Liberal speakers outnumbered conservatives at Indiana University, Bloomington last school year by a margin of 11-to-1.
A Campus Reform analysis reveals that Indiana University, Bloomington (IUB) hosted just four conservative speakers during the 2016-17 academic year.
Overall, IUB’s official calendar includes 117 events featuring speakers who either addressed controversial/political topics or are known for their political activity, about one-third of which could be categorized as left-of-center.
The events ranged from commencement ceremonies and conferences to special lectures and exhibits that focused on issues of culture and diversity. Many of the invited speakers were academic experts and authors who have written extensively on relevant academic and public policy topics.
Campus Reform researched the political affiliations of all 117 speakers, taking into consideration their public statements and opinions as well as organizational affiliations, and determined that 44 of the speakers who appeared on campus during the 2016-17 school year demonstrated a left-of-center political leaning.
The remaining 69 lecturers either delivered speeches on politically neutral topics or could not be effectively labeled as either “left” or “right” of center based on their past remarks.
In a sad, sad day for journalism in Michiana, WNDU took down a story about South Bend, IN making the 50 worst cities to live in list … again. They did so after the Mayor publicly attacked them for publishing it.
The city of South Bend has proposed to pay for sexual assault training for all government workers and elected officials. This got me thinking … Why don’t they pay for other ongoing training courses that would help them be better at their jobs?
I have some suggestions for them based on their poor budgetary performance.
Listener sent me Mayor Buttigieg’s hissy fit at WNDU covering South Bend being on the worst cities to live in list.
South Bend wants to spend money on sexual assault classes for all city workers and elected officials. I have some other ongoing training class suggestions for them.
WNDU confirmed to me they removed worst cities post after Mayor Buttigieg’s tirade. They falsely claim the violent crime statistics are in dispute.
