Word of Purdue's incoming president draws a range of reactions

Students, alums and community leaders across campus share thoughts on and for Jay B. Silveria Boilermakers and community members have a rainbow of requests for Purdue’s new president, announced Nov. 5 . Top of mind? Tech investment, the tuition freeze and freedom of speech. All faculty and staff members the Journal & Courier spoke to were reluctant to comment on the record, citing lack of preparation or fear of consequences from the university. But Stephanie Masta, a professor in Purdue’s School of Interdisciplinary Studies, collected likes from both faculty and students under her critique of the board’s selection, which she posted on X and Linkedin . “Purdue University selects a non-academic president with little to no experience in academic research, who has no PhD, no connections to Indiana, and has only been at his current position for under 2 years. What a joke. “Selected boards make terrible choices. This is what happens when trustees want to work in the dark — the people with the most expertise are ignored.” The ability to share such opinions mattered to Malika Ansari, 22, who said the political environment is a concern for her: “I would want free speech to be prioritized.” Alejandro Morales

Honors South Residence Hall is supposed to be equipped with two working elevators. Now, with only one available, many of what were once simple aspects of resident life have become some of the most tedious, such as doing laundry.
