Attorney General Todd Rokita expands investigation of Notre Dame and Butler’s DEI Practices 

0

 

Attorney General Todd Rokita has issued Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) to the University of Notre Dame and Butler University, seeking information about their DEI practices and potential state law violations after both universities failed to provide materials requested in May letters.

“Racial discrimination of any kind in educational settings violates fundamental moral and legal principles that are enshrined in state law,” said Attorney General Rokita. “Nonprofit universities that flout those principles and pursue race-based DEI initiatives may jeopardize their nonprofit status or face other state law penalties.”

These formal legal demands for documents aim to determine whether the universities are engaging in racially discriminatory practices that may violate their nonprofit statuses, the Indiana False Claims Act, or the Deceptive Consumer Sales Act.

“Notre Dame and Butler were given ample time to address the concerns of many by responding to questions about their DEI practices, but they failed to provide anything meaningful,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “Just because the universities say they are complying with state law does not make it so. Publicly available materials in which the universities describe their race-conscious policies and practices are troubling and raise serious questions abut whether they treat their students, faculty, and staff differently based on race or skin color. On behalf of the people of Indiana, a full investigation is warranted to ensure that racial discrimination is not practiced in our institutions of higher education.”

Materials posted on the universities’ websites suggest that various aspects of Notre Dame’s and Butler’s operations may be governed by policies that treat individuals — including students, prospective students, faculty, staff and job applicants — differently based on the individuals’ race or ethnicity; employ race in a negative manner when making admissions or hiring decisions; utilize racial stereotyping; or allocate university resources based on race.

“Treating people differently based on skin color has no place in our state. The universities’ responses to our investigations will determine whether further action is needed to vindicate Indiana’s commitment to equality,” said Attorney General Rokita.

In May, DePauw University was also sent a letter concerning its DEI practices. According to Attorney General Rokita, a review of its response to his office’s inquiry is still ongoing.

Vanderburgh County Health Department West Nile Virus Advisory

0

One sample group of mosquitoes from a surveillance trap collected within the City of Evansville has tested positive for

West Nile Virus. This is the first positive test of mosquitoes in Vanderburgh County this year. So far there have been 294

positive sample groups within 61 counties in Indiana. A human case of West Nile Virus in Vanderburgh County was also

previously reported in July. The Vanderburgh County Health Department is advising the public to take precautions against

mosquito bites due to the presence of West Nile Virus being found in mosquito samples throughout the state of Indiana

and the risk of mosquitoes transmitting the disease progressing thru the rest of the summer.

While most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms or only mild flu-like symptoms, some people will

develop a more severe form of the disease affecting the nervous system, including inflammation in the brain and spinal

cord, muscle paralysis or even death. People older than 60 years and those with weakened immune systems are at higher

risk of severe symptoms. People who think they may have West Nile virus should see their healthcare provider.

The Vanderburgh County Health Department will continue to focus its efforts on habitat elimination, education, and the

treatment of stagnant or standing water for mosquito larvae, as these are the most effective forms of mosquito control.

Tips to help avoid mosquito-borne diseases and reduce mosquito populations:

• Avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are active (especially late afternoon, dusk to dawn and early morning);

• Apply an EPA-registered insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-

menthane-diol, or 2-undecanone according to the label instructions;

• Cover exposed skin by wearing a hat, long sleeves and long pants in places where mosquitoes are especially

active;

● Make sure your property is free of any standing water. Empty containers such as flowerpots, buckets, trash cans, and

clogged gutters. Keep the grass cut and landscaping trimmed, as adult mosquitoes use overgrown areas as safe places to

Cruz leads Otters to gritty middle game win

0
PEARL, Miss. – The Evansville Otters (28-52) fought from behind late to win the middle game against the Mississippi Mud Monsters (40-39) on Wednesday night, 7-6. The win sets up the Otters’ ninth road series rubber match this season.

The Otters sent out Joan Gonzalez for his seventh start of the season and he did a great job working around traffic. His night began by stranding two runners in the first.

Evansville jumped out in front for the second time in as many nights as J.T. Benson took advantage of a defensive mistake to reach second base. After stealing third, J.J. Cruz started his big night with an RBI single to jump the Otters out in front 1-0. Cruz shot for the moon in the fourth and a solo home run doubled Evansville’s lead at 2-0.

Gonzalez stranded two more runners in the third, but surrendered a couple of runs in the fourth.   After two runners reached to start the fifth, newcomer Stephen Paolini made a great running catch to record the first out of the inning. A base hit scored both runners to give Mississippi a 4-2 lead. The Otters bounced back on a great toss from Logan Brown and tag from Gonzalez grabbed an out at home to keep the deficit at two.

Two quick outs began the sixth, but the Otters rallied with two outs, and got some help from the Mud Monsters defense to get the lead. A high fly ball off the bat of Dennis Pierce fell after two outfielders collided, scoring two to tie the game at four. Graham Brown followed with a single to give Evansville a 5-4 lead.

Gonzalez went out for the sixth, but two runners reached to begin the inning, and after a fly out, he was replaced with Gunnar Dennis. The hometown kid was asked to get two outs and for the second straight night, he did so, facing just two batters, including a strikeout to end the inning.

After a shaky start to the seventh for the Otters pitching staff, Alex Valdez was called to get the final two outs with runners at second and third. He struck out both batters he faced, keeping the Evansville deficit to just one.

Cruz led off the eighth inning with his second home run of the game (his second multi-home run game of the year – July 4 @ Schaumburg) to tie the game at 6-6. After a 1-2-3 inning from Valdez, Benson reached on a walk and stole his second bag of the game. Logan Brown doubled down the line to score the go ahead run making the Otters lead 7-6.

Garrett Crowley was called on to make his first save as an Otter and needed just four pitches, as Keenan Taylor made a great backhand play at third with a strong throw to end the ballgame.  Valdez, with his excellent inning and a half, earned his third win of the season.

Cruz finished his night reaching all five times he went to the plate after he was intentionally walked in the ninth. He had three runs and three RBIs. It was his ninth multi-RBI game of the season.

Evansville returns tomorrow night for a rubber match between Mississippi with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT at Trustmark Park. It marks the final meeting between the Otters and Mud Monsters in Mississippi’s inaugural season. The Otters send out Alex Canney (1-1, 0.87 ERA) for his third start of the season after his 10 strikeout performance against Windy City over the weekend.
