The statement from the Trustees was posted on the Board of Trustees website Wednesday, and it comes as President Pamela Whitten attends listening sessions with faculty.

The meetings are intended for faculty to speak directly with Whitten, in a closed-door setting, unit by unit. Many of IU's units have voted on resolutions recently calling for Whitten's removal.

Protesters gathered outside a conference room in the Indiana Memorial Union where university president Pamela Whitten was hosting a listening session.

In the past month, about half of Bloomington campus units have voted against university President Pamela Whitten and her administration’s actions against protesters on campus.

Protesters claimed they were hit by a Bloomington community service vehicle during a march through town.

More than 900 faculty attended the vote Tuesday at the IU Auditorium.

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.

She also said IU has taken “swift and comprehensive” action against reports of antisemitism.

About 100 people attended a teach-in on Palestinian artist Samia Halaby and IU's cancellation of her exhibit.

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