A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

🚨New publication alert!🚨 Jails are a prominent piece of the US carceral state, yet we often lump them in with prisons and (falsely) assume that they follow similar trends for mass incarceration. In this piece, we unpack what we lose when we conflate jails and prisons and trace jails' unique role.

Indiana University fires IDS
adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's contentThe director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.
