IU was intellectual powerhouse, my time there during grad school was among the most enriching experiences I have ever had. This will destroy it. And once these things are destroyed they are not likely to come back.
Indiana state legislature just staged a hostile takeover of IU, functionally eliminating tenure, promising to close smaller (hum) majors, taking over the IU board, and cutting the IU budget. This is so bleak
