杜克中国学生会给杜克社区的公开信(英、中)

An Open Letter to Duke Community

Apr 14th, 2008

After last Wednesday’s high profile protest on Duke campus, a few subscribers to the mailing list
China@duke.edu
anonymously sent out messages verbally attacking one student using language we found troubling and heinous, as well as releasing this student’s private information. This mailing list was set up mainly for the purpose of helping students exchange information such as second-hand car or apartment sublease. It is open to the public, not limited only to Chinese students and scholars at Duke, for subscription and currently has more than 900 registered users, and like many other mailing list of this kind, we do not have a dedicated member to monitor it closely on a daily basis. However, we removed all the relevant messages once they were brought to our attention. Duke Chinese Students and Scholars Association (DCSSA) hereby declares our unequivocal position that we strongly disagree and condemn the behavior of these few anonymous subscribers.

However, we are very disappointed by the story “Student gets threats after China protest” appearing on today’s Chronicle (Apr 14th, 2008). We feel regretful that this student considered it was DCSSA’s fault to release “all kinds of information” about her, and several other student organizations on campus blamed DCSSA for actions taken by certain subscribers to our mailing list, which, for the reasons stated above, we have to disagree with. We are sympathetic to this student’s situation, and as the representatives of DCSSA, we will try to contact this student to resolve any misunderstandings.

As one of the largest student groups on campus, DCSSA is an organization dedicated to promoting diversity on Duke Campus. We are always proud to bring the culture from China—our home country which has a glorious history of more than 5,000 years, to the Gothic Wonderland which we also call home. We hope that by learning from each other, we can work towards an even brighter future. We appreciate the increasing attention on China recently received from the Duke Community. In light of the recent events on and off campus, we welcome your constructive comments and healthy reflections on a wide range of topics, including the impartiality of media, freedom of speech, and effectiveness of cross-cultural communication. Please feel free to send us your email to:

Thank you!

Zhizhong Li, DCSSA President

杜克中国学生会给社区的公开信

DWNEWS.COM-- 2008年4月21日11:40:21(京港台时间) --多维新闻网

多维社获得杜克大学中国华人学生学者联谊会给杜克社区的公开信。全文刊发如下:

在上周三受人瞩目的校园和平集会以后,一部分人通过匿名的方式,在china@duke.edu这个公开邮件群上对一位同学进行了让人反感和过分的言语攻击,同时也泄漏了该同学一些个人信息。China@duke.edu这个邮件群是为了方便学生交流日常生活信息,包括二手车和房间出租等信息而设立的,它对所有人开放,并不局限于在杜克的学生和学者,到目前为止,那上面有超过900个用户。像所有类似的邮件系统一样,杜克中国华人学生学者联谊会(联谊会)并没有专人对此邮件列表进行严格的日常管理。但是,我们在知晓的第一时间已经把相关信息删除。联谊会在此郑重表明我们的立场:我们强烈反对和谴责这些匿名用户的行为!

但是,我们对《杜克纪事》报纸今天的报道《学生在抗议集会后受到威胁》表示极度失望。我们非常遗憾该学生认为联谊会应该对她个人信息的透漏负责,同时学校一些学生团体也因为这些匿名用户的行为而指责并借此要求解散联谊会。通过我们上面阐明的原因,我们对此表示反对。我们极度同情该学生的遭遇,同时我们代表联谊会,希望能和该学生沟通以消除彼此的误解。

做为校园内最大的学生团体之一,联谊会致力于增加校园内的多样性。我们对我们能把祖国5000年灿烂的文化和历史带到杜克大学这个新家感到骄傲。我们真诚希望通过互相学习,互相合作,我们创造一个更加美好的未来。我们感谢杜克社区最近对中国和中国问题的额外关注。针对近期校园内外发生的多起事件,我们希望能听到您建设性的意见和建议,我们愿意在媒体公正,自由言论,如何有效进行跨文化交流等主题上和大家进行积极而广泛的交流。如果您有任何想法,欢迎发送电子邮件到:dcssa2008@gmail.com。

谢谢大家!
