We were shocked and saddened to read about the merging of the International House and the Multicultural Center, and about the loss of Juanita Johnson and Julian Sanchez in particular.
No one at the Center for Multicultural Affairs received word of this merger until after the decision has been made. None of the student leaders, whose groups depend on the center for guidance and...
We are very grateful The Chronicle’s extensive coverage of the Freedom Without Walls speaker event last Monday, featuring distinguished activist and politician Vera Lengsfeld. I am sorry to see,...
I was disappointed in the choice of words used in the Oct. 28 Chronicle article “DUPD cop arrested on rape charges.” The victim reported that she was bound, gagged, possibly drugged and then raped....
In his Oct. 29 letter, “Duke sustainability requires endowment transparency,” Mikael Owunna showed an extremely limited understanding of investment management and the ethics involved.
While it is encouraging to hear that President Richard Brodhead is taking initiative in making Duke a global leader in education by meeting with Kapil Sibal, India’s human resource development...
Initiatives like DukeEngage have funded students to learn first-hand how issues of global health affect those in developing countries. But sometimes, you don’t have to go anywhere to profoundly...
Ben Brostoff’s Oct. 27 column “You, Me and Kyrie” demonstrates a horrible understanding of Duke-Durham relations, race relations and basketball.

Wojo said the team was well aware that its fans aren’t intimidating enough and that the only game that students were turned away from last year was Davidson. C’mon “rabid” fans, you can’t even fill...
We were extremely disappointed by the remarks Ben Brostoff made about Durham in his Oct. 27 column “You, me and Kyrie.” Durham is a great place to live and work. Yes, there is poverty, but we are...
While I realize “Monday, Monday” is a humor column and therefore not to be taken seriously, I found a few aspects of the “Charlotte Simmons” piece this week troubling enough to warrant some...
This week’s “Monday, Monday” column, “My big fat greek game,” was an epiphany in my Duke career, because for the first time I figured out what’s wrong with Duke’s social scene: students like the...
Stauch’s failure to recognize the right of supporters of Israel to candlelight vigils, using pointed words like “apartheid” and “brutal siege,” is the primary shortcoming in his article.
As the presidents of Cable 13, we would like to address and apologize for our coverage (or lack thereof) of the men’s basketball exhibition game this past Saturday.
Duke students should be ashamed and embarrassed. Very few bothered to show up for the football matchup with Maryland Saturday afternoon.
I am writing to encourage all Duke students to support their football team. As a season ticket holder for more than 25 seasons, I have seen the best of times and have certainly seen the worst of...
The same guidelines are in effect for this Tailgate as the last Tailgate. If you want Tailgate to continue it is very important that you follow these guidelines. Most importantly, don’t stand on...
