But there’s a line, and when you chose to prioritize Duke sports fanatics over students who pay $474 for an annual Blue Zone permit — on top of almost $89,000 a year in attendance costs — you most certainly crossed it.

As soon as registration season rolls around, questions begin to plague conversations, social media and text threads across the Duke undergraduate student body — what is an easy NS/ALP class? Is there a way to bypass the foreign-language requirement? Which professors hand out free A’s?  How we value the liberal arts education begins to quickly unravel as soon as we look at the Latin honours cut-offs and realise that unless we take filler classes, we have no shot at being named the academic cream of the crop come graduation.
