Hottest summ Staff Reports The Chronicle Although most students are not on campus during the summer months, life at the University still continues. This summer, some of the most interesting and controversial events took place while the students were away. The Chronicle takes a look at some of the most noteworthy summer headlines as the 2017-18 academic year quickly approaches. Robert E. Lee statue is removed In mid-August, President Vincent Price ordered the removal of the controversial Robert E. Lee statue. The Confederate general’s figure stood at the Chapel’s entrance, but who exactly ordered Lee’s statue to be placed in the Chapel is somewhat of a mystery. Earlier in the week, Durham protesters
toppled a confederate statue near East Campus. Then, the Lee statue was vandalized overnight, which Price and Luke Powery, dean of the Chapel, condemned. Several hundred alumni signed a petition advocating for the removal of the statue and pledging to withhold their donations until it is removed. Finally, over the weekend, the statue was removed. “After hearing from and consulting with a number of students, faculty, staff and alumni, and with the strong support of the Board of Trustees, I authorized the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee from the entrance of Duke Chapel early this morning,” Price said. “I took this course of action to protect Duke Chapel, to ensure the vital safety of students and community members who worship there, and above all to express the deep and abiding values of our university.” The University also announced that it
had been selected to host one of ten centers focused on racial healing and transformation nationwide. Duke Forward ends, raises $3.85 billion The Duke Forward campaign, which ended July 30, raised $3.85 billion from more than 315,000 donors over the past seven years. The campaign reached its goal of $3.25 billion last July, ahead of schedule. Duke Forward set aside different fundraising goals for each of Duke’s 10 schools, athletics, the libraries and “University-wide priorities.” “This is an incredible accomplishment to inherit, and I am grateful to my predecessors, to our development staff and most importantly to our donors, whose tremendous investment makes it possible for Duke students and faculty to innovate, engage and improve our world,” Price told Duke Today. Some accomplishments for the campaign’s funds included raising approximately $473 million for financial aid, creating 85 endowed faculty chairs and professorships, building the Richard H. Brodhead Center for Campus Life and establishing Bass Connections.
the complaint and to prevent any further criminal investigation. In August, Duke University, the Women’s Center employee and her partner filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. The new motions argue that the graduate student’s original complaint fails to state any “credible claim” against the defendants, and that the complaint lacks specific details about how the defendants allegedly entered into an agreement to interfere with the sexual assault investigation.
Adjunct faculty ratify agreement with University In August, Duke Faculty Union members ratified a collective bargaining agreement with the University. Last March, non-regular rank faculty voted to form a union. After months of meetings with administration, the union reached a tentative agreement for a three-year contract in June. According to an email from the union, the now-ratified agreement includes pay increases, longer contracts and access to teaching and institutional resources. “Our long-term project remains focused Graduate student sues University for on achieving equity with Duke’s tenure-track allegedly mishandling rape allegations faculty,” the email stated. “Our newly ratified Over the summer, a graduate student filed a collective bargaining agreement is significant lawsuit against Duke for allegedly mishandling progress towards this goal of equity, and we a rape allegation she reported against the live- look forward with pride and excitement as in partner of a Women’s Center employee. our commitments and stake in teaching and The Women’s Center employee and the research as faculty at Duke University is, at live-in partner are also defendants in the suit, long last, being acknowledged for the value which was originally filed in May.

several new faces have filed for candidacy in Durham’s mayoral race. Of the seven contenders for the mayorship, one candidate in particular has strong ties with Duke. Candidate Steve Schewel received both his B.A. in 1973 and Ph.D. in 1982 from Duke, and is currently a visiting professor at the University. He’s served on Durham City Council since 2011. Another candidate, Farad Ali, is also emphasizing the diversity of the community. Also similar to Schewel, Ali has ties to Duke, as he currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Duke University Health System.

Marvin Bagley III reclassifies and commits to Duke men’s basketball Thought of as a generational talent by most recruiting analysts, Marvin Bagley III shook up the college basketball landscape by reclassifying from the Class of 2018 to 2017 and announcing his commitment to Duke August 14, just two weeks before the start of class. Bagley immediately became the top recruit in the 2017 class and gave the Blue Devils the No. 1 recruiting class, and Duke became early national title favorites after his decision. The 6-foot-11 power forward averaged more than 20 points and 10 rebounds as a junior at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles and has range out to the 3-point line. “Marvin is a special basketball talent and a tremendous young man,” Krzyzewski said in a press release announcing the signing. “He is completely dedicated to his improvement as both a player and student Chronicle File Photo and, given his family’s deep history in this For the second time in as many days, Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils have picked up a area, he is fully aware of what it means to be top recruit—this time for the Class of 2017.

