The position is an opportunity for students to work with IU leadership for a 2-year term.
This year’s goals include fossil fuel divestment and a waste audit.
The realignment will become official in 2024.
The new role will focus on recruiting and retaining diverse faculty.
Potential firings of graduate workers on strike fuel faculty concerns.
Councilmember Sue Sgambelluri recused herself from the decision.
IU graduate students can use social media to share messages more effectively.
The task force’s chair aims to highlight opportunities for lower tuition and fees for undergraduate students.
The IUGW-UE characterized the decision as “strange.”
IUSG and SNGW argue there’s not enough student representation.
Though challenging, the strike calls on IU students, staff and faculty to act.
The graduate workers started their strike April 13 to look for union recognition.
After 97.8% voted in favor of authorizing a strike, IU graduate and undergraduate students began picketing Wednesday.
About 200 people attended, according to a speaker at the event.
700 IU students have already signed up to picket. The movement’s goal is 1,000.
The IDS has organized its coverage to catch you up and keep you up to date on this multi-year dispute.
The weather has not affected their plans to strike.
Graduate workers will vote Sunday on whether to begin a strike next week.
