President Brodhead Helps with Randolph Move-In, 2005
When Trinity College moved to Durham from Randolph County in 1892, seeking connection to an urban environment, it landed in what is now known as Duke’s East Campus. After Trinity College became Duke University, East Campus was redesigned by the Horace Trumbauer architectural firm, gaining its signature Georgian-style red brick buildings. In 1930, East Campus became the Woman’s College under Dean Alice M. Baldwin, training women in academic and societal leadership before merging with Duke’s Trinity College of Arts and Sciences in 1972. East Campus began housing first-year undergraduates in 1995, and that tradition continues today. East Campus is also home to multiple academic departments, including Music, History, and Cultural Anthropology. -
The Chanticleer (2006) Lacrosse
This spread from the 2006 Duke yearbook, The Chanticleer, showcases the outrage and confusion experienced by the student body when members of the men’s lacrosse team were accused of sexual assault. The team's record of problematic behavior, the racial dynamics between the almost all-white team and the Black female accuser, and statements by then-District Attorney Mike Nifong led many community members to assume the players were guilty. Nifong later admitted to withholding evidence that proved the three accused teammates' innocence. All charges were eventually dropped and Nifong was disbarred. The scandal is remembered as one of the darkest moments in Duke history, sparking deep reflection about the roles that racism, misogyny, and privilege played in Durham, at Duke, and in sports. -

Group label: DDA photos and headline
Responding to a 1996 complaint to the Justice Department, Duke became the first college or university to reach an agreement with the Justice Department to address widespread accessibility for people with disabilities in 2000. The Chronicle noted accessibility efforts such as widening doorways and providing accessible seating in venues. Although renovations were made following the suit, some facilities remain inaccessible, including dorms and academic buildings. The 2021 opening of the Disability Community Space in the Bryan Center was a further step towards recognition of the disability community. The Duke Disability Alliance continues to advocate for changes such as accessible infrastructure, the addition of a Disability Studies minor, and recognition of American Sign Language as an option for the Trinity College language course requirement. -
