Key Points AI-assisted summary

• An Indiana University lecturer was removed from teaching a class after she presented a graphic touching on examples of white supremacy.
• A letter from IU administrators said she potentially violated Indiana's intellectual diversity law.
• The lecturer and the AAUP allege that the university has not followed its policies in dealing with the complaint.

BLOOMINGTON, IN — An Indiana University lecturer says she was removed from teaching a class after a student complained to U.S. Sen. Jim Banks' office about course content and the school deemed her lecture could violate state law.

The investigation into Jessica Adams centers around a graphic about white supremacy that she presented during her graduate-level social work class titled "Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice."

A letter from administrators said she potentially violated Indiana's "intellectual diversity" law. Under Senate Enrolled Act 202, a professor must embrace free expression and intellectual diversity and may not lecture about political views unrelated to their field.

"During class, the instructor spoke on White Supremacy and showed a graphic that listed Make America Great Again (MAGA) as worse than police killing people of color and stated that MAGA is socially unacceptable white supremacy," the complaint reads. "Also lists Columbus Day and 'colorblind' as White Supremacy."
