Letters to the Editor: Reporter should resign his position

When I am about to read a remark or hear a phrase that someone has already warned me may be offensive, I keep my emotions intact, and I give it a chance. Perhaps it is the type of comment that can be taken the wrong way but can be seen in another viewpoint as positive or affirming. Not this time.

I am assuredly not the only alumna to send you a letter about the article on the Duke men's basketball team's win over the University of Virginia, but I wanted to tell you that I was sorely offended by the poorly chosen words used to describe Mr. Deng.

I expected much higher standards from The Chronicle and from a Duke student. I do not think Mr. Sullivan should be forced to resign. However, I hope his conscience and common journalistic decency will lead him to volunteer to do so.
