are still many other essential cost increases that Roberts, Duke’s executive vice provost for have to be covered. The annual tuition increase finance and administration. does not cover the annual cost increase, and Roberts explained that despite popular that’s our ongoing challenge.” conjectures that the University comes up He said that during the process of financial with projects to finance then increases tuition planning within each school, administrators try to

balance three factors—financial aid, cost increases and program quality within the market.

John Burness, former senior vice president for public government affairs and public relations at Duke, noted that although Duke’s large endowment—valued at more than $7 billion—might seem like it could keep tuition costs from increasing, the endowment has constraints that limit how much money can be spent on financial aid.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the university’s future, Burness said, explaining that parents can look at programs such as DukeEngage, DukeImmerse and Bass Connections to see how the university uses funding to enhance the student experience.

‘You’re not going to Podunk U’ Roberts acknowledged rising tuition costs mean some families will be forced to pick different colleges if they cannot afford full tuition and are not offered financial aid, but he also said that the consumer price index— which measures inflation—is an average, and the high-priced talent pool at Duke and its peer institutions have to cost more than other goods and services.

“The cost of maintaining a nationally and internationally competitive talent pool at the faculty level and senior administrator pool is a cost factor that isn’t like buying bread and milk,” he said.

Burness said he did not see rates of tuition increase changing in the near future as long as families remain willing to pay the increased costs.

“I understand the concern that parents have, but at the end of the day you’re buying the Duke brand,” Burness said. “You’re not going to Podunk U, you’re going to a very good university.”

Vedder used the example of Harvard University and said that tuition in 1840 cost $60, or two-thirds of the median American annual income at the time, but its current tuition and

Chapel back to hosting weddings after year of renovations Jaime Gordon The Chronicle For many excited couples, the reopening of the Chapel means the renewed possibility of getting married at the heart of Duke’s campus.

After undergoing a year of renovations during which no weddings were able to take place, the Duke Chapel repened May 11. Blanche Williams, a wedding director at the Chapel, said that many couples postponed their marriage ceremony for a year in order to wed in the Chapel and are now taking advantage of the newly renovated space.

“We have a very full July,” Williams said.

Williams explained that the University gave the Chapel staff a “good heads-up” about the renovations, so no weddings were scheduled during the construction work.

She added that some florists, bakeries and other businesses near Duke have felt the effects of the lack of Chapel

weddings and are looking forward to their return.

Donna Parks, publisher and owner of Southern Bride and Groom magazine, wrote in an email that the beauty and historical significance of the Chapel make it a desirable wedding venue. Parks also noted that Durham has many beautiful reception venues and other businesses that are desirable to many couples.

“This area attracts great talent so you will find first class wedding planners, florists, musicians and rental companies that can help the couple create their dream,” Parks wrote. “All this comes with a hefty price tag and the average cost for a wedding both nationally and regionally is $28,000 to $30,000.”

The overall cost of using the Chapel as a ceremony space is $2,100. In an email to The Chronicle, Sara Clark—event and wedding coordinator for the Chapel—wrote that the Chapel welcomes same-sex weddings and weddings of any faith. Full-time staff, faculty, students, alumni and members of the Chapel’s congregation can book the space for

themselves, their children or their grandchildren.

Clark wrote that 65 to 80 couples get married in the chapel each year. In 2013, Duke Today estimated that 6,000 couples had been married in the Chapel since the first Chapel nuptials of Marion Noell Lyon, grandniece of James B. Duke, on April 8, 1933.

One couple eagerly anticipating their Chapel wedding is Matt Giegerich and Chelsea Mize, who both attended Duke from 2005 to 2009. The two met during their freshman Orientation Week and have been together “pretty much ever since.” Now screenwriting partners in Los Angeles, Giegerich and Mize said they wanted to get married in a location somewhere between their respective hometowns in New York and Florida.

The couple was already engaged when the Chapel renovations began in 2015. However, after they decided that the Chapel was the right location for their ceremony, they chose to wait an extra year and use the time for more wedding planning.

In order to get married in the Chapel, couples must secure their wedding date a year in advance. According to a document from Chapel staff, a wedding coordinator is available starting at 8:30 a.m. on the first business day of each month to book weddings for that month in the following year.

Because of this stringent application process, many couples tent in front of the Chapel leading up to this day in order to ensure that they can book their ideal date.

“I didn’t know exactly how it worked, but we knew that it was a thing,” Mize said “I think some people are terrified of tenting, but it just felt very Duke to us.”

Because of their busy careers, Giegerich and Mize said that it would have been difficult for them both to tent.

However, according to Chapel rules, the bride and groom do not have to be present to sign-up for their wedding date—anyone can do so in their stead.

Giegerich and Mize utilized three student proxies who waited outside of the Chapel from a Friday morning to a Wednesday morning. Giegerich described the willingness of students’ to help them out as “clear indicator of the Duke support.”

One of the couple’s student helpers was junior Carly Bandt, who saw their request on the All Duke Facebook page. Bandt noted the sense of community that emerged between the group tenting for wedding dates.

“The core group of tenters were all very supportive and grew quite close by the end,” Bandt wrote in an email.

“That was probably the best thing about the experience— that the couples were just so passionate about Duke and their marriage that the tenting itself did not require strict enforcement by ‘line monitors’ or a handbook; everyone was in it together.”

