IU board tables controversial changes to Kinsey Institute
The Indiana University Board of Trustees tabled its scheduled Friday vote on controversial changes to the Kinsey Institute. IU administrators had proposed spinning off part of the historic sex research institute as a nonprofit, creating concerns about the future of the institute and its extensive collection of sex-, gender- and erotica-related materials. The spinoff proposal came after the Republican-dominated Indiana General Assembly passed a state budget this spring banning the institute from receiving state funds.
