WEST LAFAYETTE — As arrests of pro-Palestine protesters increased across the country, Fox News invited Mitch Daniels, former Purdue University president and former Indiana governor, to speak about possible strategies for how to handle protesting students.
Daniels, who led the university from 2013 through 2022 and currently is the chairman of the board for the Purdue Research Foundation, called for action.
“You need prosecutors who will actually act. It doesn’t take too many to send the right message,” Daniels said in the Fox News interview, emphasizing the need for action.
“I think this whole round of ruckus is here as a potentially as a very positive clarifying effect. It’s clarifying to students and their families which schools will protect their safety, which schools are serious about the academic enterprise," Daniels said during the Fox News interview.
The Journal & Courier called the Purdue Research Foundation in an attempt to speak with Daniels. He was not available.
