The International Studies program has requested to be left out of the political science department's proposal, which is currently under review by administrators.

Students and faculty raised concerns related to academic integrity and the impact of Koch Industries business practices on the rest of the world.

The proposal has been denounced in statements from ALC and CJBC, and a petition is currently circulating among students.

According to CJBC, "a trusted professor" shared that the proposal stipulates climate change will not be discussed within the program.

The proposed program calls for a new faculty hire, raising concerns that Charles Koch will have influence in the hiring process due to his donation.
