ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTH YEAR, Issue 2
‘A no-brainer’: Dame’s set to replace Devil’s Bistro Samantha Neal The Chronicle With the addition of new eateries and food trucks, updates to Marketplace and the anticipated opening of West Union, students will soon get a taste of changes that have been in the works for years. Most notably, Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee has selected Dame’s Express to replace Devil’s Bistro, which closed last year. Although running the Central Campus eatery comes with the pressure of adjusting to a new building and layout, Randy Wadsworth—the owner of Dame’s Chicken and Waffles—is excited about becoming the latest addition to campus. “It was a no-brainer for us to accept the opportunity to work with Duke Dining Services,” Wadsworth said. “Duke students have been some of our biggest supports at the Main Street restaurant since we opened.” A copy of the menu that Wadsworth provided—which provides a broader selection than the downtown restaurant—featured a range of options including egg omelets, frittatas, burgers, “Nawlins” po’ boys, pizzas, regional foods and, of course, the signature fried chicken and waffles. Students can also look forward to the completion of the new West Union, which is finally on the horizon after two years of construction and eight years of planning. The opening of the Devil’s
it’s completed,” Coffey said. “As each week goes on, [first-years] will see more things happening.” As previously reported, the East Union will also house collaborative workspaces for FOCUS clusters. Some of these rooms will be open for use at the start of the Fall with more opening later in the semester. This year, there will also be a new food management system online that will allow students to better access nutritional information and ingredients for food served on campus. The first venues to have this system will be Marketplace and the Divinity Café. “It should be very customer-friendly,” Coffey said. “We think that’s a huge plus for the program and for our customers to have that transparency.” Darbi Griffith | The Chronicle Other changes include the addition Dame’s becoming the primary eatery on Central Campus kicks off what promises to be an of the Bull City Street Food and Belgian eventful year for Duke Dining.

Duke-UNC faculty movement under the microscope Abigail Xie The Chronicle After a lawsuit was filed this summer, faculty movement between Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has become an increasingly scrutinized topic— and former Duke administrators claim that the the two institutions have avoided hiring each other’s faculty DR.

the UNC Department of Radiology’s cardiothoracic imaging division because of an agreement between the two institutions to not hire each other’s medical staff and faculty. The suit— which was filed June 9—contends that the no-hire agreement suppressed competition and employee wages, therefore violating federal and state anti-trust laws. According to the case file, Seaman became aware of the policy earlier this year, but the UNC chief of cardiothoracic imaging—who is unnamed in the file— believed the policy had been in place for several years after Duke had previously tried to recruit the entire bone marrow transplant team from UNC. “The general rule was that we didn’t recruit there and they didn’t recruit at Duke—it certainly was in the years

I was in the administration,” said John Burness, former senior vice president for public affairs and government relations from 1991 to 2008. “I don’t know if it’s ever been a formal agreement, but it’s certainly been a practice over a long period of time.” Burness—now a visiting professor of the practice in the Sanford School of Public Policy—noted that he could not recall an instance in which a faculty member from UNC was recruited to Duke during Nannerl Keohane’s tenure as president of the University from 1993 to 2004. Keohane also confirmed that during her time as president the University avoided poaching of UNC faculty. Recently, however, the former chair of the chemistry department at UNC, Valerie Ashby, elected to take

on a prominent position at Duke by replacing Laurie Patton as dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences. This exchange of an administrator to a deanship role between Duke and UNC is unusual, and Burness believes it is the first time this has happened, although the lawsuit only mentions the no-hire policy as it applies to medical faculty, not senior administrators. “The question of whether Duke and UNC [or N.C. State] should attempt to recruit faculty from the other campus was always somewhat delicate,” Keohane, now Laurance S. Rockefeller distinguished visiting professor of public affairs at Princeton University, wrote in an email. “At least while I was president we tried to avoid aggressive recruitment.
