Duke set to settle research fraud lawsuit

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH YEAR, ISSUE 28

Incidents on campus part of national trend, SPLC says

Some of the incidents reported in recent months

Staff Reporter

By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

Duke is close to settling a long-running court case about its handling of false data related to $200 million in federal research grants.

The suit, which was filed against Duke in 2015 by former lab analyst Joseph Thomas, claims that Duke used falsified data to obtain research grants and covered up the fraud. Per court documents filed recently, a settlement is awaiting approval by the Department of Justice. According to Science Magazine, the terms of the settlement would be expected to become public Dec. 7.

Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, declined to comment on the case in an email to The Chronicle last week.

The lawsuit stems from fraud allegedly committed by former Duke researcher Erin Potts-Kant, who worked in the Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care department of Duke Health. Potts-Kant has had more than a dozen papers retracted since news broke of the allegedly faked data. She was arrested in 2013 for embezzling money from Duke.

Potts-Kant admitted to altering some of the data, but maintained that the experiments were actually run. According to Duke’s filings, PottsKant told the Ad Hoc Investigation Committee, which investigated her research following her arrest, that she had “fabricated and/or falsified [data] that were included in various publications and grant applications...”

The case was filed by Joseph Thomas—another former Duke employee—under the False Claims Act, which allows a “whistleblower” to bring a case when the federal government is allegedly being defrauded. Under the law, Duke could be forced to pay as much as $600 million.

In his suit, Thomas alleges that Potts-Kant manipulated data that she collected when studying the lung function of mice. Based on that data and pursuant research articles, she was then able to secure additional research funding from the federal government, according to the suit. These allegations bring more than 60 federal grants—totaling approximately $200 million from agencies like the National Institutes of Health and Environmental Protection Agency—into question.

Potts-Kant is not the only one accused of questionable conduct in the suit. Supervisors William Foster, former professor of medicine, and Monica Kraft, former division chief of the Pulmonary division, are accused of ignoring warnings of misconduct and being negligent in their supervision.

To date, Potts-Kant has had 16 papers retracted, according to the website Retraction Watch. Foster has been involved in 13 retractions.

Football falls by worst margin since 1990

By Winston Lindqwister Sports Managing Editor

Although the Blue Devils eventually fell to the sheer strength of Clemson’s talent up and down the roster, the Blue Devils’ opening quarter WAKE 59 against the Tigers DUKE 7 showed a defense that, despite numerous injuries, is competent in standing up to some of the best offenses in the nation.

Unfortunately for Duke, that defense looked like it never left South Carolina.

The Blue Devils were blown out 59-7

by Wake Forest on a rainy Senior Day at Wallace Wade Stadium. Aside from displaying one of its worst defensive performances of the season with a total

of 517 yards from the Demon Deacons, Duke’s offense was absolutely pitiful.

Dropped passes as well as one of the Blue Devils’ worst performances on the ground of 2018—against one of the ACC’s weakest rushing defenses—characterized Duke’s worst defeat since 1990. “[Wake Forest] won in every area of fight and intensity,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Our game maxims are important to us as a program, and No. 3 and No. 7 we didn’t live up to. No. 3 is, ‘If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up, put on more steam.’ We obviously didn’t accomplish that. No. 7 is ‘Carry the fight to the opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.’ We did not accomplish that....

Comparing Carr, Aycock: The people and the processes

By Bre Bradham Editor-In-Chief

Ben Leonard Managing Editor

Sean Cho | Contributing Photographer The Carr Building on East Campus houses the history department, which has filed a formal request asking for it to be renamed.

Chronicle File Photo Then-President Richard Brodhead renamed Aycock Residence Hall to East House in 2014, after student leaders passed a resolution in favor of the change.

Duke is known to have renamed one building due to its namesake’s racist history—Aycock Residence Hall. Now named East House, the East Campus residence hall was renamed in 2014, when thenPresident Richard Brodhead announced the change had been approved by the Board of Trustees after student leaders had called for renaming.

The University could, however, soon add another to the list.

Now, the faculty of Duke’s history department– joined by history alumni, student organizers and student leadership groups, among others—have requested that Duke rename the Carr Building, named for Julian Carr, known for espousing racist rhetoric and donor of the land that is now East Campus.

The process for requesting the Carr Building to be renamed is more formal than the ad-hoc process that occurred with Aycock Residence Hall. After President Vincent Price removed the statue of Robert E. Lee from the Chapel steps at the beginning of last school year, the Commission on Memory and History that he formed produced a recommendation for a process to reconsider the names of buildings and other memorials on campus.

The Carr Building is the first test of that process.

Comparing context of the two namesakes’ histories and the processes surrounding renaming offers insight into how Duke’s administrative processes around memory have changed since 2014.

Charles Aycock Charles Aycock was governor of North Carolina from 1901 to 1905. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1877 and started practicing law in 1881. He was known as the “Education Governor” due to his concern for public education, yet the privately schooled Aycock still endorsed segregated schools.

As governor, he pushed for white taxpayers to fund white schools and the black tax base to fund black public schools, thus granting more resources to whitesonly schools.

“Reconstruction events also influenced Aycock’s views regarding temporary black disfranchisement. He believed primarily that whites were more responsible and qualified to rule,” the North Carolina History Project encyclopedia entry on Aycock states. “The Republican Party, he claimed, duped many African Americans and that blacks were mere pawns of the

corrupt GOP. He proposed black disfranchisement as a means to clean up North Carolina politics.”

Although his platform as governor included better care of people with mental illness and an extended school year, it also featured the disenfranchisement of African Americans.

Before his term as governor, Aycock participated in the Wilmington Race Riots of 1898, in which dozens of black North Carolinians were killed.

Before the school became Duke University, Trinity College named the residence hall after Aycock in 1912, despite the fact that the governor had no direct ties to the school.

“The minutes of the Board of Trustees meeting which decided the name contain few clues as to why Aycock was chosen as the namesake: the former governor had never been a student or employee of Trinity, nor had he donated money to the school,” a 2014 Chronicle article states. At the same Board meeting, the Trustees named Jarvis Residence Hall for another North Carolina Governor—Thomas J. Jarvis—who had no known ties as well to then-Trinity College.

Julian Carr Carr, a “virulent white supremacist,” was integral in bringing Duke to its present location in Durham.

A former Confederate soldier who served on the Board of Trustees at Trinity College, Carr spoke at the dedication of Silent Sam, the statue of a Confederate solider that stood at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill until protesters toppled it this past August.

At the 1913 dedication, he boasted about “horsewhipp[ing] a negro wench until her skirts hung in shreds” because she “publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady.”

Carr endorsed the Ku Klux Klan’s tactics and argued that African Americans shouldn’t have the right to vote.

“The whole world admits that it was a mistake to have given universal suffrage to the negroes,” Carr said in 1899.

