Indiana University Alumni Trustee Election Day
Posted by Zach Wendling on 30 June 2006 | one response
According to an email from the IU Alumni Association:
On June 30, IU alumni elected Philip N. Eskew Jr., BA’63 [sic], MD’70, to the university’s board of trustees for a three-year term. Eskew tallied 9,209 votes to beat runner-up Steve Sanders, BA’84, JD’05, and five other candidates.
I haven’t been able to find anything online yet, and I’ll post more as details emerge.
Even though ITA pick Steve Sanders fell short, Dr. Eskew was a close second in my estimation. You can see his profile here. Money quote, “The leadership void of the entire university is substantial.”
And best of all, an incumbent Trustee was de-elected!
Update: News release here.
Here are the vote totals:
- Philip N. Eskew Jr., Carmel, Ind — 9,209
- Steve Sanders, Chicago, Ill. — 6,555
- Cora Smith Breckenridge, Elkhart, Ind. — 5,503
- Steven Lloyd Kellam, Carmel, Ind. — 4,203
- Chris Sautter, Washington, D.C. — 3,559
- Trina S. (Ringenberg) Miller, Granger, Ind. — 1,611
- Carolyn Louise Jordan, Gary, Ind. — 1,010
The vote turnout was especially low this year, 31,650, which is approximately 6.6% of all alumni ballots.

So what was Steve Sanders’ position on the Rasmusen blog? What is his position with regard to free speech on campus? ANY history of attempting to suppress dissent and ANY support for censorship automatically disqualifies him.