Giegerich and Mize will wed in the Chapel July 30.

“We love Duke and we’re excited to get married there,” Giegrich said.

Bandt noted that marrying in the Chapel is a special experience for many couples who have connections to Duke.

“Not only is the Chapel beautiful, but it is also such an iconic symbol of Duke,” Bandt wrote. “Many of the couples tenting had met at Duke, so perhaps marrying at the heart of campus is a way of solidifying the relationship at its roots.”

Faculty praise Brodhead’s leadership in past decade Vir Patel The Chronicle As Duke’s presidential search committee begins looking for President Richard Brodhead’s successor, faculty reflect on his lasting legacy and influence.

Brodhead—who worked for 32 years at Yale University before assuming his position as president of Duke—was chosen as the successor for President Nannerl Keohane in 2004. Since then, he has focused on advancing Duke’s reputation as a worldwide leader in higher education through his emphasis on institutional advancement, globalization and attracting a broader range of faculty and students, wrote John Burness—visiting professor of the

practice in the Sanford School of Public Policy and former senior vice president for public affairs and government relations—in an email.

Under Brodhead’s leadership, the University has seen the launch of DukeEngage—a global and national outreach program—in 2007 along with the Duke Forward fundraising campaign in 2012. Brodhead’s tenure was also marked by negative national attention from the Duke lacrosse case in 2006 and from the research misconduct case involving Anil Potti, a physician who previously served on the Duke faculty. Despite the ups and downs of his career, however, several of Brodhead’s colleagues said they are proud of his accomplishments as president and are optimistic regarding his lasting influence.

“I think under President Keohane’s leadership, Duke [first] moved into the top echelons of US and world universities,” wrote Prasad Kasibhatla, professor of environmental chemistry at the Nicholas School of the Environment and member of the presidential search committee in 2003, in an email.

“President Brodhead has solidified and enhanced Duke’s standing in this regard... I will be sad to see President Brodhead step down, but his legacy will endure in the years to come.”

In June 2003, the presidential search committee that sought Keohane’s successor—headed by Robert Steel, vice chair of the Board of Trustees at the time—released a Criteria and Qualifications Statement to direct its search. In the statement, the committee emphasized finding a candidate who

could, among other items, build upon Duke’s developing collaborative academic culture, growing international presence and advances in minority representation and social progress.

Both Kasibhatla and Burness wrote that Brodhead has tackled his goals as president through his focus on “knowledge in the service of society.”

“President Brodhead’s signature theme of ‘knowledge in the service of society’ has served to shape Duke’s teaching and research missions, and I think has been extremely positive in defining the core essence of what Duke should be,” Kasibhatla wrote.

Burness added that Brodhead’s future for Duke became evident early

in his career with the launch of a new fundraising campaign for student financial aid in 2007. Over the course of a year, the effort reached its goal of raising over $300 million—funds that were later used to support students in undergraduate and postgraduate study programs at Duke. “[This initiative] took on real importance for students and the University when the economy collapsed in 2008,” Burness wrote. “Although Provost Lange and Executive Vice President Trask played major roles, I do not think [Brodhead] gets sufficient credit for leading Duke’s emergence See BRODHEAD on Page 21

First Washington Duke Scholars prepare for arrival Katherine Berko The Chronicle In just under three months, Duke University’s first incoming class of Washington Duke Scholars will arrive on campus.

The Washington Duke Scholars program seeks to better support first-generation college students as they transition into college life by providing scholars with financial aid, a 4-week orientation program, mentors and computers among other perks. Thirty prospective freshmen were offered the scholarship including Brittany Amano of Honolulu, Hawaii who attended the boarding school Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, Neil Rogers from Alliance, Ohio and Sujeiry Jimenez, a Special to The Chronicle scholar from the small town of Verona, Missouri.

“I want to work to change the fact that only three Brittany Amano has started two nonprofit organizations and percent of foster youth graduate from a 4-year college has volunteered with the YMCA and FEMA.

FINDING

Emo

WELCOME CLASS OF 2019!!!

When you arrive at Duke, you will find that it's sometimes difficult to know whether to let your feelings show.

Being Emotional

When everyone seems to be so focused on being successful and confident, it's hard not to follow that current. But then...

...where do you tend to put your emotions? and what happens when they are pushed so far below the surface that even you don't know where they are anymore?

There are certainly times when it may be wise to not let your struggles show openly. Are there times that it is just as wise to reach out and share what you're going through?

• Give yourself the support that you may need.

• Give your friends the opportunity to be kind and show that they care.

• Give your community a reminder to be real.

and show others in my position that even when all of the odds are stacked against you, there are still incredible people like the Washington Duke Scholars Foundation who believe in your potential,” Amano said.

She noted that she wants to create branches of a weekend food bag program in Durham and start a mentoring program for children in North Carolina’s child welfare system during her time at Duke.

Both Amano and Jimenez are the daughters of immigrants—Amano’s mother is Japanese and Jimenez’s parents are Mexican. Rogers’ parents were both born and raised in Ohio, he said.

However, Amano explained that she did not spend all of her childhood with her family.

“I bounced between my single mom, grandmother and multiple foster homes growing up as a foster kid,” she said.