Although Aycock had no ties to Duke, tobacco magnate Carr was instrumental in the development of what is now Duke’s East Campus. Carr donated Blackwell Park to Trinity College, which became Duke University after merging with the Woman’s College in 1924.

“It is a reasonable assertion to say that Duke wouldn’t exist were it not for the generosity of Julian Carr. It is also true that he was a virulent white supremacist,” Academic Council Chair Don Taylor wrote in an email to The Chronicle.

Immune system plays role in allergic shock, Duke researchers find

By Rohin Shah Contributing Reporter

When a peanut is enough to trigger anaphylactic shock in some people, allergies are not just life-threatening, they’re lifealtering—people live in constant fear that if they’re not careful, any exposure could kill them.

That’s why scientists at Duke Health researched the mechanism by which immune cells are activated during anaphylactic shock. Before this study, scientists knew that mast cells released substances that can cause anaphylaxis when allergens entered the blood steam. But since mast cells cannot penetrate blood vessel lining, scientists were unsure how mast cells would know that allergens were in the blood stream.

The team’s work, published in the Nov. 9 issue of the journal Science, used mice models to discover that immune cells—dendritic cells—establish the contact between mast cells and allergens, sending the body into shutdown mode. With this discovery, new approaches can be developed to tackle deadly anaphylaxis.

“We found that the dendritic cells play a direct role in anaphylactic shock, which opens up huge possibilities for future medicine,” said Hae-Woong Choi, lead author and researcher in Duke’s Department of Pathology.

Allergies occur when the body mistakenly deems a substance harmful, causing mast cells to release mediators that cause symptoms such as watery eyes and a runny nose. Anaphylaxis is more dangerous than a regular allergy response, and can cause difficulty breathing, lowered blood pressure and death.

Although we understand the effects of anaphylactic shock, we don’t have a strong understanding of how it takes place or why it occurs so quickly.

Through altering the levels of immune cells in mice and then injecting them with toxins, researchers noted how these levels affect the intensity of anaphylactic shock.

When dendritic cells were lowered or removed, the mice experienced no anaphylactic symptoms. The researchers discovered how dendritic cells used probelike dendrites to quickly penetrate blood vessel walls, access allergens in the blood, and pass them along to

The mast cells then churned out mediators Current drugs focus on neutralizing the mediators that cause anaphylactic symptoms. released by mast cells and blocking symptoms from So, without dendritic cells, mast cells would never be able manifesting. Now, the researchers believe this finding to access the allergens, and anaphylaxis would not occur, changes the strategy for combating anaphylactic response according to this research. by targeting dendritic cells.

Flyers for ‘Identity Evropa’ found on campus

By Ben Leonard Managing Editor

Stickers for the white nationalist group “Identity Evropa” were found on campus by students Friday afternoon.

Stickers for Identity Evropa, which has been labeled a “white nationalist” group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, were found on a bench at the West Campus bus stop and a metal bench near Keohane Quadrangle, according to photos sent to The Chronicle by senior Connor King. By 4:00 p.m. Friday, the stickers at those locations were gone. An additional photo— showing a sticker plastered to a wooden swinging bench—was sent by senior Mumbi Kanyogo, a member of The Chronicle’s independent editorial board, who said that she heard that two had also been found near Perkins Library.

King said that he spotted the flyers around 2:45 p.m.

Friday, and that he pulled three down on West Campus.

The senior, who found one of the stickers on the metal bench at Keohane Quad, said the location of the flyer

near residential space was concerning to him.

“It’s pretty upsetting,” King said.

People’s State of the University, an activist group that formed last semester, posted photos of the flyers on social media Friday afternoon, encouraging students to take photos of the stickers and take them down if they see any around campus.

According to the SPLC, Identity Evropa is one of the “alt-right’s” recruiting mechanisms, aimed at pushing white, college-aged men towards white nationalism.

“Rather than denigrating people of color, the campusbased organization focuses on raising white racial consciousness, building community based on shared racial identity and intellectualizing white supremacist ideology,” the SPLC website says.

On its Twitter account, the group frequently posts photos of their stickers around the country, and particularly on college campuses. From Nov. 21 to 23, the Twitter account showed photos labeled as being from the University of North Florida, University of Rochester, University of Montana, San Jose City College and De Anza Community College.

Friday evening, the group posted on their Twitter account with photos of the flyers.

Racially charged actions have occurred repeatedly on Duke’s campus in recent months. Several weeks ago, a pumpkin with a swastika carved into it was found on East Campus, along with sheets of paper printed saying “It’s okay to be white.”

The flyers come just days after a swastika was painted over students’ mural memorializing the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue. In the wake of the swastika, President Vincent Price pledged that a security camera would be installed at the bridge, and increased levels of security would be maintained at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life and other parts of campus.

Earlier in the year, “n*****” was written in place of the word “black” on a sign for the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture. In April, the phrase “n***** lover” was written on the apartment door of a 300 Swift resident during the night.

IT’S SO CREAMY

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 1 Catherine Eagles rejected Duke’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. That June, the University admitted that falsified data “potentially affected” funding applications.

“We are pleased that the parties have reached a settlement,” attorneys for the plaintiff told Science Mag. The terms of the settlement may not be limited to financial penalties, Joel Androphy, a lawyer who specializes in FCA cases, told Science Mag, and they could also include additional oversight on funding.

In March, The Chronicle reported that the National Institutes of Health was placing new regulations on the University’s research in the wake of Duke’s high-profile misconduct cases. The new guidelines, which took effect April 1, require researchers who are applying for more than $250,000 to submit a detailed budget of their expected costs, and researchers must seek the NIH’s approval to extend grant budget periods or carry unused funds into the next budget period.

“NIH reports that these new requirements are a result of its concerns about Duke’s management of several research misconduct cases and grant management issues that date back to 2010, some of which have been widely reported like the Anil Potti case,” stated a memo announcing the change to faculty and staff from Provost Sally Kornbluth, Chancellor for Health Affairs A. Eugene Washington, Mary Klotman, dean of the School of Medicine, and Marion Broome, dean of the School of Nursing.

Duke recently created a new position to oversee scientific integrity. The role—”vice dean and associate vice provost for scientific integrity”—will work with people throughout Duke to “provide a consistent University vision for scientific integrity standards and expectations and will drive efforts to ensure the advancement of scientific integrity across Duke University and the School of Medicine.”

When asked if the new position was related to the ongoing litigation, Schoenfeld said it was part of an ongoing effort related to integrity.

“The appointment of the new vice dean/associate vice provost is part of Duke’s ongoing effort—that started several years ago—to ensure that faculty and staff at Duke have the training, support and direction to ensure that all research conducted on campus is held to the highest standards of integrity,” he wrote in an email.

