> Duke University weighs in on the controversy over Fun Home<\/em><\/a>: “The summer reading is entirely voluntary–it is not a requirement, nor is there a grade or record of any student’s participation. With a class of 1,750 new students from around the world, it would be impossible to find a single book that did not challenge someone’s way of thinking. We understand and respect that, but also hope that students will begin their time at Duke with open minds and a willingness to explore new ideas, whether they agree with them or not.”<\/p>\n![\"1d\"](\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1d1.png?resize=300%2C296\")