Now, Amano has created two nonprofit organizations called Hawaii’s Future Isn’t Hungry—whose mission is to support youths living in homeless shelters, feed nutritious meals to the hungry and promote literacy—and Teens Stopping Domestic Violence. She also works with several non-profit organizations and food banks, including the YMCA, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s national youth council and Leahi Hospital, a nursing home that helps patients receive quality medical care.

In addition, she is the winner of the LEAD360 contest, which identifies the most innovative ideas of young people in improving global problems, and she has spoken at the White House.

Amano, Rogers and Jimenez said they all want to work in the public sector. After potentially majoring in economics and public policy and earning the certificate in markets and management, Amano noted that she hopes to run for public office in Hawaii one day.

Rogers said he intends to double major as well in Spanish and linguistics.

“My absolute dream job is to be a foreign diplomat,” Rogers said. “I want to work for the [United Nations], and I hope that my language skills and writing could benefit me greatly.”

Jimenez explained that she wants to major in global health and then work with impoverished children around the world.

Despite voicing concerns about spending significant chunks of time away from home, the scholars said they are excited to take advantage of Duke’s numerous resources.

Amano will be participating in the ethics, leadership, and global citizenship focus group this Fall and will also attempt to walk on to the women’s rowing team.

“I’m extremely excited to get out of this cold, drab state and head to the bright and vibrant campus that has been my dream college since I began high school,” Rogers said, noting how excited he is to meet the other scholars.

Jimenez said that she would like to participate in DukeEngage as well as Bass Connections during her four years at Duke.

In their free time, the three scholars share several overlapping interests such as reading. They all mentioned a love for the outdoors as well, and Amano— having grown up on a tropical island—mentioned how much she enjoys the ocean. Rogers and Jimenez noted that they like to fish.

“I like to write short poems whenever I feel compelled to do so,” Rogers said. “There’s also something about mowing the lawn that just seems soothing to me.”

Task Forces Shaping D Task Force on Bias and Hate Issues Following a community forum Nov. 13 in which students voiced concerns about the campus climate, President Richard Brodhead created the task force on bias and hate issues modeled after the University’s Gender Violence Task Force. The task force released the results of student surveys about bias on campus and issued 11 recommendations in its final report, which was emailed to the Duke community May 4.

These included establishing a campuswide policy for handling complaints of hate and bias, centralizing authority for carrying out that policy within the Office of

the Provost and having university officials review student support services to ensure the staff is diverse and trained to handle bias and hate issues. In addition, the report suggested forming a standing committee that will release an action plan by the end of Fall 2016.

The task force was chaired by Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy, and Linda Burton, James B. Duke professor of sociology, and also consisted of five undergraduate students, five graduate students and 17 faculty members, administrators and alumni.

“My hope is that everyone finds a community or two within Duke where they enjoy the company of good friends, where they know they belong and matter and where their voices are heard, appreciated, and responded to with respect and admiration. I’d like to think that most experience Duke this way but I know that’s not (yet) true for all.”—Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs

Diversity Task Force The Academic Council announced the creation of a diversity task force in February 2014 to assess the status of diversity and inclusion at Duke.

The task force aimed to study the recent demographics of faculty and hiring processes and make recommendations to the University.

Nan Jokerst, J.A. Jones distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, and professor of law Trina Jones served as co-chairs.

In May 2015, the task force presented its findings, which called for an expansion of hiring programs to increase faculty diversity, improving faculty retention through community building and creating a faculty diversity standing committee for each division of the University.

The task force also found that the proportion of non-White faculty remains low but has seen a modest increase in the past decade—the percentage of Black faculty increased from 3.8 percent to 4.4 percent,

and the percentage of Hispanic faculty from 1.8 percent to 2.6 percent. In addition, the University’s success in hiring female and black professors has been uneven between schools, and its percentages of female and Hispanic professors are lower than other colleges ranked in the top 20.

As a result, Academic Council created the Faculty Diversity Task Force Implementation Committee, which is responsible for establishing a vice provost for faculty advancement—a position announced during the Nov. 13 community forum.

This initiative follows previous efforts to increase faculty diversity. In 2012, President Brodhead announced his President’s Diversity Initiative and requested that each senior administrator set three goals each academic year and report back on their progress. In addition, the Black Faculty Strategic Initiative helped double the amount of black faculty members over a 10-year period from 1993 to 2003.

“I find that socially Duke has become increasingly segmented and insular, with groups of students able to go their entire careers postOrientation Week without interacting with students that are different from them. A big academic and administrative focus in coming years needs to be on building more common ground to better integrate the student body.”—Tara Bansal, DSG president

Trinity University Advisory Committee During an Arts and Sciences Council meeting April 15, Valerie Ashby, dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, announced the creation of the Trinity University Advisory Committee to foster ongoing conversations about diversity on campus. The committee, which is composed of faculty and staff, will focus on education,

conversation and communication.

At the meeting, Ashby stressed the importance of institutionalizing efforts to integrate diversity into both the curriculum and conversations on campus.

Ashby wrote in an email May 25 that the committee is currently discussing courses of action.