RUDE A-WAKENING

The Blue Devils’ lack of energy on the field was reflected in the crowd at Wallace Wade Stadium

By Hank Tucker Associate Sports Editor

Nobody could have seen such a pathetic performance coming from Duke Saturday afternoon—both because the Blue Devils were a double-digit favorite and haven’t lost a football game that badly in 28 years, and because nobody was at Wallace Wade Stadium to see anything coming at all.

Duke was dead on arrival on a gloomy, rainy Senior Day, entering a stadium that was less than 10 percent full at kickoff and never had any energy with students home on a holiday weekend. It was a showing reminiscent of the 2000s, when the Blue Devils regularly went 0-12 or 1-11, and Duke’s quality of play sunk past that level in its 59-7 loss that was already 21-0 at the end of the first quarter and kept getting worse.

“I think we get motivated by a big atmosphere. I don’t blame fans as we put out an awful product and it was awful weather out there,” redshirt senior center Zach Harmon said. “Guys weren’t juiced up. Guys weren’t ready to play. Wake Forest, they brought their own juice and didn’t need a big crowd or anything to get them pumped up to play football. Today, we were lacking the energy that they brought.”

As embarrassing losses go, Saturday’s effort certainly takes the cake, but the Blue Devils haven’t performed well at home in ACC play all season to build up to such a grand finale. Duke was favored against both Virginia Tech and Virginia before losing by multiple touchdowns, and it barely escaped a North Carolina team that just wrapped up a 2-9 season.

That 1-3 ACC home record is becoming the norm for the Blue Devils for the last three

up the track around the stadium and built the gleaming Blue Devil Tower to replace the bland sports medicine building that used to loom over the sideline. The goal was to improve the fan experience, getting students closer to the field in the end zone and giving boosters more luxurious and expensive treatment with food and drinks in the club in the tower.

That type of upgrade may never have paid off at a school where basketball will always reign supreme, but it would certainly help for the Blue Devils to win more games at the new-and-improved stadium.

Duke was practically begging people to show up for Saturday’s game, offering free tickets and concessions vouchers to students of all ages to sit in the student section as well as $15 tickets and concessions vouchers for their family and friends. A glance at the student section showed that promotion didn’t work, with the Duke marching band playing for nobody.

Perhaps it was good for the program’s future that so few fans were around to witness Saturday’s loss. They’ll show up on opening night next year blissfully ignorant of how bad the Blue Devils can look in person.

“I don’t know if there’s an answer to that,” said quarterback Daniel Jones, Duke’s starter for all three of those seasons.

“Wherever we play we’re responsible to bring our own intensity.”

Meanwhile, Duke has been a respectable 2-2 on the road in conference play for the last two years, with impressive victories against the Yellow Jackets and Hurricanes this season. That’s the same road record as this year’s Coastal Division champion, Pittsburgh.

But the Blue Devils haven’t been

“The bottom line is our 11th year here, you’ve got to be mature enough to play your best football. That’s what good programs do,” head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Regardless of circumstance, weather, home or away, the kind of focus it takes to win a Power-5 conference game is very challenging. So we obviously need to mature our team in that regard and address that fact.”

Duke exploited from the perimeter in defeat

By Glen Morgenstern Staff Writer

With Duke’s first-ever contest against Missouri tied at halftime Sunday, somebody had to break the game open. Nobody expected it to be Tiger role player Hannah Schuchts.

Yet, Schuchts’ perfect performance from the field pushed No. 21 Missouri past Duke 62-54 in the fifth-place game of the Gulf Coast Showcase at Hertz Arena in Estero, Fla. The Blue Devils could DUKE 54 not find a solution to MIZZOU 62 the redshirt junior guard, especially in the second half, when she scored 22 of her career-high 25 points. Schuchts shot 8-for8 from the field while sinking all six of her 3-point attempts in 28 minutes. Overall, the Tigers struggled to find their shot in the first quarter but peppered Duke from deep afterwards, draining a school-record 16 3-pointers on the day.

Meanwhile, the Blue Devils were unable to

break down the Missouri defense, notching just six assists as a team. They shot a mere 38.8 percent from the field—29.4 percent from 3-point range—and were often forced to take difficult shots against their first ranked opponent this season.

“Offensively, we just need to find our point guard,” Duke head coach Joanne P. McCallie told GoDuke.com. “We need to find a place where we can distribute the basketball. You can’t win too many games getting [six] assists.”

Despite some sloppy play, Duke (3-3) owned a 12-8 lead by the end of the first quarter. However, the Tigers (5-2) came roaring back in the next frame. Although the Blue Devils’ length prevented Missouri from finding quality shots in the paint, the Tigers didn’t need them. In fact, Missouri did not score a 2-point basket the entire first half, instead relying on eight treys to knot the game at 26 apiece heading into the break.

Five questions: Duke to face Indiana in rematch

By Mitchell Gladstone Sports Features Editor

With Duke set to take on Indiana for a second straight season in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, The Chronicle spoke with Indiana Daily Student men’s basketball beat writer Ben Portnoy to dive into the Hoosiers and what they’ll bring to Cameron Indoor Tuesday night.

Note: Some answers have been edited for length and clarity.

The Chronicle: How good is Indiana freshman guard Romeo Langford?

Ben Portnoy: There are almost no words to describe how good this kid is. The thing that has stuck out most to me is how well he moves around the basket. When you see him in the lane, when you see him get up around the rim, his finishing ability and his ability to just hang in the air is really a work of art.

He finishes tough plays with ease.

I think the other thing that sticks out about him is his motor—he almost seems like he’s not trying sometimes because of his demeanor and the way that he plays. It’s so silky smooth and he can cover so much space with that 6-foot-6 frame.

I will say, the one thing that sometimes may be left in question is his jump shot. He’s not a great 3-point shooter but where he makes his money is at the rim.

TC: Looking at KenPom.com, the

Hoosiers are up in defensive efficiency from No. 65 last year to 28th in the nation, as of now. After giving up 91 points to the Blue Devils last year, why is Indiana improved on the defensive end of things?

BP: Part of that is just the length this team has. They have athletes and guys who can defend on the wing, and I think that’s what head coach Archie Miller expected out of this recruiting class—a five-man group that was ranked in the top 10 in the country.

Really, when you look at it, that’s mostly why it works. With a pack-line defense, you’re out trying to force steals, you’re on people 1-on-1, and I think that’s the wish Miller’s been granted this year with the bodies that he has.

Even a guy like Al Durham, who’s 6-foot4, has been playing the point guard and he’s pretty long for that spot. The same goes for Jake Forrester, who hasn’t seen a ton of minutes but fits into that mold.

Zach McRoberts, at 6-foot-6, causes a lot of tipped balls, a lot of steals, and the same could be said for Damezi Anderson, who’s turned into a kind of 3-and-D player.

TC: You talked about the Hoosiers’ recruiting class—can freshman point guard Rob Phinisee handle the pressure of Cameron Indoor?

