Whitten rebuked: IU faculty vote no confidence in Whitten, Shrivastav, Docherty
"Faculty unrest has been brewing for years, beginning with a controversial presidential search process in 2020 and culminating this semester with the suspension of professor Abdulkader Sinno, the cancelation of Palestinian painter Samia Halaby’s exhibition and a dispute regarding compliance with a new Indiana law barring funds for the Kinsey Institute."

Students, faculty feel 'walled off' from Indiana University climate plan, sustainability projects
"IU tackles possibly the most ambitious sustainability project ever — its climate action plan. Though the university held at least one public forum at each campus, the planning committee meetings weren’t open to the public. And at least for now, implementation committee meetings aren’t either."

Nine cases of stolen electric bikes
I wonder how they managed to break through a u-lock? That's not easy.
"This is an increase from the four cases of e-vehicle theft in January.
Incidents included e-vehicles locked with cable and U-style locks, and each theft occurred while the e-vehicle was parked at a bike rack, according to the notice."
I think #IndianaUniversity has done a good job providing bikeways in the center of campus. But for some reason they don't mark *anything*. Here's the recommended design for a shared path, but the only place this exists is for about 100 yards next to the auditorium.
Deeply disappointing’: Anti-censorship groups call out IU’s cancellation of Palestinian artist's exhibit
The NCAC’s letter to Whitten also went unacknowledged, Larison said, and she’s heard that IU is not changing its position.
“This is deeply disappointing to us,” Larison said. “It's very foreboding that this is something that other public universities might consider or be emboldened to do as well.”
Indiana University Cancels Major Exhibition of Palestinian Artist
We made the New York Times!
The first American retrospective of Samia Halaby, regarded as one of the most important living Palestinian artists, was abruptly canceled by officials at Indiana University in recent weeks...“I write to formally notify you that the Eskenazi Museum of Art will not host its planned exhibition of your work,” Brenneman wrote in the Dec. 20 letter.
Cancelation of Palestinian artist's exhibit at Eskenazi Museum of Art.
Indiana University's Eskenazi Museum of Art has canceled a planned February exhibit featuring works by Samia Halaby, who is Palestinian-born visual artist. An online petition calling for the reinstatement of the exhibit has been set up. So far, the petition has received over 7,000 signatures.

#IndianaUniversity auditorium telling us our Straight No Chaser tickets are no good. Straight No Chaser to the bank to stop payments if they've double-charged us!
IU administration plans to sever Kinsey Institute from the university
(The Kinsey Institute is the premier research institute on human sexuality and relationships and a trusted source for critical issues in sexuality, gender, and reproduction)
We're starting to see their plans to turn the university into a right-wing stronghold take fruit.

"...represents a significant shift in the university’s focus, which emphasized the arts and humanities under Herman B. Wells, raising questions about the implications and potential outcomes of this endeavor."
#IndianaUniversity trustees are going to vote on "an amendment to President Whitten’s employment agreement" this week. Do you suppose she's going to give back some of her salary to support grad student workers?
Hanging out at the IU soccer exhibition match. None of the players are wearing numbers but Sarver continues to be blond and Hugo Bacharach appears to be really tall. Hoosiers are preseason #2. #IndianaUniversity #MastodonFC

House Republicans vote to block public funding from Kinsey Institute at Indiana University
Rep. Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) offered the amendment to the state budget bill and alleged, without proof, that the institute and IU are currently sheltering sexual predators.

@ATLpaul I parked at the #IndianaUniversity bike room today. 80% full instead of the usual 50%. I think everyone decided to leave their bikes indoors over break!