“On a good day/most days, the culture on campus is one of belonging and inclusiveness, spirited engagement and learning and purpose, authenticity, ongoing innovation, a commitment to overall excellence and an interest in making a positive difference. On a more challenging day, the culture can feel stressful, competitive, conformist and judgmental. As our country appears to move in a direction of divisiveness, disconnect and a lack of respect for differing viewpoints, let’s strive for the Duke culture to resist this trend and embrace an approach of compassionate listening.”—Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek

Duke’s Campus Climate IFC Sexual Assault Task Force Last summer, the Interfraternity Council created a student-led task force in an effort to investigate the role of Greek life in sexual assault. Consisting of 12 IFC members—10 regular members along with two from the executive board—the group planned to examine the social culture at Duke during the 2015-16 academic year and make recommendations to prevent and address the issue of sexual assault.

After it was initially created, the task force decided to include three female members.

Senior Annie Adair—the only female nonGreek affiliated member—noted that having women serve on the task force was necessary to obtain accurate results.

“We were there to consult and be part of the conversation about solutions to IFC issues,” she said.

Adair explained that the task force met six or seven times during the Fall semester and at least once during the Spring for group discussions. She said that the committee also sent out a survey to the IFC as a whole, which “got to the root of the problem.”

However, the task force has yet to release its findings.

Adair noted that she thinks the task force has done an impressive job so far.

“We’ve had good discussions about why sexual assault happens,” she said. “We’ve gotten a lot of different perspectives.”

“A cursory glance at the racial and gender composition of large sporting events, graduate STEM cohorts and fellowship awardees reveals that underrepresented groups are not fully integrated in every aspect of the University. However, in the past few years, as minority students have demanded the University directly address microaggressive behaviors, systemic biases and anonymous twitter-finger cowardly antics on Yik Yak, we have made progress. But we have more work to do.”—Marcus Benning, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council

Strategic Planning Steering Committee In December 2014, Provost Sally Kornbluth announced the launch of a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to define “the overarching themes we should consider for Duke, and for higher education in general.”

The committee’s four key goals were to enrich student experiences by bolstering intellectual communities, especially at the graduate level; develop a diverse and inclusive Duke community through collaborative endeavors among schools, centers and institutes; engage beyond borders to address real-world problems; and support faculty research projects with resources, infrastructure and recognition.

Susan Lozier, Ronie-Richelle

Garcia-Johnson professor of earth and ocean sciences, served as chair of the committee.

Since January 2015, the Strategic Planning Steering Committee has been meeting with faculty and students. During the summer of 2015, it wrote a framing document outlining the committee’s goals, which Kornbluth sent in an email to all students Nov. 19.

Since then, the office of the provost and the committee have continued to invite and collect feedback and have worked on developing a more detailed plan, which is scheduled to come out this fall and be approved by the Board of Trustees in February 2017.

“At Duke, people rejoice in using the full range of their powers to the highest degree, in the company of equally talented, comparably engaged others. So my words for Duke culture would be: spirited, active, quick to take initiative, and highly community-oriented.”

—President Richard Brodhead

Abele Advisory Committee After students released demands at a community forum Nov. 20 to rename the West Union to Abele Union in order to honor Julian Abele—the black architect who led the design of the—campus from the 1920s until the 1940s—an advisory committee was created in December 2015 to suggest ways to best recognize Abele’s contributions. Led by Executive Vice President Tallman Trask, the committee included students, faculty and staff.

Among the alternatives considered was renaming Chapel Drive after Abele and placing a statue of him on the

West Campus traffic circle. Although the committee favored this option, the Board of Truestes decided to rename the main quadrangle on West Campus to Abele Quadrangle—a measure that was not recommended by the University committee—in a February meeting.

The Board also voted to adopt other recommendations which included creating a plaque to honor Abele in the Chapel, publishing a biography of Abele, purchasing the rights to a mural about Abele and engraving Abele’s name into the Chapel cornerstone.

“The best part about Duke is that we don’t have a defined, cohesive campus culture, aside from a shared loudness and energy. Our campus characteristics are students’ passion for the projects, clubs, academics, people or basketball games around us. We have a vibrant campus, but it’s one with hundreds of personalities that make it exciting and constantly changing.”—Ilana Weisman, DSG executive vice president

Director of Clinton NC campaign notes role of youth in election Jaime Gordon The Chronicle Troy Clair, Trinity ’03, pursued a political science major and history minor while at Duke. After leaving, he worked as chief of staff for North Carolina representative G.K. Butterfield and is now the North Carolina director at Hillary for America. The Chronicle’s Jaime Gordon spoke with Clair about his experience at Duke, the nuances of Clinton’s campaign and North Carolina politics.

The Chronicle: What makes North Carolina a unique and important state in elections?

Troy Clair: North Carolina is definitely what we call a battleground state. Both parties—Republicans and Democrats—will visit and vigorously contest the state. President Obama won the state in 2008 and narrowly lost the state in 2012.

I think that North Carolinians are looking for a new direction with what’s going on with the Republican leadership in state. Secretary Clinton has the kind of vision that folks in North Carolina would be attracted to.

A recent article in The New York Times said that we will be the closest of the battleground states across the country.

That’s how North Carolina is. We have a lot of great people and a lot of diverse backgrounds. It will be a very close and competitive state.

