TOWN HALL: Discussion of SB 202
by Materials Science and Engineering Graduate St Assoc 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

To all MSE graduate and postdoctoral researchers, Last week, the Indiana House of Representatives voted to approve Senate Bill 202 (SB202). This bill creates mandatory policies for the board of trustees at Purdue (along with all Indiana state schools) which are intended to eliminate political content from university curriculums and require the teaching of diverse intellectual perspectives when possible. The effects of this bill are somewhat unpredictable, but new disciplinary and tenure review practices are expected to impact the workings of higher education in the state. A summary of the bill is linked below, and commentary is plentiful online. As Purdue prepares to draft policies which are in line with SB202, the university senate has requested student input on implementation. To solicit this input and start an educational discussion of SB202, the MSEGSA will be hosting a town hall the Monday after spring break, where we can share our ideas. Please register below so we can select an appropriate space. Event Date: 3/18/2024 Event Time: 4:30pm Event Location: ARMS 2114 (may change based on expected attendance) SB 202 Summary: https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2024/bills/senate/202/details<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Figa.in.go…> Indiana General Assembly<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Figa.in.go…> Website for Indiana's General Assembly iga.in.gov Link to register: https://forms.gle/mfBqbfPwWNaxDN6n9<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0CfqJvwVTvs_BIQyyWP358oxI5PRf9MMowPUMOCSD…]<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> SB 202 Town Hall RSVP<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle…> Thank you for your interest in the town hall!
