Shooting at 628 E. Virginia

0

 At approximately 5:30 p.m. the Evansville Police Department was called to 628 E. Virginia (Virginia St. Food Mart) for a subject having been shot in the chest. Upon arrival officers located a juvenile victim. He had, in fact, been shot through the chest. The juvenile stated that he had been robbed and shot by four males who then fled east through the alley. 

Officers responded quickly and four males matching the description of the shooters were quickly found and detained. The potential suspects were taken to police headquarters to be interviewed by detectives. 

 Crime scene detectives also responded to the scene to collect video and shell casings from the incident. 

The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment. The extent of his internal injuries are still unknown at this time. 

Eagles survive late rally to top Flyers, 64-59

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball survived a late Lewis University run to earn a 64-59 Great Lakes Valley Conference road win over the host Flyers Thursday evening at Neil Carey Arena.

The No. 14 Screaming Eagles (7-1, 7-1 GLVC) led 59-48 with less than five minutes to play, but a 9-0 Lewis run that took up just over a minute put USI’s lead in jeopardy with less three minutes to play.

After a Lewis free throw cut the Eagles’ advantage to 59-57, sophomore forward Hannah Haithcock (Washington Courthouse, Ohio) hit a jumper to extend USI’s advantage to four points.

USI, which had season-high 24 turnovers, got a pair of stops on the defensive end throughout the next two minutes to keep the Flyers at bay. Haithcock, who led the Eagles with 15 points, got a big offensive rebound with less than 40 seconds to play to give USI an extra possession and milk more clock in the process.

Lewis (8-5, 8-5 GLVC) was forced to foul three times just to get the Eagles into the bonus; and sophomore forward Tara Robbe (Wildwood, Missouri) connected on 1-of-2 free throws to put USI up 62-57.

The Flyers got a quick basket on the other end to cut USI’s lead to three points with 23 seconds to play and, following a USI turnover, had a chance to tie the contest in the final 10 seconds of regulation.

Freshman guard Jenna Badali, who led the Flyers with a game-high 19 points, missed what would have been the game-tying three-pointer from the top of the key and senior guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) grabbed the rebound for the Eagles, who saw their lead increase to five points with a pair of Haithcock free throws.

DeHart and Robbe each had 12 points for the Eagles, who shot 44.4 percent (24-54) from the field and 40.0 percent (8-20) from three-point range. Robbe added a team-high eight rebounds for USI, which held a 38-32 advantage on the glass.

The Eagles also got 10 points and four assists from sophomore guard Addy Blackwell (Bloomington, Indiana), whose three-pointer with five minutes to go in the game put USI up 59-48.

USI, which used an 11-4 run to end the first half with a 34-27 advantage, held the Flyers to just 8-of-27 (.296) shooting in the first half, 2-of-11 (.182) from behind the arc.

Lewis cut USI’s advantage to four points early in the third quarter, but three pointers by senior guard Ashley Hunter (Flossmoor, Illinois) and Blackwell extended USI’s cushion to 42-32 five minutes into the second half.

Haithcock, who scored 11 points in the final 20 minutes, hit a three-pointer inside the final minute of the third period to give USI an 51-40 advantage; and the Eagles led 51-42 heading into the final 10 minutes of the game.

USI returns to action Saturday at 1 p.m. when it visits the University of Illinois Springfield for a GLVC East Division contest in Springfield, Illinois. The Prairie Stars (5-5, 5-5 GLVC) defeated McKendree University, 68-58, Thursday evening in Springfield.

 UE Senate Seeks Answers About Institutional Realignment

 UE Senate Seeks Answers About Institutional Realignment 

Evansville— 1/21/21 —The University of Evansville (UE) Faculty Senate today endorsed a resolution that asks the President of the university, Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz, to clarify how his institutional realignment process will proceed. The resolution passed by 13 votes to 2 with 1 absence. The faculty will now have seven days to vote on that resolution. 

The passed resolution argues that, while the implementation of the President’s institutional realignment plan has begun, much remains unclear regarding all three of its parts: the academic, the administrative, and the athletic. The resolution begins by discussing the academic part of the institutional realignment plan. It notes that the President has frequently said that he wishes to invest in existing areas of the university and to add new programs, but he has yet to formally name any of those areas of investment or new programs. It is also observed that the President has so far not publicly stated who will make the decisions regarding those areas of investment and new programs. 

The resolution then goes on to discuss the administrative and athletic aspects of the institutional realignment plan. After quoting the President’s statement that those aspects of the plan “were considered from the beginning of the process,” the resolution explains the faculty’s present relationship to the administrative and athletic parts of the institutional realignment plan: 

The faculty has … received no data or information regarding how those areas were evaluated. The “Realignment” section of the university’s website publicly offers historical data on the faculty, but provides no such data on the Administration or Athletics. Indeed, at this time, the President has yet to even confirm whether or not he has received the analysis of the Athletics program that he requested from BKD. 

The resolution continues by noting the faculty has a right to “involvement in the non-academic parts of the institutional realignment plan” because this is an aspect of shared governance. This idea is supported by a quote from the AAUP’s “Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities,” a document that was endorsed by the President and the Chair of the Board of Trustees in their August 26th letter to the faculty: 

The allocation of resources among competing demands is central in the formal responsibility of the governing board, in the administrative authority of the president, and in the educational function of the faculty. Each component should therefore have a voice in the determination of short- and long-range priorities, and each should receive appropriate analyses of past budgetary experience, reports on current budgets and expenditures, and short- and long-range budgetary projections. 

