Dr. Geeta Swamy, executive vice dean for clinical sciences and research administration at the School of Medicine, will depart Duke University to become dean of the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, with her last day at Duke scheduled for December. Earlier on September 17, 2026, some Duke professors implemented bans on technology in their classrooms, citing concerns that devices like laptops and phones distract students and hinder attention and participation despite their potential as learning tools. This development follows news on September 17, 2026, that the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into Duke University's relationship with Wuhan University in China, specifically scrutinizing the 2013 partnership that led to the establishment of Duke Kunshan University. Previously, on September 17, 2026, Duke University's Department of Biomedical Engineering secured a $500,000 investment, supported by donor contributions and the dean's office, to enhance its teaching laboratories and provide new resources for hands-on educational experiences.
