REAC Spotlight: Nicholas Chrapliwy on Creating Policies to Advance Racial Equity at Duke

Through a united effort across Duke University, the Racial Equity Advisory Council (REAC) works to address racism, inequity, and injustice at Duke. Nicholas Chrapliwy, Duke alumni, offers his thoughts on REAC and its work. He specifically speaks on the Infrastructure & Policy subcommittee and being a student on the council.

The four REAC subcommittees are drawing on expertise at Duke and outside to make evidence-based policy recommendations on racial equity issues. REAC is responsible for advising the university’s executive leadership on implementation of the subcommittee recommendations.
