A lecturer at Indiana University was removed from one of her courses while the university investigates a complaint under the state’s intellectual diversity law. In today’s feature report, WFHB News speaks with Maria Bucur, the Vice President of the IU Chapter of the American Association of University Professors, or AAUP. Bucur says she sees this move as the “nail in the coffin” for academic freedom at the university and she alleges basic due process rights not being followed as well as a conflict of interest into the intellectual diversity investigation.
