Here’s some additional background, according to this article (https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/duke-academic-complains-about-students-speaking-chinese):

The criticism of Chinese-speaking biostatistics students comes a month after Larry Moneta, Duke’s vice-president for student affairs, while visiting Duke Kunshan University near Shanghai, posted photos to Facebook mocking Chinese food and air quality.

Duke has invested tens of millions of dollars in Duke Kunshan University with the hope that it will lead to a surge in the number of Chinese students at its main campus in North Carolina.