BP: It’s a real test, but I think the thing that stands out most about Phinisee is that he’s about as poised as they come. This is a

kid that really doesn’t get rattled by the big stage, and I know that it’s limited this early in the season, but he really is mature beyond his years. He has an understanding of this offense that Indiana hasn’t had at the point guard position since Yogi Ferrell.

He really is a guy that Miller didn’t expect to be quite this ready to play at the college level when he got here. He just has

a knack for the game, a high basketball IQ, and I think he’ll be able to lean on that in a raucous environment.

TC: Where is the Hoosiers’ biggest weakness at this point?

BP: It’s twofold. Part of it is in the interior and the other is depth. At center, See M. BASKETBALL on Page 13

MEN’S SOCCER

Maryland eliminates Blue Devils with shutout

By Anne Crabill Staff Writer

The Blue Devils struggled to put in the ball in the net throughout this season, and that inability haunted the team in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

On a chilly Saturday evening at Koskinen Stadium, No. 6 seed Duke fell 2-0 against 11th seeded Maryland. Despite numerous chances on the offensive end, the Blue Devils could not find the means to finish against a tough Terrapin defense.

“We had the right players in the right spaces and we just didn’t finish off the pass or the cross. And it was a bummer because normally we do and we go on and win the game handily,” head coach John Kerr said. “But hats off to Maryland, 2 they’re really savvy MD 0 and they knew how DUKE to wind the game down and slow it down and take advantage of moments. They’re an experienced team with an experienced coach.

“I’m disappointed for our guys. We didn’t play a bad game at all. We played a really good game and it’s a shame because I feel that we didn’t take advantage of all our capabilities.”

Early in the first half, Duke controlled the pace of play and held the ball in the final third more than the Terrapins. In the 18th minute, Issa Rayyan attacked the Maryland defense from the right side, rocketing a shot that missed just wide of the left post.

In the 24th minute, freshman William James Herve scored the first of the Terrapins’ two goals on a scissor-kick volley set up by Paul Bin’s cross.

Daniele Proch led the Blue Devils in scoring this season, but he was unable to find the back of the net when it mattered most.

“We were in total control until we gave that goal away late in the first half,” Kerr explained.

“The momentum changes when goals are scored and we were totally on the offensive for most of the half and they got a little bit of momentum after they scored.”

Three minutes later, Maryland attacked again but Blue Devil goalie Will Pulisic made an extremely difficult save, sending Herve’s 30-yard shot just off the top bar. In another brilliant defensive effort, Brandon Williamson prevented a second score. Amar Sejdic shot just past Pulisic’s right side and the ball neared the goal line before Williamson almost magically appeared from the right, sliding his left foot in front of the ball.

As the first half wound down, Duke

trailed the Terrapins 1-0 but moved the ball well in the offensive third and tirelessly looked for an equalizer.

Coming out of the break, the Blue Devils had several tantalizing chances to put one in the back of the net. In the 50th minute, Duke was poised to secure a score but Daniele Proch’s point-blank shot couldn’t get pass the Maryland keeper.

Sixty minutes into the contest, a Blue Devil mix-up play proved costly. The Terrapins capitalized on a stolen back pass for another Maryland goal, extending the lead to 2-0.

“From then on we were chasing them, really trying to get back in and get one goal and we had several opportunities to get that one goal which would have propelled us to another level if we had scored and we couldn’t pull it off,”

Kerr said.

But the Blue Devils wouldn’t go down without a fight. Duke found its way to the offensive third where Kristofer Gardarsson had a potentially game-changing service.

Unfortunately, Daniele Proch couldn’t handle the ball enough to slide it past the Terrapin keeper. Dayne St. Clair anchored Maryland’s defense with eight saves on the night.

“I’m really proud of the group. We’re going to lose three great seniors and two grad students and they really contributed a lot to the program, especially the three seniors that were for four years. I feel that they’ve seen the program grow from a non-playoff team to now two years in a row we’re the top seed,” Kerr said. “I’m disappointed for them because I wanted them to go farther into the playoffs. It’s a shame because we were a good team. But it’s hard to take and you just got to let it burn and let it help you for next year.”

Despite losing talent and experience, Duke looks poised to have another strong year next season, particularly with its returning offensive firepower. Junior Daniele Proch closed out the Blue Devils’ campaign with 26 points on 11 goals and garnered AllACC first team accolades.

In addition to Proch’s prowess near the net, Issa Rayyan tabbed a standout freshman campaign. The ACC Rookie of the Year finished the season with 15 points, the most for any Blue Devil freshman since Brody Huitema’s 16 in 2013.

Freshman Ian Murphy and sophomore defender Matthias Frick also contributed three goals a piece on the season. While the Blue Devils weren’t able to put all of the pieces together against a tough Maryland defense, Duke still hung tough and could make another NCAA tournament run in 2019.

BLUE ZONE

Take of the week: Is Duke’s loss a good thing?

By Ben Leonard Blue Zone Columnist

Duke never really had it quite right.

Tre Jones and Zion Williamson—of all people—missed dunks. The Blue Devils were discombobulated and seemingly lacking a clear sense of purpose of what to do with the ball for stretches of the first half. Finally, R.J. Barrett missed five shots in the final minute.

It all might sting now for Duke fans, but the No. 1 Blue Devils’ 89-87 loss to No. 3 Gonzaga Wednesday was an invaluable reality check and learning opportunity for a team that will be contending for a title later this year. I’m not generally optimistic about young teams, and I wasn’t heading into this season.

This team has it—just not yet.

No, Duke wouldn’t beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, as some analysts have ludicrously floated.

And no, of course it wasn’t going to go undefeated, despite how it demolished Kentucky.

In spite of Barrett’s poor handling of the final minute of the game and a barrage of stupid mistakes throughout the game teamwide, the Blue Devils were almost able to knock off Gonzaga in a game they had no business winning, considering how poorly the

first half went.

That’s why it’s clear they’ll be there when it’s all said and done.

Barrett has been the top dog his whole life, even in Duke’s stacked recruiting class. Of course he was going to force shot after shot with the game on the line.

Never was that more apparent than on the final play in regulation, when Barrett shuffled indecisively at the top of the key. It wasn’t going to be a good shot—especially since he seemed to be leaning on a foul call to bail him out the end.

He took it anyway, but that doesn’t seem like a shot Barrett will take again down the road. He’s too good not to learn from this moment, against one of the nation’s top teams with most of the nation lounging on their couches watching.

As for the dunks, those were just throw-away moments—they likely won’t happen again. And finally, as to the sloppiness in the first half, it was exacerbated by Gonzaga’s absurd shooting. The Bulldogs were shooting better than 70 percent from the field—that’s just unreal.

