Statement from State Sen. Spencer Deery

State Sen. Spencer Deery (R-West Lafayette) made the following statement today regarding Senate Enrolled Act 202 passing the Indiana General Assembly:

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 29, 2024) — "The passage of Senate Enrolled Act 202 by the Indiana General Assembly is a win for academic freedom, free expression and intellectual diversity on college campuses and a victory for those of us who believe universities should challenge students by fostering intellectually diverse communities.

"While some Indiana public universities are already thriving on those grounds, this measured bill would empower them all to improve with minimal disruption or inconvenience to how they already operate.

"I worked closely with the House to craft the amendments that were adopted, and I am proud of the final bill we are sending to the governor."
