“On August 30, 2014, before a football game against Elon, the executive vice president of Duke University hit a parking attendant with his car—and, she says, called her a “stupid nigger” as he drove away. Following an investigative report by the Duke Chronicle, nine students have occupied an administrative building and are demanding the resignation of three senior university officials.

A few days after the August incident, Shelvia Underwood, of McLaurin Parking and Transportation, filed a police report with the Duke University Police Department, alleging that Executive Vice President Tallman Trask hit her with his car. Under pressure from her boss and fearing that she would lose her job if she filed a lawsuit, Underwood told the Chronicle that she communicated to Trask that a “sincere apology” would be sufficient.

Three weeks later, Vice President for Administration Kyle Cavanaugh delivered a note to Underwood. “A tall guy comes up behind me and says, ‘Um, I don’t know exactly what happened out here, but whatever, here you go.’ And he hands me a card,” she told the Chronicle.”
