The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life announced via email to its members that Gamma Phi Beta was chosen Duke’s 10th Panhellenic sorority. The Panhellenic AsGamma Phi Beta sociation voted in Spring 2012 to expand in response to an increase in recruitment numbers over the past five years. Three sororities—Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa and Phi Mu—gave presentations on campus in late March, and Panhel members voted to decide which group should receive an invitation. Gamma Phi Beta will officially join Duke’s Panhellenic community in Spring 2014. The philanthropic focus of Gamma Phi Beta is “Building Strong Girls.” The sorority is partners with Girls on the Run, Camp Fire and Girl Guides of Canada. All three SEE PANHEL ON PAGE 7

Dawkins to return to the court

Andre Dawkins will return to the Duke men’s basketball team after redshirting for a year due to personal reasons.
‘Dre all day begins again in October. Andre Dawkins announced on Twitter that he will return for his senior season after redshirting this season due to personal reasons. He thanked Duke’s fans for their ongoing support and cited his personal growth throughout the season, adding that next season, “you will see a different Andre Dawkins.” Dawkins also announced he will wear No. 34 instead of No. 20, which he wore for his first three seasons with the Blue Devils. His No. 34 was previously worn by Ryan Kelly, who capped off his collegiate career last month. As a junior, Dawkins played 22.4 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points and 2.0 3-pointers per contest. Dawkins was a member of the 2010 national champion-
ship team as a freshman, when he notably knocked down two crucial 3-pointers in the Blue Devils’ Elite Eight victory against Baylor. Dawkins’ addition to the lineup will give Duke a bevy of talent in the backcourt next season, but could also make playing time more difficult to distribute. The Blue Devils will need to split minutes in the backcourt amongst Dawkins, Quinn Cook, Tyler Thornton and incoming freshman Matt Jones, who like Dawkins is known as a sharpshooter. Dawkins’ size also allows him to play on the wing, which could mean more time for his backcourt mates but less for forwards like Alex Murphy. Dawkins has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining. He will graduate in May and play as a graduate student next year. —from staff reports
Duke does not release reports of studentperpetrated sexual violence, even though legislation does not prohibit the University from doing so. Two education privacy and safety laws— the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Jeanne Clery Act—allow private uninews versities to disclose disciplinary proceedings and analysis crime reports when a student is an alleged perpetrator of violating university policy, though disclosure is not required. Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said that in instances of violent crimes or both forcible and non-forcible sex offenses, as defined by the law, Duke historically has not released the name of the student perpetrator. He noted that this has been the case as long as he has been at Duke, and he does not know the reasoning behind this practice. “Duke does not, as a practice, disclose the results to individuals other than the complainant and the accused,” Moneta wrote in an email Wednesday. It is the universities’ prerogative to disclose information about cases, and few take advantage of that opportunity, noted Adam Goldstein, attorney advocate for the Student Press Law Center in Virginia. Most private universities choose not to release the names of sexual assault perpetrators, often to avoid bad publicity, he added. “No one wants to admit that rape happens there,” he said. “Why would they underreport? Because everyone else is underreporting. It’s just one less thing to worry about.” Goldstein said universities may also choose not release the names as an attempt to protect the victims of assault from recognition. So many schools do not follow this practice that it has become common for a university to go unnoticed when they make the choice not to disclose, he said. The Clery Act states that an institution must make timely reports to the campus SEE DISCLOSE ON PAGE 6
