Duke accepts What do administrators, students think record-low 8.3 about the new random roommate policy? percent of apps By Jake Satisky Staff Reporter
By Isabelle Doan University News Editor
Although Duke accepted a record low number of students for the Class of 2022, the University is not alone in its diminishing admission rates. Last month, Duke accepted just 6.4 percent of its regular decision applicants. This admittance rate beat out last year’s regular decision acceptance rate of 7.3 percent and the 8.7 percent for regular decision applicants to the Class of 2020. At the time, both were record lows for regular decision. However, peer schools have reported similar record-breaking admittance rates. Harvard University, Georgetown University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Brown University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Northwestern University, Stanford University and New York University all broke records with all-time-low admittance rates. For the Class of 2021, Duke and the University of Pennsylvania—which Duke fell one place behind in the most recent U.S. News and World Report annual college rankings—tied with 9.2 percent overall admittance rates. This year, Duke managed to just beat out Penn in terms of selectivity, with a 8.3 percent acceptance rate to Penn’s 8.4 percent. Duke’s 8.3 percent acceptance rate is also lower than schools such as Georgetown, Cornell See APPS on Page 5
Almost all the discussion about housing at Duke had centered around upperclassman housing—that is, until Feb. 27, when incoming first-years learned they will not be able to select their roommates on East Campus. A letter sent to the incoming class by Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, and Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, informed the Class of 2022 about the housing change. They cited research showing the benefits of the diverse interactions that might take place with random roommates. “We believe you’ll enjoy the opportunity to meet someone you’ve not previously known and will have a great opportunity to explore your roommate’s history, culture and interests,” Moneta and Nowicki wrote in the letter. In the following days and weeks, controversy ensued. There was praise— Duke Students for Housing Reform was “heartened” when they read the letter, telling students to keep an “open mind.” And there was criticism—Chronicle columnist Mitchell Siegel called the decision “more like a politically correct marketing technique to embrace multiculturalism,” and The Chronicle’s Editorial Board labeled it “a hastily-created quick-fix solution that is entirely internal
in its conception and approval.” Nowicki disagreed with much of the criticism leveled against the new policy. He said the decision was reached after thorough research and deliberation. Last October, the Board of Trustees told Moneta and other administration officials to research housing at Duke and develop reforms that would be beneficial but not too radical. From their research, two conclusions jumped out at them. First, 46 percent of first-years from the Class of 2021 selected their roommates, a number that they felt was too high, Moneta wrote in an email. For comparison, roughly onethird of incoming first-years at the University of Pennsylvania selected their roommate. Nowicki noted as well that students who select their roommates tend to come from more advantaged, higher-income backgrounds. Second, Nowicki pointed out that on the annual senior surveys, seniors who self-report interacting frequently with different types of people also report greater gains in critical thinking, communication skills and empathy. Additionally, alumni who said they interacted with those unlike themselves at Duke had higher salaries than those who did not. “Students who as undergraduates interact more with people unlike themselves…do better on a wide range of metrics,” he said. The decision to randomize all first-year roommates is not unprecedented. Incoming first-years at Stanford University, Princeton University and Harvard University are not allowed to select their roommate in advance. Despite the potential benefits, some
incoming Duke students are still displeased and anxious about having no control over who they will be living with next year. “I’m not a huge fan of things that are outside of my control, so I thought finding someone I knew from the first day of school would be a good way to get into the swing of things,” said Lindsay Morgenstein, an Early Decision student who was admitted to the Class of 2022. However, she said she is still optimistic and looks forward to meeting people she “wouldn’t have otherwise met.” Raj Mehta, another student admitted Early Decision, was a bit more frustrated. Although he is not opposed to going random, he said students should have the opportunity to pick their roommate. He also did not appreciate “that they had brought this up out of the blue and didn’t give [students accepted through Early Decision] any forewarning,” though he still would have applied to Duke regardless. Moneta wrote that he has received much more praise than complaints for the decision. Meanwhile, Nowicki recognized the validity of these complaints, but he did not think making the decision after Early Decision results came out was a big deal. He added that concerns would likely disperse over time. “Some of [the incoming first-year students] are complaining about this. Next year, I expect that fewer will because they didn’t know it ever was a possibility,” Nowicki said. “And then a couple of years from now, people will just say, hey, that’s what you do at Duke.” See POLICY on Page 5

