Gov. Holcomb Signs Bill To Create Sexual Harassment Training For Indiana Lawmakers

0

Holcomb And Rush Unveil Improvements For Executive And Judicial Branches

At a bill signing for legislation that creates sexual harassment prevention policies for the Indiana General Assembly, Gov. Eric J. Holcomb and Chief Justice Loretta Rush shared changes to sexual harassment training policies for the state’s executive and judicial branches.

“In light of the many recent, high-profile sexual and workplace harassment cases, it makes sense for all branches of government to take a look at their own policies. There’s zero room for harassment of any kind in Indiana’s state government workplaces, and I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished to ensure that message is loud and clear in the legislative, executive and judicial branches,” Gov. Holcomb said.

The governor signed House Enrolled Act 1309 in his office today with the bill’s author state Rep. Karen Engleman, Senate sponsors Sen. Jim Buck and Sen. Tim Lanane,  and co-author Rep. Cherrish Pryor. The bill requires annual sexual harassment training for all members of the General Assembly.

Following the signing, Holcomb outlined changes to the state’s executive branch harassment prevention policies—all of which will be focused on modernization, increasing the culture of professionalism and civility, and empowering bystanders to speak up if they see something inappropriate. Changes include

  • Recognizing that organizational culture is set at the top, state agency heads will complete annual training workshops focused on workplace harassment, conduct, and civility.
  • Managers and supervisors at all levels will receive additional sexual harassment training as part of a new program under development by the Indiana State Personnel Department to launch this summer.
  • All state employees are currently required to complete computer-based training on an annual basis and during new employee onboarding. This training module has been updated and will be launched in May.

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush outlined a strengthened Judicial Branch policy focused on civility. Chief Justice Rush explained, “Past sexual harassment training often focused on what behavior was illegal. By emphasizing whether the offensive behavior was illegal, employers appeared to condone harassing behavior if it did not expose them to liability. Training for Judicial Branch employees will make clear our expectation is for an environment free of sexual harassment, intimidation, disrespect, and uncivil behavior.”

Changes include:

  • A revamped policy distributed by the Chief Justice to all Supreme Court employees.
  • An online complaint form for employees to more easily report problems immediately.
  • An increased emphasis on civility in all curricula dealing with harassment.

 

 

Hoosiers Place Third at NCAA Championships, Capping Historic Week

0

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.  – The No. 3-ranked Indiana University men’s swimming and diving team closed a historic 2018 NCAA Championships on Saturday night at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

The Hoosiers finished third overall in the team standings with a total of 422 points. Texas won a fourth-straight NCAA team title with a score of 449 points, while California took second with a total of 437.5 points. The 422 points scored are the most for the team in 49 years, when Indiana scored 427 in 1969.

The finish for the Hoosiers is the best for the program in 43 years, when IU took second in 1975. Indiana won a total of four NCAA titles over the week, the most for the team since winning six crowns in 1973. The top-10 finish for the Hoosiers at the NCAA Championships is the sixth in the last seven years.

For the third-straight season, Indiana finished as the top Big Ten team at the NCAA Championships – the best stretch for IU since accomplishing the feat for 15-straight seasons from 1964-78.

Over the course of NCAA Championships, the Hoosiers had 12 individuals earn a total of 42 All-America honors – the most in program history in 44 years since the team tallied 50 in 1974. Blake Pieroni led the way, earning All-America accolades in all seven of his events. Pieroni ends his stellar career with a staggering 19 All-America certificates.

Indiana swept the CSCAA Division I Coach of the Year awards, as Ray Looze was named Swimming Coach of the Year and Drew Johansen was named Diving Coach of the Year.

Junior Ian Finnerty was dominant in the Championship Final of the 200 breaststroke, winning the NCAA championship with a Big Ten, school and pool record time of 1:50.17.

Finnerty won his second NCAA title in as many days, becoming the first man in IU history to win both the 100 and 200 breast crowns in one season. The championship is the second in program history, as Finnerty joined Tom Tretheway in 1965 as NCAA champions in the 200 breast.

In the Consolation Final of the 200 breaststroke, senior Levi Brock placed eighth to finish 16th overall with a time of 1:56.32.

Vini Lanza had a historic finish for Indiana in the Championship Final of the 200 butterfly, taking third overall with a Big Ten and school record time of 1:39.75. With his mark, Lanza becomes the seventh-fastest performer in history in the event. Lanza’s finish is the best for a Hoosier in the event in 45 years, when Jim Montgomery won the title in 1973.