As the resolution observes, “when institutional budgetary decisions are made, the faculty is entitled to a voice in those determinations and to a number of different forms of data.” Therefore, “it is necessary for the faculty to be involved in all the budgetary decisions within the construction of the institutional realignment plan.” 

The resolution concludes by asking the President to offer written responses to twelve questions: 

1. Why did the Senior Administrative Team publicly release an incomplete draft academic realignment plan that contains only proposed deletions and lacks any proposed additions? 

2. What is the timeline for the proposed investments in existing programs and additions of new programs? 

3. Who will make decisions regarding the proposed investments in existing programs and additions of new programs? 

4. Will these program additions follow the procedure for “Curriculum Changes” outlined on p.219 of the Faculty Manual? 

5. Will the faculty, the Senate or any committee thereof vote on the final complete academic realignment plan? 

6. Did the Senior Administrative Team complete a full institutional review before the release of the draft academic realignment plan? 

7. Why did the Senior Administrative Team not design its evaluation and decision-making processes to enable complete draft realignment plans for all areas to be released at the same time? 

8. What is the timeline for the construction of the institutional realignment plan? 

9. What criteria were used in the evaluations of the Administration and Athletics? 

10. Will any of the data used within the evaluations of the Administration and Athletics be released to the faculty or made public? 

11. How will the faculty be involved in the construction of the sections of the institutional realignment plan that relate to the Administration and Athletics? 

12. Will the faculty, the Senate or any committee thereof vote on the final complete institutional realignment plan? 

We, the UE chapter of the AAUP, fully support this resolution. The President and his team have met with both the faculty and the students over the last week, yet, due to the President’s refusal to offer direct answers to a number of basic questions, the institutional alignment process remains largely opaque. For many reasons, not least those of enrollment and retention, the President needs to immediately clarify how the institutional alignment process will work. We sincerely hope that he offers a full, detailed answer to every question within the Senate’s resolution.

Invasion On Capitol Raises Concern For Black Legislators

Invasion On Capitol Raises Concern For Black Legislators

January 20, 2021

INDIANAPOLIS—In the wake of violent protests that triggered the closure of Indiana’s Statehouse and others, Black lawmakers voiced particular concern about the threat of ongoing violence.

Rep. Robin Shackleford, D-Indianapolis and chair of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, said the violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, accompanied by a demonstration at the Indiana Statehouse and others around the nation the same day, is the main source of the concern.

In Indianapolis on Jan. 6, Proud Boys and other supporters of former President Donald Trump gathered at the Statehouse to protest the 2020 election results.

Shackleford had an unpleasant experience with a man whom her staff believed to be a member of the Proud Boys that day.

“We can’t confirm if he was a part of the Proud Boy protestors. We have a feeling it might have been because it was the same day and there wasn’t much traffic,” Shackleford said. “But he did look for me specifically.”

Shackleford said her staff at the Statehouse reported the man wanted to talk about COVID-19 and the Black caucus, and that he was rude to staff members.

“I was concerned about that and reached out to leadership and state police to see if added security may take place,” Shackleford said. “And they did respond with extra security in the Statehouse.”

On Jan. 15, state officials announced that the Statehouse would be closed and all legislative activity suspended this week due to the threat of continuing protests, following the lead of other state officials around the nation. Few protests and little if any violence have occurred since.

“It hurts my heart,” said Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany. “I hope we can find ways to look past political labels and come together as Americans.”

Even though members are concerned, the Black Legislative Caucus doesn’t fear for the future but hopes to make it better.

“This is an opportunity for us to move forward, to not dwell on the past four years of the anger and the discrimation,” Shackleford said.

2021 Efroymson Fellowship Exhibition To Be Displayed In The McCutchan Art Center and Pace Galleries

0

The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship Exhibition, Woman, will be on display at the McCutchan Art Center/ Pace Galleries (MAC/PACE) on the University of Southern Indiana campus. A virtual exhibition will open on the gallery’s website, USI.edu/macpace, Tuesday, January 19, followed by an opening of the physical show in the galleries on Monday, February 8. The show will be on display through March 5.

Megan Thorne, the 2020 recipient of the Fellowship, is the featured artist for Woman. Her exhibition showcases photographs created during the fellowship that highlight womanhood from a feminist point of view. Thorne’s show analyzes topics that women deal with daily such as misogyny, objectification and the impact from the advertising, fashion, and makeup industries.

Thorne made the exhibition an installation from start to finish, including a room covered floor to ceiling in magazine ads and images, in order to give the viewer an immersive experience.

“I want the viewer to analyze themselves as they walk around my exhibition, it is meant to be overwhelming because what women deal with daily is damaging and overwhelming. If I can change one person’s mind about feminism or make them think differently after viewing my show, then I would be thrilled,” Thorne said. “I hope I am able to make people really think about what they could be doing to fix these issues, even if it’s something they are doing subconsciously.”

Thorne will host a virtual artist’s talk via Zoom at 6 p.m. Wednesday, February 3.

The Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship is a competitive award program awarded to one graduating senior or recent alum from the Art and Design Department annually. The goal of the Efroymson Bridge Year Fellowship is to fund a post-undergraduate year, allowing the recipient to focus on their studio practice to expand their artistic vision and enhance their portfolio, to gain maturity as an art maker, and to successfully gain entrance to graduate school in his/her area of expertise.

The MAC/PACE, located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center, is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Guests are invited to view this exhibition in person at the MAC/PACE. Due to physical distancing limitations in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, groups of 10 or more people should contact the gallery in advance.

For more information about the exhibit or Fellowship, visit the gallery website at USI.edu/macpace or contact the gallery at 812-228-5006.
