Join us for an opportunity to discuss immediate threats to departments and programs, loss of tenure and productivity reviews, the erasure of DEI, and more. We will feature a few exciting speakers, followed by an opportunity for all members of our community to share their concerns and suggest actions that we can take.
Invited Speakers
Legal impact and implications of HEA 1001
Effects of MRE on Undergraduate Students
Effects of HEA 1001 on small programs , organizing as means to regain faculty voice in the process
5 year review and its effects on academic freedom, faculty job security
IU termination without due process
How to organize / get involved without burnout, fear, etc.
These presentations will provide important insights into the challenges currently facing our university and the broader landscape of higher education in Indiana. From legislative threats to program elimination, to the chilling effects of new review policies and the loss of tenure protections, faculty, staff, and students alike are being asked to bear the costs of policies that undermine the mission of the university.
The Town Hall is also designed to be a space for open dialogue and collective problem-solving. After hearing from our invited speakers, all participants will have the opportunity to voice their concerns, share experiences from their departments and programs, and propose strategies for collective action. We want this meeting to not only inform, but also energize and empower our community to stand together in defense of academic freedom, job security, and meaningful shared governance.
This event is open to all faculty, staff, and students. Whether you have been directly affected by recent changes, or simply want to learn more and support your colleagues, your voice matters and your presence is vital.

Acclaimed local photographer Rodney Margison, in cooperation with Down Syndrome Family Connection, presents his first solo photography exhibition, “A Little Extra Love.”
Margison is best known for his captivating portraiture, fashion-inspired fine art, and emotionally charged live music imagery.

They laughed, played around, and joked with each other, illustrating their spirit, whim, and whimsy.

Filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial filmmakers of the 20th century. While Riefenstahl spent decades after the war denying her association with Nazism and claiming ignorance of the Holocaust, during her long post-war life she remained unapologetic, managing to control and shape her legacy. Meanwhile, her work experienced a renaissance, gaining esteem for its masterful technical skill. Riefenstahl examines the life, work, and legacy of the filmmaker using never-before-seen documents from her estate, including private films, photos, recordings and letters, uncovering fragments of her biography and placing them in an extended historical context. In an era where fascism is on the rise again, fake news is prevalent, and the meaning of political imagery is constantly dissected and debated, this mesmerizing new film shows that Leni Reifenstahl is more relevant than ever.
