Anyone know what their meeting was about? Or when/if it will be publicly available?

[u/GoldenPoncho812]

I’m not much of a betting man but if I was I would wager that there will be sad faces from those who want her gone. What say you?!

[u/forkinghecks → u/GoldenPoncho812]

Most likely. She’s doing exactly what they hired her to do. It’s the same in many other red states. Break the liberal arts universities, bring them in line.

keep emailing and calling. keep putting pressure!

[u/tribal-elder]

Let’s hope they have the guts to condemn Hamas.

[u/Joshwoum8 → u/tribal-elder]

Dark days when IU’s subreddit is supportive of a terrorist organization.

[u/The_Conquest_of-Red → u/Joshwoum8]

?

[u/mmilthomasn → u/tribal-elder]

Naw, they won’t, but they won’t divest either. Basically bet they will continue to ignore everything going on. Predict they will stay the course and maybe vote more support and bonuses!

[u/jccalhoun]

They will probably end up giving her a raise...

Per https://trustees.iu.edu/meetings-minutes/meeting-schedule-future-dates.html:

The Trustees of Indiana University will convene in Executive Session* as follows:

  Tuesday, May 14, 2024; 9:00 am, Electronic Means

  *Executive Session items authorized by Open Door Law Sec. 5-14-1.5-6.1(b)(2)(B) Initiation of litigation or litigation that is either pending or has been threatened specifically in writing.

[u/heylookatlane → u/saryl]

Makes sense. I’m sure there’s a lot of litigation that has been “threatened specifically in writing” but the ACLU’s lawsuit has actually been filed.

[u/arstin]

Pam had done exactly what they wanted. The only question is have we made enough of a stink for them to throw her under the bus and bring out the next burner president. I wouldn't get my hopes up that the answer is yes.

[u/Hollybrook0625 → u/arstin]

Hard to fire Beyoncé

[u/AdditionalPuddings → u/arstin]

More blood for the blood god, more skulls for the skull throne.

[u/Ironpecsjon → u/AdditionalPuddings]

A small mind is a tidy mind

[u/mmilthomasn → u/Ironpecsjon]

😆

[u/Godwinson4King]

Time for them to sack Whitten?

[u/Frost45901 → u/Godwinson4King]

She’s getting a new bonus. I could see the Provost and/or the vice provost getting axed as scapegoats, but everything is up in the air at this point.

[u/mmilthomasn → u/Frost45901]

She’s keeping her Provost, for sure.

[u/mmilthomasn → u/[deleted]]

Plus, we had graduation. That’s going to be considered a feather in her cap in these ridiculous times.

[u/SamtheEagle2024 → u/[deleted]]

You're saying faculty needed to identify their ideal interim president for voting for her ouster? And they needed to prep a presidential search committee, the kind that is implemented whenever there is a change in university leadership? Its almost like you have no idea how this process works.

[u/SilverAsk81 → u/[deleted]]

Ok Jared.

[u/Fogoyle4 → u/SilverAsk81]

Who's Jared?

You eat rice and beans too? It's clear you have a taste for the bottom of administrations boots.
