Opinion: "These Zionist groups may try to build a home on campus, but they will always be alien to the institution of justice whose visceral reality is the home a free people will never abandon," writes Duke SJP.

Mobilizing Asian Students Together was created in order to support demands drafted by Asian student groups in March.

"I think the big goal of MAST is to get these demands in a place where we don’t have to keep articulating the same thing over and over." https://t.co/kw11ZMsI1h

MAST held a teach-in on Friday to advocate for an Ethnic Studies department and cultural spaces.

“Duke fails time and time again to ensure its students of color and minority students are institutionally included in all academic and social settings." https://t.co/Y9BDebU1d1