Duke Hospital completes its first HIV-positive liver transplant By Nathan Luzum Health and Science News Editor
For years, HIV-positive individuals were prohibited from donating their organs after death. However, due to recent changes in federal and state law, Duke recently performed its first HIV-positive organ transplant. In December 2017, Tennessee native Stanley Boling— who is HIV positive—underwent transplant surgery at Duke Hospital to receive a liver from an HIV-positive donor. Boling, who is recovering well after the operation, benefited from the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act passed by the federal government in 2013 and subsequent changes to North Carolina state law. “When Stan came to meet us at that time, we recognized that he had HIV that had been very well controlled for many decades,” said Carl Berg, a transplant hepatologist at Duke Hospital who is Boling’s current primary physician. “Actually, it turns out he’s a nurse by training and he’s very knowledgeable about his health care and seemed like a good candidate for transplantation from a medical perspective.” As one of 22 centers in the United States authorized to perform transplantations of organs from HIV-positive donors, Duke Hospital was able to provide Boling with a better chance of receiving a transplant when he needed one. By having his name on the list for both HIV-positive and HIV-negative organs, Boling had access to a larger pool of organ donors than an HIV-negative patient would. The first transplant Boling was initially infected with Hepatitis B, a liver disease, in the 1980s. And he lived with the disease for decades with little hindrance in his everyday life until the fall of 2016, Berg said. That was when Boling developed a condition known as pulmonary hypertension, a type of high blood pressure affecting arteries in the lungs that can lead to shortness of breath. Berg explained that a pulmonologist in Tennessee realized that the ultimate culprit behind Boling’s lung-related problems was his liver and referred him to Duke in the summer of 2017.
There was just one issue doctors had to contend with— Boling had HIV, which he was diagnosed with in the 1990s, Berg noted. Although having HIV can be a problem when looking to obtain an organ transplant, it was not a major hindrance in Boling’s case. “We have known for a number of years how to successfully transplant individuals with HIV that’s well controlled, so his having HIV was not a concern to us,” Berg said. “We worked with our colleagues in infectious diseases to make sure he had well-controlled HIV disease, and he did.” Berg explained that when evaluating Boling for a transplant, doctors first examined general factors that determine whether any patient would be eligible receive a transplant, regardless of HIV presence. Did Boling have an understanding of the “complicated
Special to the Chronicle In December 2017, Duke Hospital surgeons performed livertransplant surgery on Stanley Boling.
medical regimens” that come alongside surgeries? Would he be compliant with doctors’ orders, and were his other organs healthy and unlikely to be damaged during surgery? To all of these questions, Boling’s team answered “yes,” but they were nevertheless concerned about his nutrition. “He lost a lot of weight from his disease, so we worked actually quite diligently with him last fall to work on nutritional supplements and increase his protein intake to strengthen him up,” Berg said. After clearing Boling on the HIV-nonspecific criteria for a transplant, Berg turned to Cameron Wolfe, an associate professor of medicine. Wolfe—who works with HIV as an infectious disease specialist and is also a subspecialist in transplant infectious disease—evaluated Boling’s medical history of HIV and cleared him for a transplant. With this approval, Boling’s name was added to the regular liver transplant list. However, that fall, Duke received the authorization to participate in the HOPE Act program, which would enable HIV-positive patients to receive organs from HIV-positive donors, Berg explained. Boling was then added to the second list, where he would eventually find a match for a new liver later in the fall. As soon as the news of an available liver arrived, Wolfe and other infectious disease specialists had to work quickly to evaluate the donor’s history of HIV and whether it would be compatible with Boling’s. “There’s sort of an unquantified risk that a donor may bring other things with them, so some people’s history of HIV is very complicated, and they’ve had lots of infections or malignancy,” Wolfe said. “You want to be particularly careful when you choose a donor that you’re choosing someone who doesn’t bring other infections or cancers with them.” Berg added that the team verified that there were no apparent risks between donor and recipient, and they concocted a regimen of medications that would control the HIV after transplantation. Aside from the extensive precaution that doctors typically take before transplant surgeries, Berg noted that there was relatively no difference between Boling’s operation and that of See TRANSPLANT on Page 5

Grayson Allen’s career ends in heartbreak after roll off the rim By Sameer Pandhare Staff Reporter
