Duke’s harassment policy presents itself as neutral but in practice insulates certain ideological positions from debate, discouraging dissent not through overt censorship but through ambiguity and potentially elective enforcement.
At a time of uncertainty and federal change, we must be clear: The Chronicle condemns all attacks on student press freedom and all violations of the First Amendment.

University external funding, when probed, complicates the push for institutional neutrality.
Duke faculties urge the administration to adopt a policy of institutional neutrality.

I wish I had ended my editorship differently, but I could not. The fact that I fell out of love with it was nobody’s fault but mine. I did not write a farewell column, not because I didn’t want to, but because I couldn’t muster up the energy to fake loving The Chronicle.
Duke should allow outside press to cover authorized protests. This is not only the right thing to do. This communicates our values at a crucial moment in our history.
The traditional playbook of encouraging speech for the sake of speech, as fast and as much as possible, may no longer be good enough.
With my height now sharpied on the door frame of the editor’s office and a note scribbled on the wall for the future editors to come, I — with bags under my eyes — look back on the past year proud of all we have accomplished and ready to pass on this paper to the next 120 lucky editors-in-chief to come.
Journalism isn’t fulfilling its purpose when our audience doesn’t trust us; why bother writing if no one’s going to read it? It’s clear the industry needs to change.
As I’m getting ready to graduate, I’m thinking about art and why we talk about it.
This job has taken me to many places. Literally — from Durham to Clemson to New York and beyond — but more than that, it’s taken me into moments of raw, fleeting emotion that I never would’ve witnessed otherwise.
What I am most proud of this volume is how many brilliant minds contributed to our coverage. It is fully a team effort.
This year, every time I walked into 301 Flowers and inevitably found our reporters, columnists and photographers chiseling away at their Pacemaker-award winning masterpieces, the norm did not apply. Every day challenged me and each person inspired me. The Chronicle made Duke exactly what I had hoped for.
At the ripe age of 26, however, I realize there’s a lot I haven’t learned since getting to Duke’s campus in 2016.
Hear from Volume 120's leadership and graduating Chronicle staff about their reflections on their time at the paper and Duke.
When I arrived at Duke, I knew I would get involved in sports. I could never have predicted the opportunities and community that this paper would give me.
