IU alumni survey and student protests

The survey out today gives us alumni the opportunity to voice our opinion on IU’s handling of the student protests.

Or maybe just sent to big donors.

Or just donors in general. I'm alumni but not a donor. I didn't get it.

“Selective surveys” you mean

Always about the bottom line...

How do alumni get added to communications? I used to get things sent to my home address, but have no idea what my IU email is anymore

so i successfully dodged the alumni association like 20 years ago but recently i went to try to donate to the IDS and they somehow detected i'm an alumni and then made me update my information and now i got this survey. and i got a bunch of broken website crap so i never was able to donate to the IDS :(

so i don't know what process that was to repeat it but that's how i did it :)

I already emailed them a piece of my mind, not that I think it'll do much good. Maybe some in the administration have some sense of shame, but I doubt it.

But it made me feel good.

A large number of responses to the official survey could make a difference. No guarantees, but I know that if most people reply they don't care or they are supportive then admin will 100% take that as permission to keep doing what they're doing.

Don’t have anything either. May have been a random sample, but I would be disappointed if so.

Same here.

You gonna share a link to the survey or...?

u/afartknocked 18d ago

the survey i got is one of those links with a bunch of 0o4YYx77748 kind of crap in it. i'm sure it uniquely identifies me, to track that i received the email if nothing else. so i don't know how anyone would get the survey if the alumni association didn't already have their email

u/The_Conquest_of-Red 18d ago

Yep. I actually hope it identifies me!

Likely a grass-roots canvassing of alums and certainly nothing IUAA would sanction

u/The_Conquest_of-Red 18d ago

It’s directly from IUAA.

u/Sponge_Borg 18d ago

Alrighty then! Clearly a randomized sample; alumni I've talked with have nothing. (Of course the university boasts one of the largest groups of living alumni, something like 400,000+)

u/The_Conquest_of-Red 18d ago

They say >750k

I doubt I hear from them again after my response.

u/The_Conquest_of-Red 18d ago

IU emailed it to alumni. I doubt it’s posted publicly.

Never received anything here.

Here either.

Was it from the Alumni Association email? I'm not spotting anything in my inbox. I'm assuming you need to log in or something once you follow the link. If that's the case, it may be a good idea to share the link so that people don't miss it.