Pair that with some youthful Blue Devil stagnation on offense, and you’ve got a dreary first half—relative to the heavens-high

Tre Jones missed a crucial dunk with Duke holding a 2-point advantage in the first half. expectations. That stagnation will most likely morph into a much more efficient assembly line of wins.

Overall, my concerns heading into the season—a lack of depth behind the four elite

freshmen, 3-point shooting and defense—have mostly been quelled.

From the opening whistle, the Blue Devils looked outmatched.

In the game’s first drive, Wake Forest’s runheavy attack rammed right through Duke’s significantly weakened defense. The Demon Deacons’ Cade Carney, who ended the afternoon with a monstrous 223 rushing yards absolutely torched the Blue Devil defense, stringing together four solid runs before notching a trip to the end zone.

“He’s a pretty thick guy,” junior linebacker Koby Quansah said of Carney. “He likes to run downhill, he likes to run hard. He’s patient. I think he’s a great back with a lot of patience. He does what he needs to do to get the job done.”

Duke’s first half troubles didn’t end there, as Wake Forest’s Demetrius Kemp knocked the ball out of Deon Jackson’s hands on the Blue Devils’ second drive, setting the Demon Deacons up at the Duke 17. From there, Wake Forest quarterback Jamie Newman found little resistance on his trip to the end zone, giving his team a 14-point advantage just eight minutes into play.

The Demon Deacons (6-6, 3-5 in the ACC) would find one more touchdown to end the quarter—again propped up by a

W. BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 6 Redshirt junior guard Haley Gorecki shined with 14 points in the first half for Duke, though no other Blue Devil put up more than four points before the break.

Gorecki finished the game with 24 points on 7-of-20 shooting and seven rebounds to lead Duke.

Entering Sunday’s game, Schuchts was averaging 4.5 points per game this season.

She exploded in the third quarter with a trio of threes and a layup. Duke forward Leaonna Odom nearly matched her, scoring 10 points in the period. A putback and a pair of free throws from Odom brought the Blue Devils within one at the end of the third.

But in the final quarter, nobody could keep pace with Schuchts, whose 11 points helped Missouri finally pull away from Duke.

Her only miss was a late free throw. Many key misses for the Blue Devils, on the other hand, led to them being outscored 23-16 in the fourth quarter.

“Down the stretch, we lost our poise and took some shots you can’t take when you’re trying to get back in a game,” McCallie said.

strong series of plays both on the ground and through the air to which the Blue Devils simply had no answer.

Although the Blue Devils (7-5, 3-5) felt a spark of hope with a strong touchdown drive capped off by a six-yard completion to Deon Jackson early in the second quarter, Duke could not gain any momentum from the play. The next seven drives for both teams would end with early punts as both the Blue Devils and the Demon Deacons stagnated.

“You get that momentum when you score and our defense had the momentum with their own three-and-out, but we kind of crapped the bed a little bit there,” redshirt senior center Zach Harmon said. “We didn’t capitalize on literally anything tonight and that’s why I’m so frustrated. I can’t tell you exactly why but we didn’t have the energy Wake Forest had.”

Unfortunately for Duke, the Blue Devils would suffer a punch to the gut late in the half when Daniel Jones threw a pick-six to Nasir Greer. Wake Forest notched a field goal to close out the half, and Duke faced a daunting 24-point deficit heading into the locker room.

Wake Forest would notch four more touchdowns against the Blue Devils, as Duke’s defense simply did not have the mileage without senior linebacker and defensive leader Ben Humphreys as well as a bevy of other injured starters.

To make matters worse for the Blue Devils, all hopes for a strong showing from Duke vanished with an uncharacteristically weak performance

“You have to get to the rack, get to the freethrow line—and we had our chances at the free-throw line as well.”

Missouri’s star player, first-team All-SEC guard Sophie Cunningham, struggled mightily throughout Sunday’s game. She finished with just eight points while shooting 3-of-14 from the field.

In spite of Cunningham’s off day, the Tigers shot an efficient 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.

The Blue Devils won the rebounding battle for the second straight game, 3531, thanks in part to freshman Onome Akinbode-James’ career-high 11 boards.

However, Duke again fell characteristically short from the foul line, converting just 11-of-18 attempts. The team is shooting under 60 percent from the charity stripe this season.

“We’re learning slow,” McCallie said.

“We need to learn a little bit quicker, and we need to learn about offensive poise and the decisions we make throughout the game.”

The loss meant a sixth-place finish at the Gulf Coast Showcase—hardly the result the Blue Devils were looking for. Duke will look to get back in the win column in the upcoming ACC/Big Ten Challenge at Wisconsin.

from Jones. The potential first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft completed 17-of-36 passes for a total of 145 yards. Coupled with a completely ineffective run game against one of the weakest rushing defenses in the nation—Wake Forest ranks 99th in the nation in defending the run— Duke only generated 106 yards on the ground and the Blue Devil offense had no hope in digging Duke out of its first-half hole.

The Blue Devils will look to lick their wounds in preparation for their secondstraight entry into a bowl game. Duke will

find out who its postseason opponent will be Sunday when bowl bids are officially handed out.

“We know just from last year how much that final win, that confidence takes into the bowl season,” Harmon said. “We didn’t get that this year so it’s going to be really difficult, but it’s going to be really important to stick to the little things and do the little things right in this week and a half where we don’t have practice or anything, just kind of get back to Duke football.”

De’Ron Davis is working back from a torn Achilles and he’s still in the rehab process—he’s been playing but his minutes have been limited.

And beyond that, injuries have just killed this team early in the season.

McRoberts hasn’t played in a couple of weeks, Devonte Green hasn’t played since the second game, and although they’re not guys that are going to score you a lot of points, they kind of build the foundation of this team. It forces guys like Anderson to play tons of minutes when he shouldn’t. You could say the same about Phinisee, who wasn’t expected to take the starting point guard spot but I could foresee taking that role going forward.

On paper, this is a really deep team when everyone’s healthy. But when you have to have the eighth, ninth, 10th guy in that rotation playing starter’s minutes, that’s going to be a problem.

TC: Lastly, like Duke, Indiana doesn’t have a true post player. How do the Hoosiers try to go about attacking the Blue Devils’ limited depth inside?

BP: If you’re looking for post guys, Davis and Juwan Morgan are your best bet. Those guys make their money in the paint. Davis is more of a true, old-fashioned center—he’s not super mobile outside of 12, 13 feet but he has some nice touch inside, he’s physical around the rim, he’ll bully you under the basket.

The same goes for Morgan. At 6-foot8, he’s not afraid to bump with guys underneath, he really has the ability to battle inside with, say a Marques Bolden.

And I think you will see him do a lot of his work around the basket, though he does have a jump shot.

Jack White and Javin DeLaurier, and shooting behind the arc has been promising—Cam Reddish looks lethal.

