Indiana University president Pamela Whitten is asking faculty government to consider adopting the Chicago Principles, a set of guidelines about free speech on campus. One faculty leader says he's optimistic.
Faculty Council chair sees opportunity with Chicago Principles
The Chicago Principles aren’t policies and can’t be enforced, but they’re a symbolic move toward mending the university’s contentious climate.

At IUB, faculty salaries have not kept up with the cost of living. As the graph shows, relative to the cost of living, average faculty salaries declined by 10% between 2019 and 2025. Yet even with a vote of no confidence, Whitten's compensation has ballooned.
