Cuts to academic programs are not directly tied to what is happening with IDS, but rather signal a rapid degradation of educative offerings and quieting of free inquiry. On the cuts: www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

As a former student journalist for the IDS, this is disheartening to say the least. IU made massive cuts over the summer to a host of invaluable programs including African American and African Diaspora Studies as well.
Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

Terrific @asapolisoc.bsky.social panel on Political Engagement at #asa2025 this am. Overall takeaway, conventional understandings of engagement are far too restricted to voting. E.g. Case's research says egalitarian and redistributive ballot initiatives are hugely popular, esp. in red states.
