The following resolution was shared with the Bloomingtonian during the American Association of University Professors—Indiana University Bloomington Chapter meeting before Monday’s faculty meeting at IU. This is being shared so faculty can have a visual copy before it’s read at the 3:30 meeting:
“Resolved, the IU Bloomington faculty asserts, (1) as per the Graduate Academic Appointees Guide, reappointments of SAAs are determined by departmental and school policies; (2) no SAA will fail to be reappointed in Fall 2022 due to participating in the Spring 2022 SAA strike, including failure to turn in Spring 2022 grades in a timely manner; (3) the VPFAA will immediately release the SAA appointments for Summer 2022; (4) as per the Constitution of the Bloomington Faculty, the faculty will review the performance of the administration with respect to future labor disputes; (5) the BFC will ensure that all disciplined students receive due process for grievances via the SAA mediation and review structures of the BFC; (6) the BFC will re-constitute and empower the new SAA Committee to strengthen and clarify IUB policy for SAAs, particularly emphasizing the central role of the department, program, or other supervising unit concerning SAA reappointment.”
