Indiana University’s “Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity” needs to come up with more than $200,000 to plug an impending hole in its budget.
The provost’s office recently announced it would no longer subsidize the small research center, removing about half of its total budget.
“The Provost will stop funding CRRES in the fall 2025 semester, citing the budget deficit in the College of Arts and Sciences as the reason why his office no longer has funds available to support the Center,” the center announced on Dec. 12. “U Research…has also stopped funding [the center].”
The cuts will lead to “substantially” less “programming” and the center will need to fundraise, according to the news release.
