Magner, Denise K. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1994
When Duke University (North Carolina) adopted a five-year plan in 1988 to double the proportion of black faculty, it lost almost as many as it gained. The new 10-year plan will focus on support and retention as well as hiring. The new plan has critics but more support than the last. (MSE)

Magner, Denise K. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1993
Duke University's affirmative action plan for faculty, unveiled in the late 1980s, has had limited success. Critics blame this on a small pool of minority doctorates and in-house resistance. Success has been greatest in the history department. The school has been more successful in attracting African-American graduate students. (MSE)
