This begins by witholding support from the founding denomination of Duke, the United Methodist Church.

I didn't know that. I thought Duke University was founded by Doris Duke the heiress in New Jersey.
It was named after Washington Duke, a prominent tobacco industrialist, one of several early founders.
Here is a description of Duke's ongoing relationship with the Methodist Church. Read it and weep.

Washington Duke was the father of Doris Duke? Do you happen to know?

Yep! I thought so. Doris Duke is a descendant of Washington Duke. Her photo is on one of the links you provided.
I enjoyed the link.