OMAHA, Neb.—As Grayson Allen worked for a final shot against Malik Newman in the closing seconds of regulation, Duke’s captain had a chance for another signature moment— one that would almost certainly play in videos before the beginning of any game in Cameron Indoor Stadium for years to come. Once the ball left the senior’s hands, the CenturyLink Center fell nearly silent after reaching a fever pitch just seconds earlier in one of the most memorable NCAA tournament games in recent history. Allen’s floater banked off the glass and hit every part of the rim before spinning off the mark and robbing the guard of another careerdefining moment. A few minutes later, Allen’s college career was complete, as the Blue Devils fell to Kansas 85-81 in the Elite Eight. “That thing rolled around the rim about four times. I thought it was going in. It’s not a good feeling,” Allen said. “It’s like a shock to your body. You don’t plan for a loss. You just expect to keep going and going. It’s so abrupt when it hits you. It’s just boom, and it’s over.” In many ways, the ups and downs that Duke fans felt as Allen’s shot rolled and rolled around the rim do justice to the kind of career the Jacksonville, Fla., native had as a Blue Devil. After rescuing the Blue Devils in the 2015 national title game against Wisconsin, Allen transformed into one of Duke’s leading scorers as a sophomore. But with increased scrutiny in the light of his tripping incidents, Allen’s career was painted in a less than favorable light outside of the friendly confines in Durham. Injury-plagued shooting struggles during his junior season did not move the needle much for Allen. As a senior, he regained his captaincy and improved his percentages from the field, but still struggled with consistency. All of which made this weekend in Omaha the chance for Allen to mold his reputation one more time and cement his
place in Blue Devil lore with another trip to the Final Four. Instead, the senior was largely ineffective, shooting just 7-of-28 in the two games combined and missing 18 of his 23 attempts from beyond the arc. Time and time again, Duke had looks it would certainly live with, but simply could not sink enough to pull ahead of the guard-heavy Jayhawks. “I still shoot the same shots and expect them to go in,” Allen said. “A lot of them hit the rim twice, bounced around. But, I mean, I’m still going to take the open shots. That’s our offense. That’s a Duke shot when I take an open three.” As easy as it is to look at the box score and pin blame on Allen’s shoulders, Sunday’s performance by the Blue Devils was a testament to some of the strides Allen has made with his teammates off the floor. Consider that a team playing four freshman starters stood pound-for-pound with a blueblood starting all

upperclassmen without batting an eye for nearly 40 minutes. In many ways, Allen’s biggest value to the team was shepherding his younger teammates into the right spots and putting them in position to shine. “I came in kind of late in the beginning of the year and I wasn’t here in the summer. When I got here, Grayson was the one kind of talking to me about how things go around, how the workouts are and just telling me his experiences,” freshman Marvin Bagley III said. “It hurts that we couldn’t get it done for him.” When asked before the year at ACC media day about what would constitute success for the season, Allen had a singular goal in mind—getting the team to play together. Although it took a lot longer than many expected as Duke battled through an inconsistent ACC campaign, the Blue Devils certainly grew as a group and reached the level of togetherness typically seen with Duke’s best teams. “He did a great job of interacting with this young group and helped them grow,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I especially thought the relationship that he has with Marvin was the key for us getting as good as we were. You’re a shot away, a roll away, from being in the Final Four, and so much of it has to do with their relationship and his leadership.” Despite the team reaching Allen’s goal of playing together, the Blue Devils hold themselves to a championship standard, and there will be no Final Four banner coming to Durham. Allen’s most memorable moments will be his first ones for many, with the scrappy guard diving for a loose ball against Wisconsin. His career will always include a national championship. But there’s not always a happy end to the story. For the time being, though, the senior is left reflecting on a career that felt like it lasted an eternity until it was slammed shut in a matter of minutes. “It’s a lot of joy and happiness when I look back,” Allen said. “From an outside perspective, it might look like I went through hell for a bit and it kind of felt like it there in the middle. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

TRANSPLANT FROM PAGE 3 a typical liver transplant. “At the end of the day, we already have a fair [amount of] experience with having recipients who are HIV positive,” Wolfe said. ‘Not a walk in the park’: Changing the laws governing HIV-positive organ donation An amendment to the National Organ Transplant Act in 1988 prohibited HIV-positive individuals from donating their organs. The driving force behind the bill, Berg explained, was researchers’ and doctors’ inability to adequately treat patients who had HIV. “There was great fear that HIV-positive organs might get into the transplant pool and inadvertently infect someone that didn’t have HIV,” he said. “That, of course, back in those days, would have been a death sentence because we couldn’t control HIV in the mid-1980s.” Berg noted that years later, successful kidney transplants from HIV-positive donors in South Africa and Europe prompted the medical community to reconsider their position.
