It’s still 1969 at Duke University. From the Duke Chronicle: (emphasis is mine)

More than 60 students gathered to discuss gender inequity during Duke Student Government’s first Campus Gender Summit, held over three days.

Women and men met separately Monday and Tuesday respectively to discuss gender issues and then reconvened Wednesday to talk together about tangible action plans that could be implemented on campus.

“The goal of the Summit is to propose concrete recommendations that will improve the climate of gender issues on campus,” according to a Wednesday press release from DSG.

Liaison to Gender Issues Michelle Sohn, a senior, said she hoped the forum would address what she called a “problematic gender dynamic on campus that… a lot of students are frustrated about.”

Issues of sexual assault and peer pressure will, unfortunately, always be with us. But I just wish the “Gender Summit” would discuss the reality of 2010.