And sure, Duke’s defense hasn’t been stellar, but it’s a young team with a lot of time to grow. Plus, it seems they can score their way out of almost any deficit.

The most encouraging sign from Wednesday’s loss: “Zombie Duke” rose again.

Facing a 14-point deficit midway through the second half, some other teams may have rolled over and taken the loss—especially young ones. But Duke only turned on the gas, and probably would have won had it, if not for poor execution down the stretch.

It’s clear: this isn’t a team full of lottery picks already trying on NBA jerseys or absorbed with their own highlights after losses. It might not be just perfect, but it will be. They’re in it together.

Teams that play together win it all together.

Fascism and the impulse to surveil

espite the majority of undergraduates spending the past week on brief reprieve from campus, Duke still managed to make local news headlines during Thanksgiving break. On Friday, students found multiple stickers and flyers on West Campus bearing the logo of Identity Evropa, a neoNazi and white supremacist organization that targets college-aged white men for recruitment.

This comes after a semester’s worth of white supremacist hate speech incidents—vandalism of Mary Lou Center, pumpkins carved with swastikas, “It’s okay to be white” flyers on East Campus and a swastika painted over the Pittsburgh shooting mural—which have averaged out to nearly one every three weeks.

It’s a familiar repertoire now for most in the Duke community. The cycle begins with someone finding or seeing vandalism or targeted acts of hate. Following that, The Chronicle reports on it and the story rapidly gains attention across campus. When students express outrage and demand change or an appropriate response from University leadership, we are often met with a pithy, toothless reply from administration. Once it becomes clear no tangible reforms will take

place, students eventually are forced to return to problem sets or essays in Perkins. Rinse and repeat.

However, the most recent incidents have spurred a twist to this now-familiar series of unfortunate events. President Price announced plans to install security cameras at the East Campus bridge and increase security presence at the

Editorial Board

Freeman Center for Jewish Life, among other locations, after someone painted a swastika over an East Campus bridge mural memorializing the Pittsburgh shooting.

Although this certainly deviates from the usual modus operandi of emails with ultimately meaningless platitudes, Price’s reaction deserves further scrutiny.

It appears dubious at best that security cameras will actually accomplish anything and not simply end up as another momentary solvent to an outsized crisis. If a future vandal were a student and was identified by the surveillance, what would the consequences be without a robust hate and bias policy? Would the student actually face consequences or would it fade away, á la the Snapchat incident from spring 2018? If the perpetrator had no Duke affiliation, is there any jurisdiction for the University over the case? Would Duke pursue legal action? Once again, Duke’s chronic lack of transparency obscures the protocol for potential future incidents.

Furthermore, this newly announced reactive measure calls for critical analysis given the complicated and violent history of surveillance on a national and university level. On campus, Duke Alerts sent out by the Duke University Police Department (DUPD) are perfect examples of dangerous policing methods currently in place. Wide-spread notifications about suspects are based off of eyewitness testimony—a notoriously unreliable method of identification— and include estimated race and gender. Suddenly everyone fitting the meager profile is a surveilled

threat. This tactic can be especially dangerous for black members of the Duke community who, statistically, already face elevated risk for violence from police and—as a result of rampant antiblack racism—are perceived as more threatening than white counterparts.

One need not look far for documented cases of black students becoming targets of racial profiling by campus security. Earlier this year, a Yale University graduate student was confronted by police for napping in her dorm common room. On a national level, there have been multiple rigorous studies disproving the validity of practices like “broken windows” policing and “community policing.” It’s clear that increased police presence and surveillance does not mean more safety for our communities.

What it entails is the racialized management, alienation and brutalization of people of color, particularly black and brown people.

As this semester comes to an end, it is all too clear that elite institutions like ours are not immune or indifferent to white supremacy.

Rather, they are prime breeding grounds and active facilitators for white supremacy to flourish without much hinderance other than the occasional student protests that go in and out of administrators’ ears. Pressure is mounting to recognize that these racist ideologies festering on campus aren’t merely differences of opinion; they are the expression of the insidious forces of racism, classism and sexism that undergird our society.

What will the University do to be proactive rather than reactive? When will they raise the bar of the bare minimum and build around safety, not security?

An open letter to John Noonan

D

ear Mr. John Noonan, Because we did not hear from you when we sent you this letter privately, we are now sending this letter to the Duke Chronicle to publish publicly.

On behalf of Duke Students and Workers Alliance, a

Duke Students and Workers Alliance GUEST COLUMN coalition of students and workers pressing for equitable change, I would like to request a meeting with you—for the sixth time.

We’d like to better understand how and why scheduling changes are made for University Housekeepers--the workers responsible for taking care of our academic buildings. We recently had a friendly conversation with Mr. Joe Gonzalez and other Housing and Residential Life administration regarding the shift of residential dorm housekeepers to a 7-day schedule.

We would like to build a relationship with your department as well.

As Vice President for Facilities, your department was responsible for the rebidding process that would have forced many university housekeepers out of their shifts and locations. Though no change was eventually implemented, newer workers may have been forced to work shifts incompatible with their schedules, take unwanted late-night shifts, or quit their jobs.

You have told us in an email that, “We have not changed anything within University Housekeeping and therefore have no reason to meet.” We strongly disagree. Although the change was cancelled, there continues to be little transparency or community input into these modifications.

In your letter to employees, you said that facilities will explore “other, less disruptive options” to the rebidding process. and we would like to take part in that process. Please allow workers and students to build a relationship with you. It is time that workers at Duke are given the dignity that they deserve.

Sincerely, Duke Students and Workers Alliance This letter was written by Trinity seniors Grace Mok, Jacob Glasser, Jasmine Lu, Helen Yang and James Rees.

t seems almost fitting that I applied for this column as a joke. After all, isn’t that what satire is? The joke that’s just a little too real, the one that makes people laugh uneasily and start looking for the exits. On the application, I wrote a short piece about Larry Moneta and Avengers: Infinity War, except this time it wasn’t the superheroes who dissolved into dust, but our beloved coffee shop Joe van Gogh. You know the meme. It wasn’t very serious work, but underneath the bad puns and stupid jokes it rang true.

When I found out that I was going to be the next Monday Monday, I laughed out loud and then started to panic. Anyone

Monday Monday COLUMNIST

who’s ever tried “doing comedy” knows that there’s a difference between joking with your friends at dinner and actually crafting something that an audience would laugh at. I’m not some kind of HumorBot, so I was worried about being able to produce comedy on demand.

But that’s not really the point, is it? Sure, comedy and satire are both about making people laugh, but good satire does something else. It makes you think. I applied for Monday Monday because I saw things happening at Duke that needed to be called out. When I became Monday Monday, I promised myself that I would use the platform to say what needed to be said, the things we’re all thinking about but sometimes struggle to express. Every two weeks, I tried to make good on that promise.

