Duke Community Invited to Offer Comments on Review of Naming of Carr Building

The Duke Department of History, which is currently housed in the Carr Building on East Campus, has proposed that the university remove the Carr name from the building.  The proposal also recommends renaming the building after Raymond Gavins, who was the first African-American professor of history at Duke and who died in 2016.

President Vincent Price has formed a committee to consider the proposal and make recommendations. The committee welcomes your thoughts and views. Please use the survey link to share your feedback with the committee: https://duke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2018t1H3jjmEm1v