Andrew Capobianco capped his outstanding freshman season by placing third in the Championship Final of the platform dive with a total of 435.30 points. Capobianco was one of only two freshmen in the nation to score points in all three diving events.

Diving was a huge component of the Hoosiers’ historic week, as the diving squad scored an amazing 98 points, the most of any team in the nation. The 98 points scored by the diving team alone would have placed them 13th in the team standings.

In the Championship Final of the 100 freestyle, Pieroni has the best finish for a Hoosier since Jim Montgomery in 1977, placing fourth overall with a time of 41.51. The time is the fourth-fastest in school history.

In the Consolation Final, Blaskovic took eighth to finish 16th overall with a time of 42.43.

Samy placed seventh in the Consolation Final of the 200 backstroke to finish 15th overall with a time of 1:41.66.

UE Alumni Spotlight Artist Event to Feature Janice Greene

0

The University of Evansville is planning an Alumni Spotlight Artist event for Janice Greene on March 29 in the Melvin Peterson Gallery. A reception for Greene is set for 6:30 p.m., followed by a presentation at 7:00 p.m. Some of her work will also be on display. This event, which is free and open to the public, is being sponsored by UE Friends of Art.

Greene attended the Louisville School of Art and received her BFA and MAA from UE. She retired from the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library in 2013 after 41 years as a graphic designer and exhibits coordinator. She taught figure drawing and printmaking at UE and is past-president of the Artist Collaborative, Henderson Society of Art, and the American Association of University Women, Evansville Branch.

Her art includes prints, drawings, mixed media, and artist-made books. The images she creates are related to landscape and nature: representational or abstract. Her surroundings are a constant influence: nature, and the urban and natural landscape. She is interested in textures, layers, reflective surfaces and their relationship with each other. Often she combines printmaking with other materials. Her recent works consist of watercolor, ceramic and handmade paper. Greene’s work has been exhibited in competitive, invitational and group shows in New York City, Seattle, New Hampshire, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Australia and New Zealand.

She has received many awards including the Evansville Artist Guild Brian Daves Award, Best of Show in the 94 Artist Collaborative Exhibition, the 2007 Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana “Artist of the Year” Award and the Phenomenal Women of USI & the Community Award: Women Inspiring Hope & Possibility in 2004. In 1983, along with four other artists, she received an Indiana Arts Commission Grant for the “Handmade Book Project.”

Greene’s work is represented in private and corporate collections, including UE, Old National Bank, Solarbron Pointe, Deaconess Hospital, and the Swope Museum. She is represented by the Begley Art Source, New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, and The Rumjahn Gallery and Framery.

Schubert’s big day not enough as Eagles swept by Rangers

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball was unable to take advantage of two early leads, dropping a pair of Great Lakes Valley Conference games to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at the Case Softball Complex Saturday afternoon.

The Screaming Eagles (14-11, 3-3 GLVC) held leads in both games before the Rangers (14-12, 5-3 GLVC) rallied for a pair of 6-5 wins.

USI returns home tomorrow when it hosts No. 12 University of Indianapolis in a doubleheader that was moved to the USI Softball Field after inclement weather in Indianapolis. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Game 1: UW-Parkside 6, USI 5

UW-Parkside scored four times in the bottom of the seventh inning to erase a three run Eagles’ lead to rally for a 6-5 win in game one.

USI took a 2-0 lead in the first inning off RBI singles by junior outfielder Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) and senior third baseman Mena Fulton (Bloomington, Indiana). The Eagles would add to that lead with a solo home run by sophomore outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) in the fourth.

After UWP answered with a pair of runs in the fifth, Schubert hit her second home run of the game in the sixth. The Eagles added another run in the top of the seventh on a home run by junior second baseman Claire Johnson (Pittsboro, Indiana).

Sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) recorded 11 strikeouts, but was charged with the loss. Schubert finished with three hits, while Johnson and junior catcher Lindsey Barr (Whitesville, Kentucky) each finished with two.

Gov. Holcomb signs bill making the Say’s Firefly Indiana’s official state insect

0

Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today signed SEA 236 at Cumberland Elementary School in West Lafayette, making the Say’s Firefly Indiana’s state insect.

“The perseverance shown by these Hoosier students is inspiring—to kids and adults alike. After years of advocating for this bill, we’re all aflutter to make it official today,”  Gov. Holcomb said. “For the students, this has been an immersive experience that’s taught them about our government, science, art, public speaking and more. I hope they take what they’ve learned in advancing this legislation and put it to work in their communities throughout their lives. Their futures are flashing and bright.”