Troy Clair: The main theme of [Clinton’s New College Compact] is if folks want to get an education, that it should not bankrupt them or their family, that college should be in reach for every American, that the cost of college should not keep people from going to school and getting an education and bettering themselves and their families. The second principle is that if you’re able to get the money to go to college and you have to borrow money, you should not be in so much debt that it prevents you from buying a house or starting a business. The interest rates you pay should not be immensely high. We don’t want young people who are recent graduates to not only hurt themselves economically, but hurt the country economically because they can’t invest.

This is personal for me because when I attended Duke, my parents were not—and still are not—wealthy. I had to take out student loans, and I was on work study. This is very personal to me to make sure that folks like myself from an urban neighborhood in New York Special to The Chronicle are able to come to a great university Troy Clair serves as the North Carolina director at Hillary for America and discussed the like Duke. importance of universities in elections.

Troy Clair: Young people are critical to the success of any campaign or any movement. We’ve got folks across the state who will be organizers. That’s greatly fueled by young people who will be going across the state door-to-door encouraging people to vote, registering people to vote and making phone calls The Chronicle: What role do North encouraging people to get involved in Carolina’s many universities play in the the process. election?

The History of Terrorism Professor Martin Miller

The purpose of this course is to explore the historical roots of modern political violence. Contrary to popular belief, terrorism is not a recent phenomenon traceable to extremist factions or pathological individuals. It has, in fact, been an integral part of the policies of many governments and societies around the world for centuries. Insurgent terrorist organizations can be found in ancient Israel, twelfth century Islam, and fourteenth century India.

In Europe prior to the 19th century, Christian religious justifications dominated the use of violence against declared heretics and dissenters. The modern era of Western history, which traditionally begins with the French Revolution in 1789, inaugurated the use of violence to achieve political objectives in a secular context. The combat between state security agencies and insurgent organizations over issues of rights, liberties and legitimate governmental authority emerged in full force during the 19th and 20th centuries, setting the stage for our contemporary dilemmas.

The Chronicle: What does a typical day look like for you in your current position?

Troy Clair: Crazy! Right now, we’re in what we call the building phase.

Part of that includes reaching out to people across the state, reaching out to those I don’t already know, and getting The Chronicle: Could you tell me a people’s thoughts on how things are little bit more about Secretary Clinton’s education policy?

Global Development: Politics, Policy and Practice Professor Erik Wibbels

Why are some countries rich and some poor? Why are some households rich and some poor? This course introduces students to the intellectual tools for understanding why development varies as it does across the globe and the practical tools for designing and evaluating policies aimed at alleviating poverty. To that end, the course is organized into three parts. The first part focuses on the big picture: the macroeconomic and political foundations for sustained economic growth, including historical legacies, technological innovation and political institutions. The second part focuses on the micro-picture: the household-level dynamics of poverty and development, including access to food and credit, the role of health and education, the transition from village to city life, and day-to-day governance. The third part of the course introduces students to the practicalities of designing and evaluating the efficacy of governance and poverty relief interventions and policies. The focus will be on the use of field experiments to study interventions to promote better governance and household wellbeing.

Former football player receives degree after brain injury Amrith Ramkumar The Chronicle

Amrith Ramkumar | The Chronicle Blair Holliday (center) participated in the 2016 commencement ceremony after nearly losing his life in July 2012.

After he entered the summer of 2012 looking forward to starting as a wide receiver for the Blue Devils, rising sophomore Blair Holliday had a new focus a few months later—recovering from a traumatic brain injury.

Holliday collided with fellow wideout Jamison Crowder while both players were on jet skis in July 2012 and was left in critical condition. After being revived by a nursing student who witnessed the accident, Holliday was airlifted to a University of North Carolina hospital in Chapel Hill, where he remained in a coma.

But nearly four years after almost losing his life, Holliday will do something that was unthinkable following his horrific accident—participate in Sunday’s commencement ceremony.

“It’s definitely a miracle,” Holliday said at a press conference Thursday.

Following a lengthy recovery process, the Sherman Oaks, Calif., native earned his degree in psychology with a markets and management studies certificate last December.

In August, Holliday will begin an internship with Fox Sports South.

“Right now I feel like standing up and cheering and going wild,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said.

“I’m feeling every emotion that I saw so many others feel through this incredible story of a lot of heroes— an unbelievable number of heroes.”

‘I couldn’t even get up to walk’ There were four teams that supported Holliday following his accident—the team on the water immediately following the accident, the doctors at UNC Hospital, the team at the Shepherd Rehabilitation Center in Atlanta and the personnel at Duke, said Dr. Joel Morgenlander, a neurologist at Duke Health who worked with Holliday when he returned to the University.

Immediately following the accident, the nursing student’s CPR and Crowder—a record-setting wide receiver at Duke who now plays for the Washington Redskins in the NFL—getting Holliday out of the water quickly were important steps, Morgenlander explained.

“Because of [Holliday’s] athletic background, he could handle a low blood pressure more than most of us could,” Morgenlander said.

Before Holliday regained consciousness five days later, there was an outpouring of support from the Duke community, Cutcliffe noted. Morgenlander added that friends and family members reading to and speaking with Holliday even when he could not respond likely aided his recovery.

“There’s one thing that got me through this entire process—family,” Holliday said. “Not specifically my family, but also the family I have here at Duke.”

