[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.wral.com/news/local/duke-prepares-layoffs-employees-call-transparency/ My brother is a professor there and he said that morale is quite low at the moment.[/quote] I am an alum and a fan of President Price. I think he generally "gets" Duke. In contrast to Nan, who was president when I was there. I think he handled Covid well and he has handled protests well. But I don't know why he has not been more aggressive in standing up to Trump and I don't know why he seems to be over-reacting with these layoffs. Yes, there might be some financial challenges and yes, there probably are some jobs that can be trimmed, but this seems like a lot. Particularly given how much Duke wastes on fluff to maintain its image as a "cool" place.[/quote]
