Duke needs a climate school
By Nathan Iyer | September 2, 2020A top education must face the real world—and right now, that world is heating up fast.
A top education must face the real world—and right now, that world is heating up fast.
I’ve cornered him into every white man’s worst nightmare: a conversation about motorcycles that turns into a conversation about race politics.
Laughter is resistance because it counters the absurdity, evil and violence that happens in our world.
Unfortunately, our models of accountability are based within the same carceral logics that plague our criminal-(in)justice system.
Our Duke experience this fall looks nothing like it has before. That’s devastating. But it’s also an opportunity.
Up until that point in my life, it had never occurred to me that something as mundane as toothpaste warranted an entire aisle.
Moral of the story: wear your mask. Be responsible. We are all just human. We are all facing a moral dilemma, and we know which path is right. And when in doubt, remember: we are all interconnected.
This decision was a grave mistake that seriously endangers both the Duke and Durham community.
Diversity will manifest itself once equity is achieved—not the other way around.
Music offers a unique and personal sort of solace to all, regardless of how these difficult times have impacted us. Classical music should speak to us now more than ever—its works have stood the test of time, and the sentiments it evokes have resonated with generations of people—each of whom had a distinct set of hopes, dreams, struggles, and ambitions.
Well, this is “next time”…. and “the church” is still standing on the wrong side of history.
Horny, repressed, zit-faced, socially inept, newly independent, fresh-out-of-high-school adolescents are exhibiting bad judgement. Administration is baffled.
We ask the Duke administration to take additional steps to secure and protect the voting rights of every member of the Duke community.
We will hold up our end of the compact. Will the university’s leadership hold up theirs?
The system is not broken; it is doing exactly what it was created to do by insulating wealthy, white students from the broader Duke community.
In pandemic times, S/U is a vitally important vessel that can provide students with sorely needed academic flexibility.
I’m confident that this is the right next step for The Chronicle.
If we demand justice and equality for all Black lives, we must examine our meaning of the word “all” and affirm its inclusivity.
To ensure that the administration follows through on their promise of transformative justice, we have to force their hand. And to do that, we have to keep from them what matters the most: our money.
I wonder about the people in charge who are acting with such nonchalance about our health and safety. I wonder whether their mother calls them to ask them how they’re breathing today.
