On the disciplining of an #IndianaUniversity professor for daring to discuss contemporary issues (and take a position on them) in a class on political thought:

On how #IndianaUniversity's problems reflect and connect to broader issues around democracy and expertise:

Two medical school faculty in the Indy Star:

"This isn’t a partisan issue. No matter your politics, the loss of open, thoughtful decision-making should be alarming. Processes like faculty governance, peer review and public advisory boards aren’t meant to slow things down or push a political agenda. They exist because they lead to better decisions. When they’re ignored, we don’t just lose transparency. We lose trust."
