Affirming difference in campus culture
A diverse, inclusive and engaged community that affirms difference:
That’s the environment necessary for the transformative educational
experience that Duke intends to provide, according to a report
from the Campus Culture Initiative Steering Committee.
The 24-member panel, which included faculty, administrators, undergraduate students, a graduate student and alumni, issued a report this year outlining a series of actions intended to “engage difference more deeply and directly.”
According to the report, “We are proud of the increased diversity that Duke has achieved. An academic community must, however, consistently and constructively engage difference in order to reap its full benefits.”
