Description
The ACLU of Indiana filed a lawsuit against Gov. Mike Braun over the recently passed budget bill that changes how members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees are selected.
As part of House Enrolled Act 1001, Indiana's governor will now have total control over choosing the board's nine members. Previously, IU alumni vote to elect three members, while the governor picks the other six.
According to our partners at the Indiana Capital Chronicle, the new language gives the governor the power to remove and replace an alumni-appointed board member "at any time." The new rules stipulate at least five of the members appointed to the board must be IU alumni and five must be residents of Indiana.
The ACLU of Indiana says Indiana law provides a method at every other Indiana public university for alumni to select a number of the members of each university's board of trustees.
