The Board of Trustees unanimously confirmed University Faculty Council changes to the academic appointee conduct policy at its meeting in late July.

President Pamela Whitten and Vice President for Public Safety Benjamin Hunter discussed topics they haven't addressed publicly in a listening session with the College of Arts and Sciences.

The board’s opinion stated Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs Carrie Docherty did not act in accordance with Bloomington campus policy while pursuing severe sanctions.

Colin Johnson, president of Bloomington’s Faculty Council, announced the vote will take place April 16 between 2:30 - 5:30 p.m. at the IU Auditorium.

Senate Bill 202 would require regular reviews of tenured faculty to determine whether they meet certain criteria related to “intellectual diversity.”

IU and Purdue University announced their shared campus will separate by July 2024 without consulting faculty.

Faculty said they are “alarmed,” and their letter said Banks’ words “can only serve to further divide our students.”

While the portion of faculty in tenure-track positions has declined nationwide, Provost Shrivastav said more full-time professors can further IU’s objectives.

Members of IU faculty met this week upon the initiative of members of the Graduate Faculty Council and the American Association of University of Professors.

The Indiana University Bloomington Faculty Council is supporting graduate students' right to go on strike for a union.