POLICY FROM PAGE 2 However, Nowicki acknowledged that some students believe the policy does not adequately solve the Duke’s diversity and community problems with housing. He said he doubts that it will drastically change Duke’s social culture but explained that it is still a step in the right direction. Much of Duke’s housing issues, he explained, come from housing stock that is not suited for community-building. He was heartened by Duke’s recent commitment to
Wolfe explained that as a result of lobbying from medical organizations, President Obama changed the federal law surrounding HIV-positive donors when he signed the HOPE Act in 2013. However, the restriction was lifted for only hospitals that “have already shown and demonstrated that they’ve got really good experience using HIV recipients,” Wolfe said. Currently, 22 hospitals—including Duke Hospital—have applied for a waiver and currently participate in the HOPE program, according to its website. “Not any hospital can decide they’re just going to do this—you actually have to demonstrate expertise, and you have to have IRB-approved research protocol for follow-up of the patients, you have to report your data into a national database,” Berg said. Since the HOPE Act was passed, 23 kidney transplants and 11 liver transplants had been performed at accredited hospitals as of November 2017, according to the HHS website. However, the battle wasn’t over after the federal law was changed—there were still many state laws on the books prohibiting HIV-positive organ donation, Wolfe explained.
building and renovating dormitories that are designed to accommodate communities. Ultimately, no one knows how impactful or effective this piece of housing reform will be for Duke students. Nowicki said to just give it time—most major housing reforms take at least four to five years before their effects come to fruition. Moneta pointed out the parallels between this roommate policy and another first-year housing change—the conversion of East Campus to a first-year campus. “Students objected to that decision,” he wrote, “And yet, it is almost universally regarded as one of Duke’s best attributes.”

He and other professionals visited Raleigh to present their medical opinion on the issue and to ensure that the law was amended. “As you can imagine, asking the state government to change state law is not a walk in the park,” he said. “Asking the federal government to sign a law was a multi-year effort that eventually resulted in President Obama changing that law.” A more inclusive future Despite the federal law’s passage in 2013, the first HIV-positive donor transplant at Duke Hospital was not until Boling’s operation in December 2017. Wolfe explained that the reason behind the delay was largely due to precautions and making sure that the system was implemented effectively. The National Institutes of Health had to come up with the scientific guidelines describing how to evaluate donors and recipients for the program, and the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network was charged with developing the logistics of the system to ensure that an HIV-negative patient would not accidentally receive an organ from an HIV-positive donor.
APPS FROM PAGE 2 and Dartmouth. However, it is still higher than Harvard’s 4.6 percent, Stanford’s 4.3 percent or Brown’s 7.2 percent acceptance rates. These universities also received a record high number of applications. Duke received 37,302 submissions—an eight percent increase from the previous year. Several colleges faced similar growths—Harvard matched Duke’s growth with 42,742 applicants for its incoming first-year class. Yale saw a seven percent increase with 35,305 applicants, and Northwestern had 40,418 applicants,
Boling was also not the first person to sign up for the HIV-positive donor list at Duke Hospital, Wolfe added. “We’ve had people who have been on our [HIV-positive donor] waiting list since early last year,” he said. “It just so happened that a number of those people were fortunate enough to receive organ transplants that just happened to come up with HIV-negative [donors].” Berg and Wolfe agreed that Duke Hospital was likely to see an increase in the number of recipients signing up for and receiving organs from HIV-positive donors. In fact, Berg mentioned that an HIV-positive patient was referred to him just last week after the referring physician had seen the press release detailing Boling’s successful operation. They added that the change of laws will also benefit individuals with HIV who want to become organ donors but were previously barred from doing so. “I suspect that there are HIV-positive individuals that felt excluded by the legislation previously that precluded them from being organ donors,” Berg said. “I think it’s important to get the word out now to people with HIV that that’s no longer true—if they want to be an organ donor, they should sign up.” up 8.5 percent from the previous year. In a previous interview with The Chronicle, Stephen Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate education, noted that students are taking advantage of the Common Application to apply to as many schools as they can. This practice, he said, creates an unfortunate positive feedback loop where the number of applications rise at top schools and acceptance rates subsequently drop, causing anxious students to apply to more schools. “I still think I would have been admitted to Duke,” sophomore August Ning said. “I couldn’t see myself anywhere else. I feel like I’m able to add to the quality of Duke, like all the students here.”

Innovation Studio Tour 1 Room 120, 2 Telecom Drive, West Campus So you have an idea? How will you make it? The way in which physical products are developed and manufactured is changing at an exponential rate.
