I am shocked But I do need to set record straight in one thing - you can't use the term Indiana University or Purdue University in the story as the place where this happened IUPUI is a joint campus in Indianapolis and it is not the main campus of either school (both Indiana Public Universities) - not being careful about it gives the impression that this happened at the main campuses and that is not true (I note that WSJ made same mistake on its editorial page). I am not sure if this would have happened at eitehr main campus, maybe it would have - but unti it does it has to be reported accurately I am appalled that IUPUI would act this way. I am shocked
