Dear Duke Alumni,

Multicultural Advancement (MCA) wants to ensure you are aware of a significant and deeply troubling nationwide issue impacting African American university students. Since Wednesday, students have been targeted with a series of racist spam texts.

We want to share how Duke administrators are responding to mitigate this problem. Please find the Student Affairs Leadership’s official response and the steps that are being taken to address this issue here.

If you have any concerns or wish to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us. Monique Harris and I are available and committed to serving as your campus resources.

Sincerely,

Tiffany and Monique
