For example, the report describes a campus where, despite gay-friendly policies, the "lived experience of (gay or transgender) students is that of intolerance, exclusion, and harassment," and where students in their first two years "remain as racially and ethnically homogenous as they were during high school."

The committee's report touches only briefly on the lacrosse incident last spring. But five of its 28 recommendations would affect athletics. For example, it urges Duke to decrease practice and travel demands on athletes so they can participate more in campus academic and social life, and to reduce the number of athletes admitted who are near the low end of admission requirements.
