At IUB, faculty salaries have not kept up with the cost of living. As the graph shows, relative to the cost of living, average faculty salaries declined by 10% between 2019 and 2025. Yet even with a vote of no confidence, Whitten's compensation has ballooned.

“We call upon department chairs, deans, and the administration to honor faculty authority.”

This is a call to everyone at IU Bloomington: Support your faculty. Uphold shared governance. Respect the process. Our strength lies in principled, collaborative leadership.

Good governance isn’t rushed. Our faculty need time to review, deliberate, and decide. The best path forward requires patience, participation, and policy.

"Let Faculty Expertise Lead"

“There is no better path than fidelity to process and honoring faculty deliberation.”

At a time when education is under attack, we must return to our core values: faculty expertise, thoughtful deliberation, and shared governance.
