Duke University to Study How It Deals With Bias and Hate on Campus
December 8, 2015

Richard H. Brodhead, president of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, has announced the formation of a Task Force on Bias and Hate Issues. The task force will be charged with a broad review of Duke’s policies, practices and culture as they pertain to bias and hate in the Duke student experience. Specifically, the task force will:

Consider whether Duke’s institutional policies should have specific mention of bias and hate;

Consider issues related to communications of incidents of intolerance; and

Make recommendations for achieving greater transparency in the handling of issues of intolerance.



The task force will make its first report to the president by April 2016.

In his message to the Duke community, President Brodhead wrote, “While administrative actions cannot solve all the problems we face, I believe that this task force will be a positive step in creating a productive dialogue about the ways we can change Duke for the better.”

Brodhead is going to host a national conference, Quasi! Surely he will! 2006 all over again.


The Duke case, he said, revealed a larger societal problem: "How to create and maintain the optimal balance between the independence of the legal system and protection of individuals from false prosecutions."

Brodhead announced that Duke administrators will review its procedures on how to react "when students are tied to serious criminal charges." The university will also host a national conference for educators to discuss best practices for such instances.
