"Indiana's SB 202: Targeting College Tenure and Intellectual Diversity"

Indiana lawmakers are pushing a bill to limit tenure at public colleges and universities, aiming to influence campus operations they view as unfriendly to conservative students and professors. The bill would establish a post-tenure review process, prevent faculty from gaining tenure if they are unlikely to foster a culture of free inquiry, and broaden diversity efforts to include differences in political opinions. Critics argue that the proposal would effectively do away with tenure and stifle academic discussion, while supporters argue it aims to make campuses more welcoming for conservative viewpoints.
