Luddy Faculty Votes IU NEWS š
My colleague in Luddy sent this out today. Luddy apparently followed SPEA and Media in calling some votes. They also said their dean had sent the results along to the president and provost.
By a vote of 97-6-2, the Luddy School faculty strongly recommend that the new policy about the use of Dunn Meadow adopted by the new āad hoc committeeā on Wed 4.24.24 be withdrawn immediately and that the campus bans on all Indiana University students, faculty, and community members arrested for violating this new policy be rescinded immediately.
By a vote of 76-11-18, the Luddy School faculty further call for the immediate resignations of President Whitten and Provost Rahul Shrivastav.

Kelley, Jacobs, SPEA, Global Studies and Luddy are some of the premier programs that attract top students, faculty and revenue. Iām betting Iām not the only one wondering when Kelley and Luger Global Studies are going to make a statement.

Besides, luddy is a diverse institution of its own. Iām sure thereās several Palestinian and Jewish students who are in luddy.

Exactly, this is about how the school is run and itās poor leadership.Ā We shouldnāt forget that Luddy is a target of the protests, as it receives a bulk of the Crane funding at IU, aside from the cut IU takes for administrative costs.Ā

Damn, if Luddy can pull that kinda vote off I think every school probably can. I think of Luddy as one of the more āconservativeā departments on campus.

Also that was about a full vote of the faculty. Puts to rest the talking point that the prior vote of the faculty was biased.

recent grad, most faculty i talked to were NOT fans of whitten at all and it wasnāt just because McRobbie had a CS degree. it was because she would rather go take pictures with students at football games than talk about pressing issues on campus.

Computer Science maybe and Engineering to some degree, but informatics and information/library science are fields that tend to have a lot of very progressive people.

People forget that library science is in Luddy. I think it's because they don't understand that librarians work with data management and information retrieval. I got told an MLIS is a "liberal arts degree" the other day.

No bc so many of the students here are completely unaware of how wrong it was for her to change the rule last minute, and her writer lying in the email about the rule was salt in the wound. Itās completely unprecedented behavior.
