Faculty of Indiana University’ College of Arts and Sciences passed a resolution Wednesday calling for trustees to remove President Pamela Whitten and Provost Rahul Shrivastav. Nine-hundred eleven of the college’s 1209 faculty members participated (75.4%), and the resolution passed with 86 percent in favor (Y 783, N 54, A 73).
Faculty also called on the board of trustees to repeal a new policy governing the use of Dunn Meadow, which police cited when they arrested 57 protesters last week (Y 852, N 35, A 25) and to repeal campus bans for those community members who were arrested. Both measures passed with over 90 percent in favor.
The college is the university’s largest academic unit. It includes the Media School, the School of Art, and the School of Global and International Studies. The resolution follows a similar one the Bloomington Library Faculty approved Tuesday.
