Election discussions in the classroom

Posted on by cschult

Election Day is finally here and emotions are running high. We’d like to remind you that our classrooms should be a welcoming place for all our students, so any conversations in the classroom about the election or its aftermath should be handled with care and consideration for diverse views and experiences.  It’s important to establish ground rules and goals for a productive discussion.  This article contains a wealth of information for handling difficult conversations in the classroom:  https://citl.indiana.edu/teaching-resources/diversity-inclusion/managing-difficult-classroom-discussions/index.html

This article provides more focused advice about the 2020 election:  https://crlt.umich.edu/blog/structuring-classroom-discussions-about-2020-election

Presidential Search Virtual Town Hall

Posted on by aboelcke

You are invited to give input on the search for Indiana University’s next president through a town hall Thursday, Nov. 5. The IU Board of Trustees’ presidential search advisory committee is gathering feedback on three key questions:

  • What major challenges and opportunities will the next president inherit?
  • What type of person will be best prepared to address the challenges and explore opportunities in terms of leadership style, experience, financial acumen, views, etc.?
  • What highlights can the search committee and advisory committee share with candidates unfamiliar with IU and Indiana.

IU faculty, staff and students and members of the public can share their feedback during this town hall session. Participants are requested to register to attend the session:

Comments may also be sent to the search advisory committee at info@rwilliamfunk.com  by Nov. 6.

The advisory committee will present its report to the search committee by Nov. 13. The Board of Trustees’ intent is to have a new leader in place when President Michael A. McRobbie retires in June 2021. Updates about the search will be posted on the presidential search page on the Board of Trustees website.
