Ball State AAUP

As the recent cyber ransom threat by hackers via the Canvas learning management system illustrated, digital security is a real and growing concern.

Check out the AAUP and Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom's resources on digital security and a short video at the link in comments.

The May Indiana AAUP newsletter is now available, and it is filled with evidence that faculty across Indiana are not only concerned about the future of higher education, but also about the current state of affairs. We are organizing!

This issue highlights the Spring Meeting, where faculty from across the state gathered to share their observations, challenges, and responses. It also includes updates on SEA 199, the 2026 legislative session, national academic freedom and DEI developments, chapter activity from IUB, IUSB, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Purdue West Lafayette, plus a faculty feature on Sarah Vitale and coverage of IU Bloomington AAUP’s independent financial analysis event.

Read the newsletter, share it with a colleague, and stay connected as we continue defending academic freedom, strengthening shared governance, and helping chapters across Indiana stay informed and ready to act.
