The current approach of releasing results every Monday for the prior week renders the results to be essentially useless for any meaningful risk assessment by individuals, especially given the fast spread of the Omicron variant.
Replace the C1 with the shooters bus. Something about strobe lights and Jack Harlow’s verse on Lil Nas X’s Industry Baby playing while you’re on the way to your surely dreaded 8:30am class just seems appropriate
Duke is allowing high-risk activities but then barring until January 18 the main reason students are here on campus – which is to engage in the very low-risk activity of attending in-person class. How does this make sense?
The stigma of being sentimental, the worry of inducing negativity and the insecurity of appearing to be a not-so-cool girl all barred me from calling my loved ones.
I am forever grateful for your kindness, And I’ll never forget your gentle eyes.
We are the Community Editorial Board, The Chronicle’s independent student voice, and today, we invite you to join the discussion.
Encountering Bryan’s shy smile in this tumultuous time gave me a great amount of peace.
There are simple and common-sense steps the administration can be taking to protect students, faculty, and staff.
Santa may not have left a present at the foot of my bed last Christmas, but in many ways, he had already given me the greatest gift of all—a gift that will keep on giving long after he is gone.
Is the safety of those around you worth standing room at a game?

Two specific paintings in the entire Frick Madison spoke with the loudest voices.
Positivity is not an inherent personality trait but a behavior to be learned, practiced, and refined.
The decision to fundamentally alter the Thompson Writing Program is almost unilaterally opposed by the student and faculty body, who called for Duke to support faculty and listen to students during Sunday’s protests. As such, it can only be concluded that there are some traditions that the Duke administration cannot continue to uphold.
On face value, nothing huge just happened here. It likely wouldn’t be clear that any words were even exchanged between us. Why do I feel so darn giddy and fulfilled, then? I wonder to myself.
Minorities are always being told they're asking for “too much” while simultaneously never really having their demands met. If Duke Disability Alliance would like a minor, or Asian American students on this campus want faculty support - there should be a department to support them.