After he regained consciousness, Holliday was airlifted to Atlanta and the Shepherd Center, which specializes in spinal cord and brain injury rehabilitation. Holliday said Thursday that some of his earliest memories from after the accident are bits and pieces as he was transported to Atlanta, adding that the first time he remembered speaking was when he later called his mom and told her that he loved her.

The 6-foot-3 former wide receiver slowly began an arduous recovery process, with his parents and younger brothers Chase and Dallas using a safety belt to help Holliday regain balance as he learned how to walk again.

“I could definitely still see myself doing the things that I wanted to be doing, but I didn’t have the connection from my brain to my extremities like my legs or my hands to do that,” Holliday said. “That was probably the most difficult thing to cope with. I saw myself running around the hospital but I couldn’t even get up to walk.”

‘I was still a part of the team’

By December 2012, Holliday had made enough progress to be released from the Shepherd Center and earned his driver’s license again, a step that showed his mother her son was on track to regain many of the skills he had lost.

“When he passed that test, that’s when I felt like, ‘He’s going to make it,’” Leslie Holliday said, adding that she let Blair drive back to North Carolina from Atlanta.

As Holliday’s brain continued healing and his memory improved, he faced the challenge of readjusting to life at Duke.

But fresh off the team’s first bowl berth since 1995, Cutcliffe made sure Holliday still had the full support of the program, leaving the former wideout on scholarship and having him work with wide receivers as an undergraduate student assistant coach.

“Coach did something I never would have thought of—coach kept him in the team,” Morgenlander said. “When he came back, he’s working out under supervision of trainers, he’s out on the field. He needed to do that, and coach knew he needed to do that.”

North Carolina voter ID law generates controversy Katherine Berko

North Carolina’s controversial voter identification law will stay in place after a ruling by U.S. District Judge Thomas Schroeder at the end of April.

The 2013 law calls for North Carolina voters to bring photo identification when casting their ballots, eliminates same-day registration and ends “out-ofprecinct” voting. Supporters—including Republican governor Pat McCrory, who signed the bill into law— claim that it helps protect against voter fraud.

Many Democrats, however, have said the law is a way to deter minorities from reaching the polls. Schroeder’s recent ruling dismissed a lawsuit that claimed the law to be unconstitutional, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP. However, the NAACP chapter has since filed an appeal, which is scheduled to be heard June 21 in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Both sides are demagoguing this,” said Michael Munger, director of the philosophy, politics and economics program. “There’s no evidence of fraud and there’s no evidence of a turnout harm. They’re both using it for political purposes in a way that’s so cynical it reveals why people don’t like parties.”

In his ruling, Schroeder noted there was no clear evidence of disenfranchisement from this legislation, although he acknowledged that North Carolina did have a history of discrimination. “[Plaintiffs] failed to show that such disparities will have materially adverse effects on the ability of minority voters to cast a ballot and effectively exercise the electoral franchise,” Schroeder wrote in his ruling.

Munger said that for years North Carolina has had some of the most liberal voting laws in the country, but that it is now in the middle.

Other states are facing challenges to their voter identification laws as well. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is currently weighing a Texas identification law. The law remains in effect, pending a ruling, despite having been struck down by earlier federal court rulings.

A federal court in Wisconsin is similarly expected to issue a ruling in a trial of Wisconsin’s voter identification law that ended in late May. The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York School of Law study has found that 22 states have issued voting restrictions since the 2010 midterm elections.

However, Munger argued that North Carolina’s early voting laws actually remain fairly liberal.

“Anybody who doesn’t have an ID can just ask to vote absentee and their vote will be counted,” Munger said.

Many Democrats have expressed fear that Republicans advocated the law to disenfranchise poor minority voters who may be less likely to have government-issued identification and are often Democratic voters.

Munger acknowledged that if somebody lacks financial resources, does not own a car, is less comfortable filling out forms or has poor language skills, obtaining identification could be more difficult.

“You go to the DMV, you wait in line a long time, you don’t have exactly the right forms, you get turned away, you have to take the bus back home because you don’t have a car, you have to come back the next day and you still don’t have the right forms,” he said.

These voting laws can potentially make voting more difficult for college students as well, Munger said. Some Duke students choose to register to vote because of North Carolina’s historical status as a presidential swing state.

However, some North Carolina residents may be uncomfortable with out-of-state students registering in North Carolina because they do not have an interest in local elections, he added.

The largest obstacle to voting in compliance with voter identification laws is time, noted junior Nicholas Justice, a member of Duke Political Union.

“Duke students are some of the busiest people I’ve ever seen, and if they have to take the extra time to get their passport mailed in, or go to the North Carolina DMV, we’re going to see a drop in [voter] attendance,” Justice said.

TUITION from page 5 fees of approximately $45,000—not factoring in room and board—is about 90 percent of the median household income.

larger than $1 billion, including Duke, in February to find out more about how tuition increases and other forms of spending are calculated. Vedder said another reason Congress is interested in endowment spending is that many donors to Duke and its peer institutions receive tax breaks for philanthropy.

Vedder said he recently completed a study that showed that for every dollar increase in a university’s endowment, on average only 13 cents went to reducing cost through scholarships and financial aid.

He added that it is possible in the next few years for a tax to be used against schools with large endowments that do not meet certain thresholds to facilitate affordability through financial aid. Inside Higher Ed reported in February that Rep. Tom Reed planned to introduce legislation with such provisions.

