Faculty will consider no confidence resolutions against President Pamela Whitten, Provost Rahul Shrivastav and Vice Provost Faculty and Academic Affairs Carrie Docherty Tuesday.  

The union representing Indiana University grad students voted “no confidence” in President Pamela Whitten and are exploring a strike after their demands went unanswered.

The group reports about 1,300 card-carrying members. The workers requested a response from Whitten and the university by Jan. 29.

The on-campus rally attracted nearly 100 people.

In addition to rejecting the strike, union members accepted the coordinating committee’s recommendation to allow it to set a future strike date if negotiations with the university break down.

In its statement, the IGWC Coordinating Committee said that while it insists union recognition is the only path forward, many of its demands have already been met.
