August at IU: Back Together Again August—the time when we come together again—is finally here. First, our staff and faculty are coming back soon to be followed by students at all our campuses. We have cause to celebrate at Indiana University as we have already achieved a vaccination rate approaching 85% of all constituents, which provides a strong defense against current and emerging COVID-19 strains. We are coming back in full force with all the normal activities on a college campus.
As we navigate this return to full campus activities, we will need to be nimble to adjust so that everything will remain at full operation. Last week, the CDC and some local officials recommended wearing masks when indoors regardless of vaccine status. Because of this, we are instructing that all IU students, faculty, staff and visitors mask up indoors beginning August 5. This applies to all campuses. We have consistently followed CDC and IDOH guidance throughout the pandemic, and our campuses remain among the safest places to be.
We stress that wearing masks indoors is the only thing that is changing, though. And, this mask guideline pertains to indoors only—the weather is beautiful so let's do everything we can outside. Get out to a football game, attend Regatta, meet up with your friends for an outdoor study session, or head to the basketball courts. Inside, wearing masks will help ensure we can KEEP doing all the normal things on our campuses.
This is a time-limited recommendation; we will continue to monitor local conditions and will make changes to individual campuses based on local data.
Fall at IU; back together again.
Mitch is Purdue’s pres... Just sayin. Dont like him, but in this, he is not guilty.

Here... some info. His approach is a CYA, but not “entirely” Fascist.
I read follow the monkey.
I laughed.
I already got straightened out!
Its all good. I just happen to be an IU alum... (spit) and live in the state.
At Purdue, Mitch has been a mixed bag. On one hand he froze tuition for in staters for a long time. On the other he financed it by bringing in a literal butt load of foreign student. (Read Chinese) He isn’t as absu’f’in’lutely out of his mind as some higher ed Presidents, but he is part of the Deep State™ like Pence or Coats. If he stepped out in front of a bus, I would not send flowers.
“Slimy Mitch Daniels is IU’s prez.”
No, he is not. He is Purdue University’s prez.
Mitch Daniels is president of Purdue University not Indian University.
The Left sees lying as a virtue.
Easy mistake. No biggie!
