Gov. Braun Replaces Three IU Board Members, Opposition Forms from Some Alums

Gov. Mike Braun has removed three elected members of the Indiana University Board of Trustees and appointed three new members, including notable conservatives Sage Steele and James Bopp, Jr. The new members will serve until 2027 or 2028, with Quinn Buckner’s term extended to 2026.
