Hi! My name is [name], Class of [20xx]
Pick applicable:
- I am not giving to Duke’s senior gift fund
- I will not be giving to Duke
- I will be abstaining from buying Duke merchandise
because of
- Duke’s refusal to treat workers fairly and pay all workers a living wage,
- stalled and false negotiations with students that do not bring workers to the table,
- continued ultimatums and surveillance of protesting students
- Duke’s failure to hold high ranking administrators to the same standards of conduct as students and workers
- The racism that permeates the administration from EVP trasks behavior towards ms underwood to the daily micro aggressions within the pts department
If Duke
- negotiates fairly with both student occupiers and available workers,
- takes action against EVP Trask, PTS Director DePinto and VP Kavanaugh, and
- uses its robust fundraising capacity to create capital to provide a living wage of $15 for all available workers at Duke (<- please include)
- Allows me to allocate my annual giving towards a fund dedicated to providing a living wage of $15 to part-time and subcontracted workers
I will be much more likely to give to the Annual Fund or I will give to the Annual Fund.
Thank you, [name]