“We will have a significant effort made to reform the treatment of endowments and put pressure on the universities,” Vedder said.

they cannot come to campus and protest like current students.

Even though the parents realize their petition is unlikely to result in immediate change, they would like to open lines of communication with administrators and gain a better understanding of where their money is going, Barranco said.

Although President Richard Brodhead said following the most recent increase that Duke always tries to offset tuition hikes with higher increases in financial aid, Barranco said he was concerned that families that do not qualify for financial aid could end up having to pay more for the aid increases.

“It seems to me that it could end up exacerbating the problem,” he said.

Parents have reason to question universities’ transparency regarding spending because unlike students, faculty and alumni, it can be more difficult to see how they benefit from university spending, Vedder said.

He added that given many universities’ ‘More and more exclusive’ massive endowments and increases in Vedder said that he was surprised to administrative positions, regulatory positions for see parents organizing in opposition to tuition hikes because mobilizing individuals who live far away from one another can be challenging.

Leslie Detwiler, one of the signatories of the Duke petition whose daughter is a freshman, said she was upset by the increase because there was no explanation given and the university’s Board of Trustees announced the increase following a meeting at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, which is out of many middle class families’ price range.

The steep increase much higher than the rate of inflation was also problematic, she said.

“It really felt like a slap in the face to the middle class,” Detwiler said.

Michael Barranco, another signatory who graduated from Duke in 1982 and has a daughter who is a sophomore, said that many middle-class parents feel helpless because

things like Title IX compliance and improved campus facilities, it is natural for parents to want a say in how their money is spent.

“We’ve had something of an academics arms race,” Vedder said. “The one loser in all this is the parents—they just pay the bills.”

Cindy Stiles, who has a son at Northwestern and signed the petition opposing its tuition increases, said that her family chose to accept the large financial burden of paying for a Northwestern education without understanding how rapidly fees would rise.

She added that universities need to be more open with parents about spending in the shortterm—questioning whether faculty salaries are increasing at the same rate as tuition—before they put an unreasonable burden on more middle class families.

“The customer is never included in the discussion and never forewarned of the tuition increase before the decision is made,” Stiles said. “It’s an unsustainable economic model for someone who is paying the full cost.

Because it’s unsustainable, it will become more and more exclusive.”

‘More and more annoyed’ Although Duke is not close to a tipping point in squeezing out the middle class because students are so willing to apply and enroll, if fewer middle-class students came to the university the student body could be much different, said Alison Rabil, assistant vice provost and director of financial aid.

“I don’t know what that does to campus culture—it could be really horrible,” Rabil said.

“It’s certainly not great.”

Rabil noted that the size of endowments at Harvard University and Princeton University mean that they are able to provide more aid to middle-class families than Duke.

“It’s harder for us to compete when we don’t have as much money to give away,” Rabil said. “We never are really in a position to make it easy for any particular family, but we should make it possible.”

Vedder, who testified before the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee in Fall 2015 about how universities spend their endowments, said he thought congressional action could force universities to change how they approach tuition increases.

“The most interesting thing to me was that there didn’t seem to be much difference between the Republicans and Democrats,” Vedder said. “This was one of those issues where people from both parties were getting more and more annoyed.”

Members of Congress requested information from 56 private universities with endowments

BRODHEAD from page 9 from 2008 as a stronger institution.”

Other faculty have also pointed to Brodhead’s role in recruiting new educational leadership initiatives, with a focus on interdisciplinary studies.

During his tenure, the University launched several interdisciplinary groups, including the Duke Global Health Institute, the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences and the Information Initiative at Duke.

“In addition to his emphasis on enriching the quality of the undergraduate experience, President Brodhead has been very much attuned to building Duke’s reputation as one of America’s leading research universities,” wrote Randall Kramer, deputy director for the Duke Global Health Institute and professor of environmental economics and global health, in an email. “He has done this by recruiting outstanding deans who value and support faculty research in their schools, by stressing the global reach of the University and by strongly supporting the interdisciplinary institutes and initiatives, which have become a defining signature of Duke.”

Burness and Kramer added that globalization has also been a key component of Brodhead’s vision as president. In addition to the DGHI, Brodhead spearheaded the launch of the popular DukeEngage initiative as well as Duke Kunshan University.

Other global educational initiatives include University-led Massive Open Online Courses and the establishment of the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore. “[He also] emphasized early that Duke needed to be not only a national

www.dukechronicle.com

leader intellectually and academically, but in a rapidly changing world, Duke needed to have a broader global profile,” Burness explained. “Though the jury is still out on [Duke Kunshan University] and likely will be for several more years, it is a bold and risky initiative that may well have significant long term benefits for Duke.“ Burness also noted that Brodhead was successful in promoting social justice issues and built upon the progress of President Keohane, who was recognized as a pioneer for LGBTQ rights in the South during her presidency.

During Brodhead’s tenure, the University has seen many demonstrations and protests in support of social progression, most recently from the Duke Students and Workers in Solidarity movement in April. Despite criticisms against Brodhead during many of these incidents, Burness wrote that he believes Brodhead has continually acted as an advocate of free speech throughout his career.