In my columns, I addressed racism and hate on campus, the dizzying culture surrounding SLGs, the problems with Line Monitor attitudes and the administration of K-ville, and Duke’s

(now-rescinded) plan to cancel student healthcare. It wasn’t all serious. Burger Shack, Duke’s win over Kentucky, and a few trips to West Union brought some good-feels to the bunch.

In my role as Satirist-in-Chief, I hoped to bring your attention to issues at Duke that need to be discussed. It’s quite a list. In short: our social culture is a mess; our administrators are often out of touch with student life, although some have made more effort than others to connect with the community; our housing system is, at best, a patchwork of contradictory values and clashing desires, and at worst, a destructive element that leaves students feeling alone and disconnected from each other; and bigotry is not only alive on campus, but thriving, with no substantive action taken to reduce the spread of hate and violence.

A quick note on hatred at Duke, for those readers that might not understand yet. We have problems that no tour guide will explain to you. They aren’t reflected in the U.S. News College Rankings or written about in the Wall Street Journal’s profile on Duke or mentioned in press releases from university administration. No, the only time these issues are discussed are when it’s too late. Administration always waits until after the murals are defaced to confront the issue, and even then they offer only a templated platitude/apology that calls for hope and expresses sorrow in equal measure. The result feels focus-group tested and hollow, a packaged response that checks every box except sincerity. We’ve seen the emails so many times now that I’m certain any student could recite one from memory.

What is hate? It’s a good question, one that bears considering as we move forward. Hate is a weed. It takes root in fear, watered by indifference, and spreads its roots until it’s almost impossible to get rid of. And yet, that is the task ahead of us. We stand at a difficult and dangerous crossroads in our history, as a nation and a university, when countless forces threaten to undo the progress we’ve made. Something needs to change.

As a university, our current course is unacceptable. President

Price, in your latest email you promised that your administration would do “whatever we can” to protect our safety. I hope you mean that, sir. So far, you’ve been weak when you should’ve been strong and noncommittal when you should’ve been decisive.

We need to do better, and that starts with you.

Things look pretty bad right now. But despite it all, there’s a lot we can be thankful for. Across campus, hundreds of students and faculty members have lobbied administration for solutions to these problems. After threats to revoke their healthcare, students spoke up in outrage forced administration to apologize and back down. It’s not just them. Graduate students are fighting for a living wage. Students have fought to raise awareness of hunger and homelessness, reform our housing system, speak out against acts of hatred on campus, and so much more.

Darkness rises, yes, but light rises to meet it.

There are probably people out there who think that none of this matters: they’re wrong. Writing is a kind of speaking that travels farther than sound. It moves through the minds of the people that read it and, in doing so, can change everything about them. Our voices can and do make a difference, even now. Especially now.

Fighting for justice and truth and equality matters, particularly when it seems like all three are under assault.

I couldn’t have done this without support. To everyone who writes for the Chronicle, especially Editorial Page Editor Frances Beroset, who was the best editor anyone could ask for, thank you for doing the work that you do. It’s easy to take the free press for granted, but hard to imagine what our lives would be like without it. To my friends, thanks for listening (or pretending to listen) to me when I go on long rants about injustice on campus. To my family, thanks for being there for me through everything. And, of course, to my fellow Blue Devils. Keep fighting and keep writing.

I’m Will Brodner, and I’ve been your Monday Monday.

Thanks for reading.

f you listen to some Duke students, you would think the relationship between Duke and Durham is fraught at best, outright exploitative at worst. In the pages of the Chronicle one columnist blasts Duke for cancelling its funding of the underutilized Bull City Connector bus line, an act which the columnist claimed “inherently said something about [the bus’] passengers and their worth.”

Presumably, Duke thinks Durham residents are worth very little. In a column lambasting President Price and Duke’s decision to change the work shift system for its Durhamite workers, another columnist teeters toward accusing Duke of perpetuating slavery. Somehow, an administrator justifying said decision by saying it was made considering the best use of “staffing

Reiss Becker COLUMNIST and housekeeping resources” prompted the columnist to ask “When else in the history of America have people of color been called “resources?” If the columnist is right that referring to workers as resources necessarily implies slavery, then every Human Resources department of every business in the country is now an official remnant of American slavery.

The columnist is probably not right.

Despite its apparent absurdity, the idea that Duke is some malicious overseer of Durham has plenty of appeal. When they take a break from alienating alumni, Duke’s resident radicals, the “People’s State of the University”, also enjoy pushing the narrative of Duke as “The Plantation.” I asked once and I’m forced to ask again, does Duke really deserve the comparison to a plantation? Is Duke exploiting Durham and its residents?

As I see it, there are two sides in this debate.

The first consists of those who believe in, what I will call, “The Durham Deficit.” In short, they believe that Durham suffers as a result of its relationship with Duke. They are convinced

that Duke is not a lynchpin of the Durham community, but a leech that derives power and wealth by exploiting Durham and its residents.

I don’t buy that. I support a different side, a counter argument I’ll dub “The Duke Dividend.”

To understand why the wellbeing of both Duke and Durham are inextricably linked, one has to understand the vision that created what is known today as Research Triangle Park.

Entering the 1950s, Durham’s chief export remained what it had always been: death.

Tobacco had played a large role in the city’s economy since the end of the Civil War, but in the mid-20th century, as Durham’s manufacturing base and textile mills entered a state of permanent decline, the cash crop took on a new centrality. Despite tobacco’s economic significance, local leaders knew that Durham could not afford to depend on the industry for city’s long term growth. Fortunately for Durham and the entire Triangle region, the key to economic progress lay right under their noses—three premier research universities in the form of NC State, UNC, and Duke. In a region with “one of the lowest wage structures and poorest education systems in the nation,” these leaders wanted a brighter future based on integrated economic progress between regional cities and their respective universities.

To do that, they envisioned the largest, nonprofit research park in the United States with the research universities as a selling point to attract talent, new business, and outside investment and with the local cities as the

primary economic beneficiaries. With that vision, Research Triangle Park (RTP) was established in 1951.

In the years since, Durham and Duke have made incredible strides together, to the benefit of both school and city. Today, according to an economic profile compiled by the Durham Chamber of Commerce, Duke is the largest employer in Durham by a wide margin. Duke University and the Duke Health System employ over 34,000 people, with the runner-up, IBM, employing a relatively minor 10,000 people.

After IBM, no other organization in Durham employs more than 5,000 workers. This might lead some people to question the quality of the massive number of jobs Duke has created in Durham: is Duke really providing “good” jobs to Durhamites or is it just exploiting their cheap labor? Not only is Duke providing a lot of jobs, but it is also providing a lot of jobs that pay well. In fact, Duke announced that by 2019 it would guarantee a minimum wage of 15 dollars for all of its workers, nearly double the state minimum wage.

