Won’t answer questions about the costs, benefits
Purdue University wants to pay remote workers to live on campus – but only if they are from outside of Indiana.
It has even created a partnership with a former staffer for the university president who previously pulled his company’s $40 million expansion in the state due to Indiana’s religious freedom law.
The Big Ten university stated in a news release that its “first-of-its-kind program” will “[unite] the collaborative, invigorating energy of a campus with the flexibility of remote work.”
The “Work at Purdue” initiative “invites and incentivizes remote workers to move to Discovery Park District at Purdue.”
The program offers housing, a $1,000 dining credit and up to $4,000 in cash relocation stipends to workers who move from out of state. MakeMy Move, the company that administers the program, puts the total benefit to workers at $9,000, according to a listing on its website .
Purdue spokesperson Tim Doty did not respond to two emails sent in the past month that asked for further information. The College Fix asked how the university would benefit from the Work at Purdue program, the fees charged to enrollees, the motivation behind the initiative and the cost to taxpayers.
MakeMyMove, co-founded by former Angie’s List CEO Bill Oesterle, will run the program. Oesterle led the corporate pressure campaign in 2015 to get Governor Mike Pence to water down the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act law. Oesterle previously worked for current Purdue University president and former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels as his campaign manager. CEO changes tune on whether workers should live in Indiana Though his company now will help convince non-Hoosiers to move to Indiana, he previously canceled a $40 million expansion in Indianapolis due to his opposition to the state’s religious freedom bill .

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