Students, staff give advice to first-years for O-Week Isabelle Doan The Chronicle Welcome to Duke University, firstyears. You have spent the summer waiting, reviewing your Blue Book, signing up for classes and posting on the Duke 2021 Facebook page. During your Orientation Week, you may find yourself lost or otherwise confused. Luckily, Jordan Hale, director of new student programs, and seniors Whitney Hazard and Kyle Miller, First-Year Advisory Council co-chairs, chimed in to let you know what to expect during O-Week. Your experience will begin with what Hazard and Miller consider their favorite part of Orientation Week, move-in day. Hazard and Miller said they enjoy welcoming new Blue Devils to their home

on East, so that first-years can feel like they belong as soon as they arrive. “Duke has such a unique move-in day experience, and the way the FACs help everyone move in is representative of the support they can find at Duke,” Hazard and Miller wrote in an email. Next year when you move in, FACs will be nowhere in sight, so enjoy it while it lasts. On move-in day, you’ll pick up a firstyear planner, which Hazard and Miller highly recommend you use. The planner has information about Orientation Week, the First Big Week and other big events throughout the school year. Throughout the week, you’ll attend some unique events. New from last year are sessions focusing on creating a community to reduce gender violence on campus, Hale wrote in an email. These sessions include a floor meeting with Resident Assistants and a new session with the community safety team within Duke Police. Additionally, you’ll listen to the summer reading author, Richard Blanco, at the Durham Convention Center. However, Hale’s recommendations for must-attend events have been established in previous Orientation Weeks. “All the above events are can’t miss, but I would also add the Brodie Gym Blowout on Wednesday evening, the Class photo Wednesday afternoon and the Night at the Nasher Saturday evening,” Hale wrote. Although these events sound exciting, many first-years find themselves worried. Hazard and Miller noted that there are a variety of concerns across the firstyear student body. They wrote that they often see first-years worried about

handling academic life at Duke, finding extracurricular activities to join or navigating living away from home for the first time. However, the most common worry affects first-years of all kinds. “Some people come to Duke excited for college, and ready to go. Others are much more hesitant and nervous about this big change,” Hazard and Miller wrote. “Across the group, the most common worry we see is the desire to find a community at Duke.” If you find yourself worried, Hazard and Miller recommend using some of Duke’s many resources for students. Firstyears can seek advice from their FACs, RAs, their Faculty-in-Residence, advisors, professors and their peers, Hazard and Miller noted.
As all good things come to an end, your Orientation Week will, too. Former Duke basketball player Grant Hill will be concluding Orientation Week by addressing the Class of 2021 in a discussion on values and ethics, Hale wrote. Even after it ends, the things you will learn from Orientation Week are designed to stay with you for their rest of your time at Duke. “We encourage first years to be themselves and remember the positive values they are bringing from home. What makes Duke special is we attract students from all across the globe with different experiences, backgrounds, identities, ideas and perspectives,” Hale wrote. “Be ready to encounter all of that during Orientation Week as we prepare to ensure you have a great Duke experience.”

Who’s who: 15 people Kenrick Cai The Chronicle With thousands of people responsible for shaping the Duke experience, it can be easy to lose track of all the moving parts. Whereas Mike Krzyzewski is a household name, many others play an integral role in making Duke what it is. The Chronicle compiled a list of key individuals to keep an eye on for the 2017-18 academic year, including administrators, professors, athletic figures and student leaders. Administrators: Vincent Price For the first time in 13 years, returning students will come back to campus with a new president in office. The
previous provost of the University of Pennsylvania took over for former president Richard Brodhead on July 1. Price—who spoke with The Chronicle in December about how he would address issues such as bias, hate and racism—faced his first major challenge as president recently over the Robert E. Lee statue in Duke Chapel, which he ordered to be removed Saturday. Jack Bovender Brodhead wasn’t the only big name to depart Duke over the summer, as the Board of Trustees also bid farewell to its chair, David Rubenstein. Bovender, Trinity ’67 and Graduate School ’69, took a step up from vice chair to become Rubenstein’s replacement in July. In an interview with The Chronicle last month, Bovender discussed his vision as board chair, including his plan to make “big investments” in
science and STEM. Valerie Ashby As dean of the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, Ashby has been the main driving force behind the attempted implementation of a new undergraduate curriculum. After rising tensions—headlined by a slew of faculty saying they would vote against the proposed curriculum in accordance to their department’s wishes—Ashby postponed the vote until the Fall semester to allow for increased faculty input. Stephan Bryan Bryan is the associate dean of students and director of the Office of Student Conduct. Beginning in April, The Chronicle published a five-part series examining students’ experiences and complaints about the student conduct process. Students, as well as a lawyer, criticized the process for being unfair and shoddy, although Bryan, who oversees student conduct at Duke, largely declined to comment on the stories. Mary Klotman Just as the University will begin the academic year with a new leader, so will the School of Medicine. Mary Klotman replaced Nancy Andrews as dean of the School of Medicine and vice chancellor for health affairs in July after spending seven years as chair of the department of medicine at Duke. In the announcement, Klotman said that she would focus on collaboration within Duke Health and with colleagues throughout the entire University. Faculty:

Robert Califf Califf, Trinity ‘73 and School of Medicine ‘78, added to his already impressive resumé with an announcement in May that he would split time between Duke, where he was appointed vice chancellor for health data science at Duke Health, and Silicon Valley, where he will become a senior member of Verily Life Sciences. The Donald F. Fortin, M.D. professor of cardiology in the School of Medicine previously served as commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under the Obama administration. Erin Potts-Kant A former clinical research coordinator, Potts-Kant is at the center of a $600 million lawsuit against the University over falsified research. Potts-Kant was arrested in March 2013 for embezzling money from Duke. In April, a federal judge rejected Duke’s request to dismiss the lawsuit. In June, the University admitted that the fraudulent research may have affected grant applications, while Potts-Kant admitted that she altered experiment data. Steve Schewel Schewel, Trinity ’73 and Ph.D. ’82, is a name to keep an eye out for as election day gets closer. The visiting assistant professor in the Sanford School of Public Policy, who is currently a member of the Durham City Council, is a candidate to become mayor of Durham. He said his top priorities would be to increase affordable housing, support the Durham-Orange light rail project and provide access to city spaces in Spanish.
