Officials postpone State of the University Address until Oct. 12

IU announced it will postpone the annual State of the University Address until Oct. 12.

Originally scheduled for this Tuesday, the address will be at 2 p.m. Oct. 12 in Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union.

On Thursday, the University Faculty Council sent out an e-mail that said the postponement was out of respect for the death of former IU President Myles Brand and Mel Simon, who, along with his wife Bren, gave more than $70 million to IU.

The annual address takes place during a University Faculty Council meeting.
