A graduating student at Duke University faced heavy criticism after delivering a commencement address that shared “striking similarities” with a Harvard University graduation speech from 2014. During her commencement ceremony on May 8, speaker Priya Parkash called her school “the Duke nation” and said it could become its own country due to its various associations and landmarks. Parkash, who is originally from Pakistan, said that “if Duke were to dig a moat around its perimeter and fill that with water, it could be its own tiny island nation, like Cuba or maybe even Sri Lanka.”

Some of the themes and language of the Sunday speech from Duke's Priya Parkash appeared to have been mirrored from Sarah Abushaar's 2014 commencement address at Harvard University.

Duke University is sometimes referred to as a pretty good knock-off of fancier schools farther north. At Duke, students lived together on-campus and off, mingled in dorms and attended classes and labs. There was “the Duke Compact,” a pandemic version of an honor code entered into by every student who came to campus. It implemented the pooled testing program, which relayed highly accurate results in 18 to 30 hours. Those models fleshed out the contours of an effective pooled testing program, and showed that Cornell’s veterinary labs — which were skilled in the testing of herds of dairy cows — could carry it out.
