For weeks, Duke faculty have been writing about the "virtues of democracy" and how American democracy, imperfect as it is, is imperiled in modern times. As a faculty member emeritus and a recently-retired, 34-year veteran of the U.S. House of Representatives, I have some urgent thoughts on these matters, based on front-row observation and coming into sharp focus as a landmark election looms ahead.
A packed home crowd at Spry Stadium was no match for Mia Oliaro, who scored two goals at Wake Forest Sunday to take the 2024 ACC regular season title for the Blue Devils.
“If all the raindrops were lemon drops, and… bomb drops?” My 6-year-old couldn’t quite remember all of the song she had learned in school, but this didn’t sound quite right to her. Nor did it sound right to me — this morbid version of “lemon drops and gumdrops” made me freeze in place. I suppose I cannot completely shield my children from the world’s news.
In the era of culture wars and ideologically driven strife, belief in good faith communication has waned. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, we share lessons learned from two years of collaborating on a research project at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy examining racial bias in jury selection processes, and jury composition as well as efforts to improve them.
Answering the perennial question of what university education should be requires a return to first principles. Speak to many Duke students and you get the idea that the university is failing to shore up the idea of liberal education which we have come to expect from, and in many ways associate with, university life. We should first consider what that idea is.
When I was in Los Angeles last summer, I took the Scientology personality test at the famed Church of Scientology Information Center building right on Hollywood Boulevard. It’s a pristine white and mahogany building nestled incongruously between a Ripley’s Believe it or Not museum, a 4-star Indian restaurant, a Starbucks and the acclaimed Hollywood Egyptian Theater.
University leaders celebrated the history of women's leadership and reinforced a shared commitment to uplift future generations of women leaders at Duke and beyond during the Women Leaders for a New Century event.
As an alumnus of Duke, I’m proud of my school’s preeminent stature and immense capabilities, but also concerned that those qualities should never sour into self-serving, possibly even criminal, conduct. It’s happened before, and it could happen again.
With Election Day just over a week away, both Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ campaigns have ramped up their efforts in North Carolina, as they vie for the battleground state's 16 Electoral College votes.
In late November 2021, Ruben Mesalles sat on the couch in a Solis apartment next to his captain, Eliot Hamill. St. Louis had just punched Duke men’s soccer in its home Koskinen Stadium, taking a 4-3 victory that knocked the Blue Devils out of the NCAA tournament. The Billikens’ final goal — the last forfeit of Mesalles’ freshman season — tasted as bitter as a College Cup tally can get: It was an own-goal by Duke.
The University is investigating two incidents of vandalism in Gilbert-Addoms dorm on East Campus and one in Keohane 4A — including a number of ripped-out fire exit signs and a broken patio chair, as well as an “emptied” fire extinguisher and hallway wall damage, respectively.
President Joe Biden apologized Friday for the U.S. government’s role in establishing and supporting boarding schools that removed Indigenous children from their families and stripped them of their culture for over 150 years.
Bobby Hurley isn’t used to losing in Cameron Indoor Stadium, but he’ll do it for a good cause.
No. 7 Duke men’s basketball welcomed Arizona State — and former Blue Devil Bobby Hurley — to Cameron Indoor for a charity exhibition matchup. After 20 minutes of play, Duke holds a commanding 37-21 lead on the visiting Sun Devils:
With college basketball season right around the corner, it's time for the Blue Zone to break down the 2024-25 Duke women's basketball roster. We previously looked at Jenessa Cotton, Jordan Wood, Louann Battiston, Riley Nelson, Arianna Roberson, Delaney Thomas, Emma Koabel, Vanessa de Jesus, Toby Fournier, Ashlon Jackson, Jadyn Donovan, Oluchi Okananwa and Taina Mair. Last up is veteran leader Reigan Richardson:
As the Blue Devils stepped onto the pool deck at Taishoff Aquatic Center to face their southern neighbor, South Carolina, Drake’s lyrics 'But it’s far from over' echoed throughout Taishoff. That was the theme of the evening for Duke, who displayed impressive fight against the Gamecocks.
The Chronicle is releasing survey data from its campus election poll.
So close, yet so far away.
Disney, seemingly seeking to add to as many franchises as possible, is now revisiting Pride Rock in “Mufasa: The Lion King.” The film a CGI-live-action prequel to "The Lion King", which is scheduled to premier Dec. 20, 2024, promises to tell the story of Mufasa’s childhood, showing how he grew up and rose towards nobility.
A great defense can only do so much.