“Very early in his presidency he was criticized (more than 90,000 signatures on an e-petition) for permitting a student conference that was proPalestinian,” Burness wrote. “At the same time that he supported students’ right to have their conference, he made clear that the University served its students and the broader society by providing a forum for a wide range of views (there were several pro-Israeli events during the period leading up to the student conference).”

Despite student dissent against construction efforts on campus, Burness also said that he is confident faculty and students will benefit from the over $1 billion invested in ongoing and completed construction

MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2016 | 21

projects around the University’s main campus. Jerry Reiter, professor of statistical science, added in an email that these construction efforts have also contributed to attracting and retaining global leaders in research.

Burness noted that another key aspect of Brodhead’s career was his emphasis on reaching the Durham community. “[Brodhead] deserves a good deal of credit (as does [Tallman] Trask) for significant leadership in the transformation of Downtown Durham,” he wrote. “The decision to have more than 2000 employees work downtown and major investments in DPAC, Full Frame and a number of facilities and programs that have transformed Durham was both smart and strategic and catalyzed much of the city’s nationally recognized development as a culturally vibrant and edgy community.”

Brodhead’s time at Duke, however, has also been marked by several events that received substantial attention from national media, much of which has been negative.

One of the most prominent scandals the University has faced was the Duke lacrosse case, during which Burness served as senior vice president for public affairs and government relations. As a whole, Burness wrote that he believes Brodhead handled that crisis in an appropriate manner.

“I may not be the most objective person on his handling of crises, but in general I thought he handled the [lacrosse] situation—with the exception of reaching out more to the families of the players, which he has acknowledged—about as well as it might have been,” he wrote.

Kasibhatla wrote that, despite the lacrosse scandal, he believes the

University’s athletic department is now in a much better position in the years since and that “Duke is looked upon as a leader in having a great athletic program without sacrificing high academic standards.”

Burness, however, noted that he thinks the University did not properly respond to a national scandal involving Anil Potti, a former cancer researcher at Duke. During investigations that began in 2009 and were resolved only last year, it was revealed that Potti engaged in scientific misconduct by promoting and publishing inaccurate data on a new cancer treatment.

“I do think the Potti scandal in the Health System is an example of an important issue that was not well handled, although it is not clear to me what role if any Brodhead played or should have played in that,” Burness wrote. “That said, it is a major scandal/embarrassment that occurred on his watch.”

Ultimately, both Burness and Kasibhatla wrote that they believe Brodhead’s actions as president will be remembered well by the University and its global and national partners.

“On balance, I suspect history will treat his presidency well,” Burness wrote. “Duke has experienced record admissions and fund raising under Brodhead which usually are metrics used to assess institutional strength and presidential leadership. The school emerged from 2008 in relatively good financial shape and because of the Duke Forward campaign, the incredible construction program and the transformation of Durham, Duke will remain an attractive school for students and faculty in the future.

Brodhead deserves credit on all of those fronts.”

HOLLIDAY from page 16 his degree despite not regaining a full memory and some parts of his brain healing faster than others, Cutcliffe asked for help from Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education.

Along with the football program’s academic advisors, Holliday’s family and Morgenlander, Nowicki concluded that the best way for Holliday to continue his education was gradually. Holliday started by only taking a continuing education course to see how he could handle a Duke class following the accident, a pivotal step that was made possible because Cutcliffe left Holliday on scholarship.

“Not many coaches would do that,” Nowicki said.

After Holliday was able to handle the first course, he took two courses simultaneously before eventually taking a full course load with four classes in a semester.

As he regained his footing academically, Holliday also came to terms with the fact that he could not play football again due to further injury risks, but still could enjoy running routes and talking about the game with his teammates before, during and after games.

“I saw how it would be a situation that [playing] wouldn’t be the best for my actual life. Me still being there meant that I was still a part of the team,” Holliday said. “I still felt like I was out there playing through Trevon [Lee], Chris Taylor, Johnell Barnes or even a couple of years ago with Jamison Crowder and Conner Vernon.”

‘He didn’t squeak by’ Nowicki said that the only special accommodation Holliday needed to

finish his degree was starting courses gradually when he returned to the University, adding that his role was mainly to communicate with faculty who might not have been aware of Holliday’s unique circumstances as a student.

As Holliday’s recovery wore on, he became a standout in the classroom before finishing his degree last December.

“The acceleration kept going on and on. By the team he finished, Blair’s last semester, last fall, he made the dean’s list,” Nowicki said. “He didn’t squeak by.

As he was recovering, he kept running faster and faster.”

After earning his undergraduate degree, Holliday began a master’s program at Duke that he hopes to continue with as he starts his internship at Fox Sports South. He was not on scholarship last semester as he began the graduate program, so Holliday started working at the department store Nordstrom, a step that he said was helpful so he could see what life without the security of a scholarship would be like.

“He’s got something important to do, and I’ve always told him that,” Cutcliffe said. “He’s been given the opportunity to do something extremely important.

He can’t miss that opportunity. All of us who saw where he was to what you’ve seen him do up here—it’s miraculous, beyond amazing.”

Morgenlander added that Holliday’s story carried heightened importance to give those with loved ones in near-death situations hope.

“It’s important for people to see stories like Blair’s,” he said. “When you’re sitting there in the ICU and it’s looking that bleak, and people are saying, ‘You better prepare yourself,’ you have to be able to hang on to something.”
