The Indiana Conference of the AAUP held its spring 2024 conference on April 27. We had an amazing day of panels, reflection, and conversation. The opening panel offered an opportunity to reflect on the StopSB202 campaign, with Campaign Director Alice Pawley (Purdue-WL). At the end of the panel, Alice was honored with the INAAUP Distinguished Service Award.
A second morning panel, “Assaults on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education” featured CariAnn Freed, the Director of Institutional Belonging and Title IX Coordinator at the University of Indianapolis, and Russ Skiba, Professor Emeritus (IU-Bloomington) and co-founder of the University Alliance for Racial Justice.
Afternoon panels included a discussion with Philipp Rosemann, president of the AAUP chapter at the University of Kentucky, where the Board and administration have systematically dismantled the faculty senate. David Nalbone of Purdue-NW and former president of the INAAUP led the final session, a discussion of how faculty senates can control implementation of SB202.