Not only does Duke provide thousands of good jobs, but the University also accounts for a massive share of of financial investment in Durham. In their 2016 economic development report, the Durham Chamber of Commerce estimated that Duke contributed nearly $279 million dollars of investment, 32 percent of all economic investment in Durham.

Even still, that number likely understates Duke’s economic contribution to Durham.

In addition to the investment they are directly accountable for, Duke also indirectly encourages some of the remaining 68 percent of investment in Durham. As the designers of RTP intended, the fact that Durham sports an elite, research university represents an enticing factor for anyone considering living, working or investing in Durham.

Duke’s positive involvement with Durham goes beyond economic growth. Each year Duke sponsors countless philanthropic and charitable endeavors for Durham’s betterment including numerous educational initiatives, food drives, health clinics and even an entire university department devoted solely to “Durham and Regional Affairs.” The most impressive thing about Duke’s charitable contributions to Durham is that Duke voluntarily pays $7-8 million dollars in property taxes every year.

If you are still not convinced that Duke has a vested interest in making Durham a better place then ask yourself this-- have you ever heard of anyone paying taxes voluntarily?

In the last 70 years, Durham has undergone a remarkable transformation. The city evolved from a sleepy tobacco town to being known today as the “City of Medicine.” A place that once produced deadly cigarettes proactively reinvented itself as a city focused on saving lives instead. A region previously known for poverty and economic stagnation has managed to generate sustainable economic growth in a relatively short span of time. Durham’s story is not a perfect one and the city continues to have significant issues with poverty and affordability for residents. But the fact that Durham continues to have problems does not mean that Duke is the source. Because Duke has made and continues to make positive contributions to Durham’s betterment, blaming Duke for Durham’s problems is both wrong and unproductive. I look at the contributions of my alma mater to the community surrounding it with tremendous pride. But I also see the situation as a work in progress. Let us continue to work.

INCIDENTS FROM PAGE 1 vandalism, a local graffiti artist approached Mi Gente and admitted to the action, telling the group that he was spray-painting a graffiti piece and later realized that he was defacing the mural.

There have also been a series of antiSemitic acts involving swastikas. In midOctober, a swastika was found carved into a bathroom stall in the Languages Building.

The day after Halloween, a pumpkin with a swastika carved into it and flyers reading “It’s okay to be white” were found on East Campus. On Nov. 19, a large red swastika was found painted over a mural honoring the victims of the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Brooks pointed out that three swastikas were recently found at Cornell University, the same number that have received attention at Duke this semester.

On Nov. 23, stickers with “Identity Evropa” written on them were found across campus. The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies Identity Evropa as a White Nationalist group.

Joyce Gordon, director for Jewish Life at Duke, spoke to the hopes of the Jewish community looking forward.

“We, our Duke Jewish community, will continue to move from strength to strength,” Gordon said. “This kind of anti-Semitic action is not representative of Duke, it is not representative of our values, and we are stronger than that, we are stronger than the person who drew the swastika.”

Brooks noted that the increase in acts of hate and bias on college campuses is part of an even larger national trend.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center has noticed a marked increase in the number of hate and bias incidents really since the 2016 presidential campaign,” Brooks said.

Brooks argued the trend is related to the President Donald Trump’s rhetoric. She also cited a notion of being released from a sense of political correctness as a factor leading to the emboldening of white supremacists.

She also commended Duke President Vincent Price for his statement in response to the most recent swastika found on campus.

“These acts need to be acknowledged and condemned every time,” she said. “When this first began to happen with the flyering, campus administrators would denounce the flyer and say this doesn’t comply with the values of our university—and that was that.

They need to be stronger, to say who these folks are, to say that this is anti-Semitism or white supremacy, or whatever it is, and we condemn it and we stand by all students at our university and we are going to do what we can to root this out.”

PROCESSES FROM PAGE 2 ‘He had to go’: How Aycock Hall was renamed Aycock Residence Hall was renamed to East House in 2014. The change was approved by the Board of Trustees after years of activism that culminated in a Duke Student Government resolution calling for the name to be removed.

The decision was announced to student leaders in an email from Brodhead.

“The push to move Aycock I think came from all sides. It was almost unilateral,” said Jacob Tobia, Trinity ‘14 and DSG’s vice president for equity and outreach at the time of the resolution. “People agreed that Aycock was a disgusting historical figure, and it was just a question of how it was going to get done.”

Tobia was one of the student leaders involved in the action around Aycock Hall, and the vice president was one of the students who brought the resolution to the Senate.

“The bottom line principle for me is that Duke’s history is complicated, and a lot of the people that helped to found the institution or were important to the people that did found the institution, lived in a world where it was acceptable to be racist and to do some pretty messed up things,” Tobia said.

The coalition supporting the change went beyond DSG, Tobia said. It included other campus leaders and groups, including the Black Student Alliance. Representatives from BSA and DSG met with administrators to make a formal proposal supporting the change.

Six months after DSG passed the resolution, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees agreed to it.

Beyond calling for Aycock’s name to be stripped from the residence hall, the DSG resolution suggested renaming it after Julian Abele, the black architect who designed much of West Campus. Brodhead said that the decision to not rename it for Abele was because he had not designed that building. In 2016, Duke renamed the main quadrangle on West Campus for Abele.

Instead, Duke changed the name of Aycock to East House, an echo of the building’s original name. Before Trinity College’s Board of Trustees renamed it to Aycock in 1912, the building had been named East Residence Hall for the one year it had been open.

“We’ve given this careful thought. One argument is that history is history, and we can’t change it by erasing,” Brodhead said in 2014.

“But I don’t regard this as an erasure.”

space on the Chapel where Robert E. Lee’s statue once stood.

The first step in the new process is filing a request to change either a building’s name or other “acts of memorialization”—something anyone in the Duke community can file.

In August, the history department filed a request that Carr’s name be removed from the Carr Building.

The proposal was then sent to Richard Riddell, senior vice president and secretary to the Board of Trustees, who reviewed the proposal with other administrative leaders.

Since he found the request “warrant[ed] the attention of the president,” the request then moved on to an ad-hoc committee chaired by Gráinne Fitzsimons, professor of management and organizations in the Fuqua School of Business.

The committee was asked to send a recommendation to Price’s desk about the building’s fate by Nov. 15. Price would then review the recommendation, make any changes and present it to the Board for a final decision. Like with the Aycock movement, students have pushed for the name to be changed for months.

The Duke People’s State of the University, which emerged this past spring after storming the stage at an alumni event, listed changing the Carr Building’s name as one of its demands. It never filed a request to change the name.

In September, Duke Student Government passed a resolution supporting renaming the Carr Building—as it did before the Aycock Building’s name was changed. This time, A more formal process for Carr Building nearly 150 history alumni also signed a letter Like the movement to rename the Aycock in favor of renaming the Carr Building.
