IU BOT

Now, not only does he appoint 5 of the 9, but he can choose to replace any of the alumni elected for any reason. Why bother having alumni elections?

To make it appear that the governor doesn’t control the board - when in actuality, he would.

That said, I can’t honestly say that the Board as it’s been has exemplified itself. But this doesn’t seem like the solution to that.

Effectively a hostile takeover by a political party. Wonder what King Braun has in store for the university. Probably guaranteed to pick based on political affiliation.
 
The faculty is also mad that the bill removes "shared governance", the concept that the faculty and administration jointly control IU. The bill reduces faculty participation to advisory.

I’m inquiring about that handle. Is this our stoll?
Yep, I had a short lived protest, cancelled my subscription and requested my account be deleted.

During the process I met Sammy through an email thread. He along with another of the owners are good guys. They’re doing the best job in years on the Premium Basketball Board. They’ve also added a Women’s Board which was long overdue.

I lost 10 months of my previous subscription with my deletion choice but WTH, I paid up for another full year. I added a little to my name in honor of The Greatest Moderator and Coolerite of all time.

So I am happily back doing my job on all the boards.

Not free. I worked 90/100 hour weeks again. I worked for my young partner who now owns the Practice. All 3,600 plus clients have my cell number and think I should be involved. Hopefully after this second tax season of me working only remotely the situation will be fixed this summer.

If only I had a-hole skills I could fix this quickly. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
 
This is a complete and utter bullshit piece of legislation.

I say this as an alumnus that has consistently voted for BOT candidates.
I literally have no opinion on the matter, but did you actually know the people who were running?

I didn't. I voted for the person I felt would be the least offensive, just based on their resume.

I doubt this changes anything, frankly, but I understand why some would be upset.
 
In a state where there’s already a brain drain I’m not sure this policy will be positive. If I was a neighboring state, most likely Illinois I’d make a sweetheart deal to encourage Indiana residents to attend their public schools. Who knows, maybe this will be a whole lot of nothing.

I know Desantis did this in Florida and I’m honestly not sure what the residual affects are, or do we know yet?

It’s possible we may not lose many in state kids, but maybe it could affect recruiting the east coast kids that flock to IU.

Florida universities are $5,500 - $6,300 and thriving. FSU the dummy party school for UF rejects is now ranked much higher than IU.

Just tuition. But room and board is incredibly cheap too. All 11 publics

Really? What did we do? You weren't even participating here.

Interesting, someone was saying the law passed and it only targets IU, PU and others still get to elect Trustees.

Some day we'll have a Democrat in power. Just saying.

If/when that day comes, the state house will pass legislation to roll back the power of the governor.

Given the shady gerrymeandering that has been allowed (even liberal bloomington doesn't get a voice), dems will likely never get the state house. Don't worry. we will see a flurry of laws passed to prevent the pendulum from swinging the other way.
