Ernestine Friedl, the first female dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, died Monday, the University announced in a press release. Friedl was 95 and passed away at The Cedars, a retirement community in Chapel Hill. A renowned anthropologist and James B. Duke Professor Emerita, Friedl came to Duke in 1973 to become chair of the cultural anthropology department, a position she held until 1978. She served as dean of Trinity from 1980 until 1985, pushing forward initiatives to increase diversity and overseeing the establishment of the Women’s Studies program. In 2008, the building that formerly housed East Campus’s art museum was renovated to house humanities and social science programs and was renamed after Friedl. The See FRIEDL on Page 4
Clery Act criteria subjective for each case, experts say Lucy Zhang The Chronicle The University’s decision not to alert students and staff after a hospital employee was attacked Sept. 20 has raised questions about Duke’s criteria for notifying campus personnel of criminal activity under the Clery Act. Duke’s responsibility in reporting crime is outlined by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, or Clery Act, a federal statute that requires all U.S. colleges to report certain statistics and criminal activity to students and employees. The legislation is named after
Jeanne Clery, a student at Lehigh University who was raped and murdered in 1986 by another Lehigh student. Clery’s parents argued that her death could have been avoided with more public crime reports. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations, previously said that the hospital incident did not meet the Clery Act’s criteria. The Clery Act states that colleges must “immediately notify the campus community upon the confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or staff occurring on the campus... unless issuing a notification will compromise efforts to contain the emergency.”
The Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting published by the U.S. Department of Education explains how colleges should classify Clery Act crimes and what types of incidents warrant notification—including cases of sexual assault and aggravated assault. The alert notification itself depends on who reports the crime along with several other factors such as the geographic region and definition of a college’s campus. Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security On Campus, noted the need to protect members of the campus community without risking identifying the victim through notifications. She added that See CLERY ACT on Page 4
