Meet Spencer Schaberg.

He’s a junior microbiology major, an undergraduate researcher in the Kearns Lab, a biotech scholarship recipient and internship participant at a biotechnology startup, a science opinion writer for the IDS and MORE!

“I’m drawn to microbiology specifically because of how it permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, whether we know it or not,” he said. “Microbes shape our food, medicine, agriculture, and industry, though we still know so little about the scope of their diversity.”

Opinion, first published by the Indiana Daily Student (@idsnews) and republished by The Campus Citizen with permission.

IU ranked 256 out of 261 universities for free speech in this year’s rankings from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, one spot lower than last year. The Board of Trustees adopted the Chicago Principles in February.

IDS columnist Jackson Lythgoe argues that writing the principles into policy is not enough. He points to the cease and desist placed on the Palestine Solidarity Committee in August 2025, the arrests of 57 protesters at Dunn Meadow and the firing of former student media director Jim Rodenbush.

“The Chicago Principles themselves will not protect free speech unless the university administration demonstrates that it will do so, not just say it will,” Lythgoe writes.

This column reflects the views of the writer.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Are you passionate about journalism, having a voice as a student, or the survival of local news in general? Put your actions where your passion is and pick up the IDS from the boxes around campus. Maybe even read them. Maybe even in public! A crimson background. On the right side of the poster is a photo of an IDS newspaper box with the most recent edition in a pile at the bottom. Text reads: "Available around campus: the IDS. If you want to be involved with the IDS, or maybe you just want to support a local, student newspaper, pick them up!" At the bottom of the poster is the IU trident with the words "Media Living Learning Center"
