Senate Bill 110 seeks to reestablish three alumni-elected positions on the Indiana University Board of Trustees. In today’s featured interview, WFHB Correspondent Elena Bai speaks with Sharon Roualet, who wrote a letter to the editor in the Herald Times urging IU football fans to support Senate Bill 110. Roualet emphasized the bill’s potential impact on academic freedom and governance alignment with political parties. Despite slim chances of actually passing, Roualet advocates for alumni and community involvement to influence the bill’s progress and governance reform.
