Last year, Purdue University announced Mitch Daniels would be stepping down as president – and that his successor would be Mung Chiang, then-dean of the university’s College of Engineering.

Some 30 Purdue graduate workers and faculty rallied Wednesday to show support for Indiana University graduate workers' efforts to have their union recognized by IU.

The Coalition chose Sept. 25 for the vote on whether to strike. That day also is the add/drop deadline for semester-long classes.

The IU Board of Trustees said it won’t recognize the graduate student union requested by striking Student Academic Appointees.

Graduate workers offered pamphlets to prospective students and their parents and conducted "disorientation" tours to highlight landmarks built with tuition money.

Half a dozen faculty at Indiana University said they're bracing for striking graduate student workers to lose their positions. They said their concerns stem from information they've learned at closed-door meetings with the Provost and other campus administrators.
